Oppo Camp Jack Ginnivan (Traded to Hawks 2023)

[Kings_Gambit]

Robbo is disgusting! I am appalled he still manages to attack Ginnivan after his post game interview. Jack’s parents must be so angry this middle aged man continues to use his undeserved prominent voice to attack a kid!

 

[unplugged]

Robbo completely missing the point again. Just because it affects his mental health it doesn't mean he he's depressed and can't bear to talk about it or look at it.

I'm sure it could be as simple as walking down the street and someone yelling out at him.

Or his name getting mentioned every ten mins on the radio.

Or some fat slob writing about him in the paper every Monday.

 

[cityslick1]

Great example of AFL hypocrisy.

I'd go further and say, it's impossible for any player to brace for contact, or change direction, without lowering their centre of gravity.
Unless of course, you have a supply of helium balloons up your butt (I'm looking at you Brad Scott).

What about the fact that players are already low when they are picking up the ball. Can’t believe more hasn’t been made of this. Pretty hard to be standing upright as soon as you possess the ball from below your knees, with momentum taking you forward …

 

[jonbe54]

Look Robbo and Cornes are just two of the most blatant and extreme examples of what happens when you legislate to allow two corrupt corporate snakes to own the ENTIRE media resources of the country AND have no safeguards in place to keep them in line.

The media have no oversight and are allowed to do exactly as they please with no consequences.

THIS is what happens.

 

[sideswipe]

Probably because after he did no one batted an eyelid and it was said to be smart play the onus is on the tackler.

There are numerous articles with him stating he is taking advantage of a rule and until they change it he'll keep exploiting it.


Edit here: sideswipe
2014 Article referencing 2012 interviews with him. Interesting them bragging that Selwood laughs about it oh but only Ginnivan does that hmm...

Selwood has acknowledged the criticism in recent years, but speaking in 2012, he argued he was using legitimate evasive techniques.



Former teammate Cameron Mooney questioned what choice Selwood had.

3 Apr 2018 — “You can talk about the whole thing that I duck but I do it to the rules at the moment and I will continue to do it until they get changed.”

There are more but I think that says it all, no?

Excellent research. You and Jonbe might be right - there just might be a conspiracy!

In reality, what has happened is that the AFL were forced to act to be seen to protect the head by discouraging others to follow Ginni's deliberate moves. Should they have done this years ago re:Selwood? Undoubtedly.

That means we're all ok here - some more ok than others?

I actually just picked up the Herald Sun from the work lunch room and it beggars belief that we're on a 10-0 run and Robbo chooses to write about Ginnivan. I'd propose that he's living rent free in his head ever since ANZAC Day

I never read or view him for any reason whatsoever.

A total campaigner.

Consider yourself lucky you are not paying for the newspaper and the privilege of reading Robbo.

 

[Doc1763]

If Robbo is rooting for us we must be going places....

Please refrain from using the words Robbo and rooting in the same sentence.

The great excuse used by those who read the HS / Robbo etc. -------- "I just picked it up in the work lunch room" etc etc

Slight tweak - "Robbo is roo#ed"?

And lucky to have a lunch room

When we were young, lunch had not been invented

Lucky to be allowed in the lunch room before 12 (excused if shift work)

Over to you Brad Scott et al (good luck Jack we're rooting for you)

 

[lyfsux]

It's funny the picture the HUN used on that fat fu@ks story is the one that Boak tackles which was a correct tackle

and goes with the jist of the story but they don't use the one above which was the tackle that wasn't paid again which

the story should be about

And lucky to have a lunch room

Aye, you had it easy. Our da would send us to bed without any supper and we considered ourselves lucky we.didnt get a walloping as well

 

[OniAu]

I would love home to kick 5-6 goals the next 3 weeks , end up with 50 and force himself into AA contention. He would of course be snubbed but it would be a great statement.

Unless he has an 80 goal season , he will never get selected. Name is mud among AFL circles. Feel like will be the story of his career, hoperfully we just win a few flags with him to make up for the incessant degrading of this kid.

 

[Maggie Greg]

Aye, you had it easy. Our da would send us to bed without any supper and we considered ourselves lucky we.didnt get a walloping as well

You guys realise 90% of the posters on here have no idea what you are talking about. But this is the place for an argument!

 

[Maggie5]

Aye, you had it easy. Our da would send us to bed without any supper and we considered ourselves lucky we.didnt get a walloping as well

What? You had a bed?

 

[raymond35]

Luxury...

Oh, we used to dream about lunch not being invented. When I was a young un meals hadnt been invented. Da and ma fed us on the cold ashes of the fire we didnt need to cook the food we didnt have. Aye.

Fire? When I was a young’un we didn’t have fancy things like fire.

I used to trudge home in the snow, no shoes on my feet, and then chop wood with just my bare hands.

Then all we could do as a family was to stare at the wood stacked in the fireplace, and imagine how warm and happy we’d be if fire had been invented yet.
