Welcome Welcome to Hawthorn : Jack Ginnivan!

[CaptainWorpedo]

I think he avoided it, because it’s clear they did. A Pies preseason is probably as intense, if not more intense, than ours.

One of the many reasons they won so many tight games when it was on the line. They were fit, focused and very well prepared.

To suggest Ginnavin will get a “real pre-season” at Hawthorn (as opposed to where he’s been the past 3 seasons) is nonsense.

I feel Ginnivan may get a better preseason at the Hawks this year, than at the pies.

However that has nothing to do with the Pies pre season plans. A more to do with Ginnivan being inspired to do well after feeling unwanted and landing at his childhood club.

Remember, he missed the first 4 matches of the year, not due to being unfit but arising from the Torquay pub suspension.

He came back into their side in rd 5 after 2 VFL hit outs, and played in 8 straight wins before going out with illness and that's when his extended VFL run happened.

If he gets a better pre-season at the Hawks, it's probably because he will feel like he's player #15 on our list, and a very strong chance of playing every game, as opposed to player #25 on the Pies list and always under the pumps to get/hold a spot.

More to do with relative list strength than anything else.

Ginni back at it early working with a running specialist. I reckon he looks hungry and wants to prove the doubters wrong, come back to preseason sharp

****, not Primetrain

 

[Spook]

Considering he has every right to take his entitled leave but has chosen to train at the club instead is the first great positive step of hopefully many more.

Exactly. I think it is a great sign. Serious about winning flags

Sharp of him to already start working with Lewis, already ready for any crumbs he drops

Maybe a good option for SC may get a midfield rotation.

Rodney Eade mentioned that the Pies are doing more training without the footy than any other team, pure running and sprint drills.

Therefore Ginnivan either didn't buy into that program, or is simply young and still building his fitness. My read is that it was likely a mix of both. In 2022 he looked fitter.

So Sam has sent Finn to tag Ginnivan in the offseason. Keep him to donuts on the rap sheet.

Which is exactly what Tom Mitchell did when he transitioned to Collingwood so he has the perfect transition blueprint. Tom's podcast with Ginni is an interesting watch.

“Needed to be there”: Cornes disappointed by Ginnivan’s absence at Hawks pre-season

“Jack Ginnivan needed to be at his new club on day one of pre-season.”

I think Cornes has a point here. Wonder if Mitchell has prompted Cornes to send a message?

 

[cs61]

Wow, that must be some sort of record for how early for Cornes to get stuck into someone at a new club.

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Isn't he on mandated leave due to playing in the GF?

 

[VandoHawk]

Yes which makes the article absolute tripe

He played in the GF.

The AFLPA mandate says he gets extra time off. Cornes is wrong.

Same mandate for Dylan Stephens though at North, didn't have to be there for 2 more weeks, but was there on day one.

Stephens didn't play in the GF.
Has a fair bit to prove too after taking on very good money as a likely fringe player.

 

[lyger]

If having the mandated break is going to allow him to refresh and be at his best for tackling the upcoming season, then it’s all good.
