Oppo Camp Jack Ginnivan (Traded to Hawks 2023)

[Jen2310]

Love Ginni. Think he will be the sub this week and that’s alright.

We can't discount that option. Don't know how much longer they can have Reef as the sub. Needs to play a full game at some level.

 

[TW Sherrin]

He's the perfect sub if McInnes isn't picked ( he go back for a hit out in the vfl)

 

[NMBB]

I like the Jack Anthony analogy.

As long as Ginni doesn't start turning up uninvited to weddings

Love Ginni. Think he will be the sub this week and that’s alright.

We need Ginni to fire up all the oppo sooks that lose all control when he plays. He can come on for 10 minutes just to ruin their trip home

Unleash him to terroise richmond would be nice.

No need to terrorise - annoy intensely will suffice

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

I’m good with Ginni being sub. There’s plenty of cases to be made for others to take this spot but the vfl have only played one game against weak opposition. Let them show some consistent form first. Ginni deserves first crack.

Shoosh the Punt Rd end cheer squad after a goal and many 2002 Holden Barina's will be getting torched near the injecting rooms Friday night

You forgot - microwaving membership tickets, depositing truck load of chicken sh*t / chicken hearts?? outside their footy offices...

Think so too.

Like the idea of him kicking a crucial last QT goal as a sub. Although hopefully we’re 10 goals up so it isn’t that crucial.

 

[Abdul_The_Bull]

Ginni will need to work hard to get back in the side, which he is capable of doing. I feel that this year's team will be relatively stable and that changes will be forced (through injury, typically) rather than 'throwing magnets'. This is a good situation and breeds competitiveness and a willingness to be your best at all times.

 

[JuniorB]

I hope so. He's one hell of a prospect. His combination of size, athleticism and aggression is just incredibly rare.

Some big guys seem to take a while to grow into their bodies.
Darcy Moore was a bit fragile earlier in his career with soft tissue injuries, but is pretty durable now.
Will Kelly & Charlie Dean are two others who seem made of glass.
Hopefully Freddy will put his injury troubles behind him and become a good player, because the little we have seen has been tantalising.

Agreed - in his time on ground Reef hasn't put a foot wrong & shown plenty.
His size and speed would be a headache for opponents.

 

[Mkcaptain]

Reef could play 20-30 minutes as a sub Friday night and then play 2-3 quarters in the VFL Saturday night

He definitely could

Question: Are you allowed to do this?

i know you can come up from VFL to AFL, but can you go the other way?
pretty sure you can if you are the unused sub??? but not if you actually play?

Agree - same happens in cricket - a lot of the tall fast bowlers seem to get a lot of injuries when young, but most of them develop into their bodies.

I'm pretty sure Carlton did it with Lachie O'Brien this weekend

Froggy Thompson and Ben Reid come to mind.

I was thinking more recent times - Brett Lee, Mitch Johnson and Cummins barely played cricket from 18-24ish - then got their bodies right and became very durable.

Yup cool thanks.
I can't remember it ever happening before....so thought i'd ask.

No argument young tall and lanky fast bowlers will always have these problems - it's a high stress action on young and still settling bodies.

 

[Masked Magician]

Maybe we should put him up for trade then.

I think that is an option at the end of the year.

 

[Jen2310]

I was joking lol
Also contracted until 2024

Do you mean Bruce Reid?
Pat Cummins is another - he had back issues early on.
