It only made the press because it was Ginnivan.

Atleast as over reacted as this has been, if it was anyone else it’d be a lot less meaning.

Deserves all the hate he gets.. he and his 4ft mate. Cant stand Ginnivin and Watson
Without reading all these latest posts, let me guess how it plays out...
Hawks fans defending him.
Everyone else thinks he's a w@nker.

To be fair there seems to be a fair % of hawks posters conceding he has done the wrong thing. So you know he really has F*cked up.

Human headline at least in footy. We haven’t had one since the buddy days at hawthorn
Yep, it's exactly the same thing as a concert.
Also, I don't think you've been to many concerts if you think that it doesn't happen there too.

It made the press because someone connected to SEN was affected by it. Players have been no-showing footy clinics since forever
Luckily for me over the years the cancellation has happened in the days before the event. But I was unlucky enough to have a rap duo from Long Beach only have one member turn up for the show. And that member couldn't be arsed rapping along to full vocal tracks that were playing half the time.
But have put up with artists coming on 2-3 hours later than scheduled. And on all these occasions I was not impressed or happy about it. Especially when it was a week night and I had work the next morning.
The point was it was a paid clinic specifically set around the 2 players. And was cancelled at the last minute that parents and kids would have shown up before being notified. The inconvenience and the specifics of the event are slightly different to player not showing up to a free school or footy club run clinic.

I was the photographer for a Starlight foundation event way back at the turn of the century taking photos of sick kids and their families with footy stars, and a number of AFL players didn’t turn up.
Anthony Stevens did and his soon to be infamous wife, but he also had with him an out of clothes police escort because he’d apparently played up the night before in town, got locked up and had somehow convinced them to let him go(but with an escort). It made very little sense to me at the time and still doesn't even now thinking back.
It never made it to the press either.

And a bigger story because they organised this themselves the players at $65 a pop.
Out of season to get some cash on a Sunday morning.
If this was organised with the club you could just wheel out a couple of other players.
Doubt they’d of organised it and would’ve just originally agreed to showing up.
Whoever rostered the players for the footy clinic the morning after the bnf deserves a kick up the clacker. Not making an excuse for the players, but that obviously didn't help.
Unfair that a young innocent helpless child like Ginni is being criticized for not upholding the standards and responsibilities expected of a grown adult. Those footy clinic folks are a bunch of mean bullies for leaking this to media.
