He got the ok to go from CEO Craig Kelly apparently.

Kelly was never going to say anything else when interviewed a couple of hours before the game
Not a Michael Jordan fan i take it?
Legend has it is that MJ is a vampire which is why he could get away with playing cards until the early hours of the morning on the day of a big playoff game. He also used to do things like play a couple of rounds of golf before and after games too when he should've been resting up.

I can't stand horse racing, but if this is what Ginni enjoys doing in his free time, and he wasn't drinking, and he wasn't out late, then who really cares?
Some players may have stayed home filling themselves with anxiety the day before the big game. If this was his coping mechanism and he didn't do anything silly then good on him.

If Ginnivan, or any player, becomes the equivalent of MJ for us, then they can do what they want before games.

Well I suppose the rationale is that they are resting up (mentally) by doing what they do pre-game. Would definitely work for some but maybe not all.
You'd want to be pretty bloody relaxed after playing 36 holes of golf
Have faith. I see 3 gf wins in a row, a quick hit in cricket and then a comeback for another 3 gf wins coming soon j2s
I don't think it's a good idea for an athlete to be around crowds and drunkards the night before the biggest game of his life. Neither did McRae, a guy who has been part of 7 AFL premierships, what would he know!

Perfect time to do it. He's been in our bests in the preseason games and round 1. Meanwhile Collingwood haven't had two losses that bad in a row for a couple years.‘I don’t really care that much’: Ginnivan unleashes Manchester United move amid Pie talk

I’m actually most impressed with how hard he is working up the ground.
He’s getting some pretty high disposal numbers for a forward pocket along with kicking goals.
As Kenny Bania would say

The on-field lightning rod was at his destructive best, delivering a successful left-foot snap among his nine disposals in the first term, complete with a theatrical point-to-the-head celebration when facing the crowd, reprising that of star Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford.
“He has done that. I am trying to get a photo up,” Ginnivan said post-match.
Rashford regularly raises a finger to his temple as a sign of the clearer headspace he has under United manager Erik ten Hag.
“I feel like I’ve gone all in on myself and tried to improve. I feel like I am fitter. I am still adapting to the new system, the way we play. We play a very fast tempo,” Ginnivan said.
Asked if he will continue with that celebration, Ginnivan responded: “A one-off – a new celebration every goal, hopefully.”
The celebration came after many Essendon fans jeered him whenever he touched the ball, an issue which plagued him at Collingwood. Ginnivan said the crowd reaction didn’t have a great impact.
“It doesn’t really faze me any more. Seventy-three thousand – I have played in front of 100,000. I sort of block the noise out, and it doesn’t really affect me that much. I have a great fan base behind me in the brown and gold, so I am loving that,” he said.
