Could have kicked 5 or 6 if not for going for snap kicks when drop punts are a better option. That kick to Chol was smart footy, love him at the Hawks

Brayshaw and co in commentary have a lot to answer for. Borrow US sports commentators phrases.
Here’s a thought, why not try to emulate the professionalism of those guys. It’s daylight ahead of our AFL commentary
With a couple of exceptions. Abbey Holmes is good value. It’s not the special comments people so much, just the play callers

I can’t find it, can someone find ginnis gps numbers compared to last year?
Professionalism of afl commentators has been declining over time. They simply are not interested in being better.
Absolute lad. What a great pick up.
At the ground the kids were choosing what badge they wanted for their scarves. Both went Ginnivan! Go to buy badges... people in front want Ginnivan badges, we want Ginnivan badges, ppl behind want Ginnivan badges. They were already sold out! Doh!!
Meek and Day were the back up choices.

Abbey is a star, followed closely by Erin Phillips. The quicker they take over the better.
He’s king of the kids. Amazing how they all gravitate toward him. Mine the same from his first game

He was 11 during the 2014 season, makes sense he would gravitate towards Langford. Had a pretty special final series.

Could do a lot worse for a role model than Taylor Duryea - absolutely gave it his all every game. Loved his work when he played for us.

I reckon we need to get around Ginni, with something like the Breust "BRRRREEEEEUUUUUUSSSSSTTTTTT".
Not sure what it sounds like, but I'm sure we can come up with something. Get the crowd right behind him, he certainly gets no love from the Umps or the opposition.

We already have one.. "HIIIGHHHH!"
I'm glad we've got the superstar. Go hawks!

It seems Ginni has changed his approach to milking frees in the last couple of weeks.
The arm lifting is generally still there but the automatic dropping of knees and flopping to ground with every contact has disappeared. It looks like he is taking the Selwood approach of shrugging off and trying to play through the infringement.
Also he has stopped the demonstrating and mouthing off when he doesn't get the free. He is staying more focused and generally just getting on with it. It's been noticeable.
I like this approach. He was getting reamed by the umps, largely his own doing. Stamp out the obvious flopping, stop mouthing off and get on with it. The umps will soon turn back in his favour because many frees are still there. He will also be a better player for it.
