Oppo Camp Jack Ginnivan (Traded to Hawks 2023)

[OniAu]

He draws contact when he gets the free. Hardly ground breaking. He isnt flopping.

Just like chopping the arms on a leading forward is a free kick.

All within the rules

 

[ipswichpies]

Refresh my memory, and my laziness to look it up, where did we draft this kid?

I thought he came from the rookie draft and a great pickup he is too.

Yeah. When we have defenders scragging, but hiding it to not give away a free or shepherding blokes out of marking contests subtlety enough to avoid detection, who are applauded for it, I don't understand why there's such angst when an attacker looks to draw a free.

Exactly. People are carrying on like he is in the Lindsay Thomas field of free kicks.

Hardly

 

[Rebuilder]

The rule is there not to pay the free kick if it's been deemed a Selwood type arm lift, if he's getting away with it that's not on him.

 

[TradeDraft]

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's akin to soccer flops for frees.

Play the ball hard.

Fall down when you are actually hurt.

Would you say that IF we won a Grand Final with Kick After the Siren from Ginnivan drawing the Free Kick?

 

[TradeDraft]

Lol how long have you been criticising “Duckwood”?

He does not play for Collingwood

 

[jmac70]

Gin is da man!

He more Leans in then Actually Ducking.

Pendles been doing a Simmlar thing last few seasons

 

[Rorzza]

I've been super impressed with what he delivered this year, his goal smarts is AFL standard. Hope by the start of next year Gin has replaced JT in his role. Won't be as quick or hard as JT but Gin will impact the scoreboard....

[Mkcaptain]

I'm stoked with his 2021. He showed plenty at VFL level and then when he got his opportunity at AFL he showed plenty of signs that he has the required traits. Small forward can be a graveyard position, but I was super impressed with how Jack would make his opportunities count when they presented them.

Love the balance between McCreery's bash and maniacal attack on the player/ball, and Ginnivan's skill and ability to get the ball in his hand's in goal scoring positions.

 

[Soups]

Going to kick a lot of goals for us.

 

[Jen2310]

These new coaches will instill the defensive side to his game. I suspect for all the kids. But definitely has the tools. Another pre-season in the gym will help.

 

[Leviathan Pie]

Going to kick a lot of goals for us.

I tend to agree, not saying he'll be a superstar - but there is no reason he can't be a really good contributor over the next 4-6 years.

Natural goal-nous isn't something to be dismissed lightly.

 

[Go Woods]

Going to kick a lot of goals for us.

I just can’t wait to see him play in front of our army at the ‘G’ Ginni looks like he was born for it...

 

[Quicky]

I'm curious to get peoples thoughts on Ginnivan? I've read a number comments from posters who rate him as a top talent.

I liked what he achieved this year. He showed improvement from the start of the year and forced his way into the team. He seems a shit head on the field (thats a compliment) with a knack for finding space and an accurate set shot.

That's all I've got for him. I'm very interested in views beyond that about what you see in Ginnivan?

Also whats the go with his shorts? It's like they're two sizes too big. I've never seen someone wear a pair of footy shorts so badly.

Eddie Betts?

 

[jonbe54]

Not true. Cox doesn’t draw frees.

He would, and lots of them if he wasn't being deliberately umpired out of the game.

I think he's a ripper with a very high ceiling. Exceptional awareness and very good ball skills. Get his body right and I think he'll be playing midfield in a few years.

You can't teach awareness and goal sense, get the rest right and he will be a handful for any opponent.

Really?
They actually term it a "selwood type arm lift"

 

[Pie eyed]

He would, and lots of them if he wasn't being deliberately umpired out of the game.

Imagine if Cox were allowed to push in the back at every single contest like Tom Hawkins?
50 goal a year better prospect.

 

[Quicky]

I found his 2021 highlights video:



He's not only an accurate kick but a penetrating one too.
