Just watched the Ginbey highlights.

I’ve been pronouncing his name with a hard g (like gin the drink), rather than a soft g.

Sounds weird. Delist.

...wait, gin is pronounced with a hard g? Thought it was the same sound as 'juniper', of which gin is derived from.

Gin is derived from wheat or barley. Juniper is the main flavour.

It's Winbey or Binbey goddam it!

Get Dustin Martin Jack Macrae vibes off Ginbey.

Hopefully if we select him he doesn't set a foot in defense. Said the same thing with SPS when we picked him up, that he needs to be mid only, and low and behold he's all over the shop with no set role and his form is the disappointing same as it was at Carlton.

Kinda what we do with all recruits. Make them fit in rather than adjust our current players roles to maximise the recruits output. So ****ing annoying

Can't say I've ever been keen on nothing sized medium forwards, the AFL is generally where they go to die.

Can quickly turn into another Hayden Crozier, Curtis Taylor cliche.

He'd want to have something pretty special in his game to warrant selection, even more so coming off an ACL injury.

Surely Aaron Edwards or Ben McKinley are the references you're looking for

Surely there were more impressive things they could put in Ginbeys' highlights. That was pretty underwhelming

As a side note, the name actually comes from the word Dutch 'Jenever', which is a juniper flavoured spirit that we now know as 'Gin'.

The English came across it during the 80 years war, when they went to fight the French alongside the dutch. The Dutch were all drinking it before going into battle and that's when the term 'Dutch Courage' was penned by the English.

I know someone called Ginbey, and it’s pronounced Jinbey. Which is derived from these nuts

Used to teach a cocktail class 4 times a week, back in my hospitality days. I'm full of fun facts, such as this one.

So I have to ask - how is gin pronounced then?

So the G in Ginbey's name is pronounced the same as a the Gs in gin gimlet?

 

[Ochre]

The G at the start of Ginbey's name is meant to pronounced like the start of Venables.

A wise teacher gave my class some advice that I will now share with you

Better to have the world think you’re a fool than open your mouth (or in your case hit the keyboard) and remove the doubt

Takes one to know one!
