Oppo Camp Jack Ginnivan (Traded to Hawks 2023)

Good on you Matrix… flying the flag. I grew up in Niddrie and went to school in Essendon. Boy oh boy, I copped it over the years.

once kicked 119 goals in a season for his junior club. Half that will do for the Pies .

Hopefully a third of this in his first full season, then half of it in his second. We’ll get to the full 119 after a few seasons though.

I copped a lot from bummer supporters, but when we won, I took a mini black and white footy to work and displayed it for the unwashed masses.
Needless to say, I enjoyed it.

I started an all in brawl v SKevs in a school first 18 game. .Slipped in the first sneaky punch then stepped backwards to watch the reaction lol.

Edit …… it was probably a practice match because from memory SKEVS was an AGS school and I went to haileybury which was APS…..

.............
if the pies can start a narrative about jack giving to the poor ....or saving the ukraine.... or similar things... it would be sure to improve his status with the umpires and he'd get more frees.....well its worked for geelong

Perhaps we should start with a small statue and work our way up from there

 

[Pie eyed]

The high tackle ruling, prior opportunity and the push in the back rulings are all just being made into "vaguries" which allow Umpires to turn games on opinion.

St Kevin's always an APS school - Hailebury worked its way up the school social ladder from AGS to APS.

 

[76woodenspooners]

I wonder how much of this nonsense is the AFL deciding that a 20 game forward line player simply shouldn’t be getting that many free kicks that close to goal so easily?

So not a praccy match! Long time ago couldn’t remember

Didn't want to ask if you were over 100...

An alternate view: the AFL are not specifically interested in one particular tackle and whether it is high or not. Their biggest concern is trying not to encourage players trying to draw this free. Because that trickles down to juniors.

This is a view many people shared when the Selwood brothers entered the AFL.

One could easily argue that Ginni is merely a product of the AFL not intervening when they should have.

Fair enough. Better late than never. Can’t recall the Selwoods saying they deliberately tried to get frees this way.

That was the mistake.

comes out and blatantly says how he plays for frees and continues to get them. Dogs even get coached for frees and keep getting them but somehow the afl/umps unload on Ginnivan ? It’s not right, AFL need to take a hard look at themselves. I feel for the kid.

I think he's smart enough to change his game - eventually.

I suspect he might not get through this year without a rest, but will become a valuable player and play 150+ (assuming he doesn't get badly injured in 2022)

because no one cares enough about the Bulldogs at the end of the day, If Ginnivan played for Geelong he'd be labelled courageous

As soon as he pulled out the Go Pro in round one, he put a target on his own back.
Harmless fun, but the fun police have targeted him ever since.

By contrast, the Bulldogs are the poster boy team. God help one our players if they snorted cocaine, they'd be torn to pieces.

so that's 7 or 8 years at least.... fair enough

He won't get head high tackles if he hasn't got one.
Ginni the headless Magpie player.

 

[JuniorB]

That should mean he plays this week.
Fly said he trained really well.

Just testing a scenario........ as at today I reckon there's about a 12% chance of Ginnivan playing in a premiership this year (don't worry about the maths I've worked it out )

Assume this scenario plays and Jack steps up on the dais to receive his medal....

Now (excuse the pic) - by tradition players lower / duck their head when receiving the medal

ie



So if Jack is on the dais after the big dance.....



WILL HE DUCK HIS HEAD??????

Ginni’s never been a ducker, he’ll lower himself slightly and lean into the medal.
