Rumour Hawthorn "the family club" lets down families again

[apollo_creed]

Part of being an AFL footballer and the fame, money and privilege that goes with it is responsibilities like this.
It's far from the end of the world but I'm sure Mitchell and the club privately would be unhappy with the players involved.

Not unreasonable to have been aware of the clash, rescheduled the event and let customers know a week in advance. Offered refunds for those who couldn't make it on the new date then opened up more spots to make up for lost revenue due to refunds.

Invite the kids to Dingley for a clinic when its up and about.

Make sure the kids Tetanus shots are up to date.

They'd probably prefer them to get shitfaced again

But what about the parents that don't have 4WDs?

Would have been worse if they turned up and spewed on the kids.

Surely the players knew in advance this is a morning after the club event and they probably wont be in a good position to attend. How could they not say to the club can you change it to the next day? Seems like they didn't take responsibility. Then again if the club forced them to attend even after they told them not a good time that's on the club

Haven't read the thread, but what have Ginnivan and The Wiz been doing since round 19? A caller on SEN rang in to talk about them and said something like "and since round 19" and then got booted off the air, no doubt said something wild and they used their 7 second delay.

What was it?

Kids would have loved it (parents less so).

Not only would they have met Ginni & the Wiz but they'd have one hell of a thing to take to show and tell.

"And that's The Wiz's carrot and that Ginni's tomatoes. Oh it was so awesome".

Kicked 9 and 15 goals respectively. Caller was admiring their strong finish to the season.

To pin this on 'the club' is a bit much. Watson is 19 and I'd be more lenient with him, but Ginnivan is a flog, is in his 4th season (at a second club), and is a bad influence. I'd be looking more at him as an ongoing issue. Collingwood (McCrae) was right, Ginnivan doesn't read the room and thinks he's above that. I wish we didn't draft him. I see this as a bit of a parallel to the situation at Richmond years ago with Dan Connors and Dustin Martin.

tbh Hawthorn should have some understanding neither of them are mature enough and their official appearances need to be managed/limited as much as possible.

reasonable call. they are however reasonably popular with the kiddies it would seem

Did the Wizard disappear himself, voila!

And Ginnivan, did he gets his weeks mixed up again? Someone needs to get him a calendar.
