Welcome Welcome to Hawthorn : Jack Ginnivan!

[grumbleguts]

You have to laugh.
The people who whinge about Jack not getting frees would have also complained about Selwood getting all those frees.

I hope you're trying to be funny. If so, great joke, almost went over my head. If not:

Another 4 tackles and 19 pressure acts, these two stats are the evolution of Ginnivan. These are elite pressure numbers for a small forward.

 

[Leather Poisoning]

Gotta love a small forward that still kicks 2 goals on an off day

Imagine how many more he’d get if he was umpired the same as everyone else.

 

[The Jet From Poowong]

Imagine how many more he’d get if he was umpired the same as everyone else.

There was a free kick paid to Curtis today which Jack has missed out on receiving so many times this season. It is just amazingly bad.

Heart and soul player, after watching more of him I find him a pretty smart footballer, is working really hard for the team. He gets a little bit stronger and those half chances and (frees when the umpires get theirs heads out of wherever they are) will start coming off.

Midfield firing is critical tho otherwise Jack isn’t going to impact enough

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Love how hard he works defensively, that was never a feature of his game for Collingwood. He's really got himself fit enough to work up the ground and do the little team-things. He's been a brilliant pickup so far.

Life long Hawk fan …… reckon Ginni enjoyed singing the song for the first time. Had a surreal look about him while looking around at his teammates.

 

[VandoHawk]

His work-rate and pressure, neither features of his game at Collingwood, have really shone through this year. Only 21. Will be a great pickup for a long time.

 

[spudmaster]

Imagine how many more he’d get if he remembered his long-sleeve jumper.

Fixed.

Will be a hawk for life.
Best recruit since Lake

 

[MrPremiership]

Has been an amazing pick up. Great recruit and looks to be loving his football.

We got a good one here

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

 

[Yardie]

Wondering if this is why he get no free kicks....

 

[MrPremiership]

Recruit of the Year

 

[Leather Poisoning]

He's a lot stronger than he looks - stands up in tackles, holds his ground in marks well.

And he is ALWAYS in the front/centre position for the crumb. Really really like this guy - great recruitt

Honestly it's verging on being corrupt.

A high tackle is a high tackle, how can it depend on who is getting tackled?

 

[Boot Studder]

His work rate was impressive, too. Even in the final minutes of the game, he was full of run and still making an effective contribution. Very good to see.

100% this.

I will continue to make the argument that the onness should be on the tackler to make a legal tackle, not on the man playing/with the ball to place their body in a way that makes it easy for them to be tackled.

Jack is showing a lot of maturity for a very young man. I would be livid if this was happening to me. He just gets up and gets to the next contest and uses it to fuel his play. Very different to someone like Sicily at the same age who was a lot more petulant.

I’m hoping that this tough period with the umps will stand him in good stead to ride the ups and downs over a very long career.

How do I send this to Bailey Smith?

 

[Ned Ryerson]

Absolutely wrapped to have Ginnivan - he might just be going to another level naturally but it's as if playing for his childhood club was something he always wanted (moreso than a lot of players who just get into it at their new club) and now that he's here he is going to bust his arse for the guernsey. Exudes the right attitude that's for sure. Love watching him go about it.

 

[Sixpence]

How do I send this to Bailey Smith?

When you work it out, send it to Harry Sheezel too!

 

[Slainte]

He has exceeded my expectations. Seemed like a bit of a show pony playing for Collingwood. With us there is still a trace of that but the work rate and pressure is great. A bit of Frostball from him on Sunday. Hope he gets a hold of that faster than its inventor.
