Jack Ginnivan - Redemption arc

[SSSSSS]

Seriously though it's not a good look.

Pretty silly to schedule it after the B&F where most players will have the license to let their hair down for one night a year.

Hopefully they can arrange an opportunity to reschedule and make it up for the kids.

 

[Fluro Boots]

Their managers not managing on this one.

Hawthorn duo leave ‘absolutely heartbroken’ kids in tears

Angry parents have detailed how their kids had ‘the worst day of their life’ because of Jack Ginnivan and Nick Watson.

This is all Ken Hinkley's fault

Their managers not managing on this one.

Yeah, whoever set this up and then said yes to this is just an idiot. Use the calendar function on your phone next time.

That said, "worst day ever" for kids doesnt really mean anything. Their previous worst day ever was when they had to eat their vegies before getting ice cream.

Hopefully Gini imitates a crying child as a goal celebration next year.

 

[Retzlaff]

“We have a very young child who was let down by a much older man.”

Asked whether she would seek to speak with Ginnivan, the mum said “Absolutely not”.

This is all Ken Hinkley's fault

Growing momentum for Ginnivan to be traded to Geelong + Hawthorn's F1, and paying 75% of his salary for Geelong's 1999 R6.

 

[RUNVS]

A really shitty thing to do from Ginnivan and Watson.

Scheduling a clinic after a BnF is pretty dumb but also equally as dumb for the players to agree to do it.

Probably dumbest of all to just not attend it as a grown adult

 

[jannissary]

def ginnivin & watson, the towering child in question probably intimidated them too much

*Child, Jack Ginnivan is a child if you listen to Hawks fans silly

 

[SSwans2011]

Good opportunity for Port to win some new fans by sending out these kids' soon-to-be new hero, Kenny H, to meet them.

I know the opportunity to meet Sir Ken would be a dream come true for many of us on here.

Absolutely agree with you. They committed themselves to attend a paid function and bailed on it. Even if they were volunteering and didn't show up its pretty bad, but charging $65 a kid for just over an hour and not turning up. It's pretty pathetic.

Oh god, I assumed it was some free event, not paid. Yeah, that's much worse. Pretty piss poor.

I'll add this to my write up.

This should be taken to the AFL players association and challenged under the new industrial relations laws & regs recently introduced by Albo/Burke. Straight after a marathon season how the hell were Ginnivan and the Wizard expected to do a clinic the following morning straight after the clubs B&F!

This is preposterous needs an inquiry these two deserve an apology and would be amazed if it’s not mentioned during the time parliament next sits

It's their own private business, Ginnivan and Watson scheduled the clinic and charged for it. Otherwise, solid rant.

 

[Hoops]

The family club

 

[Gavin Excell]

I trust the kids got a refund

 

[Dewyyyyy]

A non story.

Everyone refunded, Ginnivan specifically said he’d reschedule, and either result would’ve caused similar issues.

They either don’t go and this happens, or do go and go hungover and maybe worse.

 

[Xtreme]

The old Ginni would have turned up to the clinic blind as a bat.

Ginni redeemed x100

I'm sure you would be happy to role up at Rod Laver to see what ever famous musician you paid top dollar to see. Only for them to not show up as they had a hangover. I'm sure you will be happy as larry once they tell you they will reschedule at a later date.

Was that about Hinkley from Sammy's press conference.

Has happened before, and will again. It’s poor but it’s how they work through it now

Again I doubt it’s as big of a story if it’s different players
