Traded Jack Ginnivan [Traded with #39, F2 & F4 to Hawthorn for #33, F2 & F3]

[TradeDraft]

Been done doing Drugs and 4 Game Suspension.

Could be another Stephenson that done something Stupid and Club puts him up for Trade ASAP

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Gives off serious figjam vibes.

But is only young so plenty of time to mature and change his ways. Regardless of whether that is in or out of the AFL system.

 

[adammania9]

Relax, man

 

[AFDogs]

Just unlucky he got caught really. Half the players under the age of 23 are on it.

 

[RUNVS]

Won't be traded and will probably come good but he looks like there is not a lot going on upstairs and he acts like it as well.

As someone wise once said, 'you don't have to be smart to be a good football player'.

If anything I think it makes him more likely to stay at Collingwood. Would be a hard sell to the average member of another club and therefore to the board of most other clubs, particularly those who watch channel 7 or channel 9 news more than they watch Collingwood games.

Yep, footy smarts and actual smarts are two very different things.

Anything goes at Moorabbin.
Start at the top with Lethlean and Lyon then just work your way down through Crouch etc …

That only works if they acquire the player before the problem becomes public

 

[Mofra]

The coke issue is not the story, he apparently didn't rock up to pre-season in quite the shape some teammates did.
Can't see the Pies looking to off-load him though. Different scenario to Stephenson who has one serious flaw to his game (body-contact) and is an absolute air-head

 

[Foxman98]

Way to much overanalysing here

He only just turned 20 yet the kid was under an immense amount of pressure from the media and public all last year.

Yes he has made a mistake and needs to quickly learn about professionalism and the standard's he needs to reach and maintain but to suggest Collingwood would be eager to throw him away to the wolves after one bad pre-season is laughable

 

[Jen2310]

HAHAHA

Talk about jumping the gun Dave.

Unlike you

However did De Goey last this long with an attitude like this. Oh, and Swanny too.
The kid is 20. He made a bad decision. They aren't gonna trade him. They love him and they'll support him, to make sure he makes better decisions going forward.

Well you can't make better decisions going backwards

 

[Pendleton10]

lol

 

[hawkman]

Looks like a club would need to have their ducks in a row to manage him. So probably Geelong would be best placed in that regard

 

[The 747]

Unpopular opinion I am sure, but I don't think he has all that much more to his game. What you see is what he has.

Perhaps he will make me look dumb in the years to come.

He’s the complete opposite to your prototype footballer in 2023, which makes Ginnivan an interesting prospect. He’s not the type that is gifted with natural ability, doesn’t standout for kicking, marking or speed etc but does have something a lot of very talented footy players don’t, which is unbelievable footy smarts.

Makes for an interesting career to see where that can take him. He’s very, very clever on the field, and it’s something that can only come naturally, and can’t be taught. If he can show commitment to the craft and work to improving the tangibles in his game, he’ll be a decent AFL footballer.

i agree, reminds me bit of hayden ballantye, not a superstar or a total bum, just a decent player

 

[Elmer_Judd]

Lachie Plowman and a future 3rd round pick in a trade is fair value I reckon.

If he ends up on 250+ goals and an AA blazer, the Pies would’ve done alright with that rookie pick.

Why would we take a downgraded 3rd round future pick.

 

[Roogene]

Under Buckley he would have been gone, he was very short sighted.

McRae will work with him and turn him into a good footballer by levelling him out.

He kicks goals, players who can do that are hard to find. Just ask Carlton, Owies lol.

I dont think we would have seen this Jack under Bucks. He wouldn't have felt he could be himself. But under fly it's different. The kid is only gonna get better.

A 40 goal forward 20 yrs of age. You can only dream...
