Should I trade Jack Ginnivan?
Form, breakeven, and a comparable replacement weighed up.
Jack Ginnivan (HAW) flagged as a trade-out alongside Clark, with owner seeking community suggestions for trade-in replacements at R09.
Ginnivan publicly stated "I got carried to that flag. I was very lucky," acknowledging his poor 2023 GF performance. Community reads this as evidence of genuine maturity and self-awareness, contrasting with his attitude during his Collingwood years.
Ginnivan recorded 10 score involvements and 5 direct assists in his most recent game per community reporting. Multiple commenters cite his footy IQ as elite for a small forward and note he is all over AFL highlights. Community sentiment is that he has completed a maturity and form arc.
Jack Ginnivan rated near-best-on-ground across back-to-back games. Multiple reviews cite 28 disposals, 10 score involvements, 5 goal assists vs Bulldogs and elite two-goal-saving defensive efforts vs Cats. Community consensus: All Australian form, top 3 at Hawthorn on current form.
Community strongly agrees that Ginnivan thrives in Hawthorn's free-flowing system and would not be the player he is today under Collingwood's rigid structure and roles. His development at HAW is attributed to positional freedom, not just maturity.
Ginnivan is playing as a link-up connector at Hawthorn rather than the pressure small-forward role he had at Collingwood. Multiple commenters note he drifts up the ground, plays on the outside, and acts as a ball-mover rather than a goal-line presence.
Community consensus across a 52-comment thread is that Ginnivan has grown into an important piece at Hawthorn. His ball use is noted as accurate and deliberate, and he has visibly improved since leaving Collingwood — including a notable spoil in the defensive 50 last round.
