Jack Ginnivan (born 9 December 2002) is an Australian rules footballer playing for the Hawthorn Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL). He previously played for the Collingwood Football Club, where he won a premiership in 2023.

Early life and state football

Ginnivan started playing Australian rules football at the age of six, following Hawthorn winning the 2008 AFL Grand Final. As a youth, he played for the Newstead Football Club in the Maryborough Castlemaine District Football League and at the age of 11, kicked his 100th goal for the club.[1] Later, he played junior football for Golden Square and Strathfieldsaye Storm in the Bendigo Football Netball League, helping them win a premiership in 2019.[2] In 2020, Ginnivan played for Bendigo Pioneers in the NAB League and was selected for the Vic Country team.[3] Ginnivan studied at Bendigo Senior Secondary College and grew up supporting Hawthorn.[4]

AFL career

2021: Debut season

Ginnivan was drafted by Collingwood with their first pick of the 2021 rookie draft, which was the 13th pick overall.[5] After kicking 11 goals over three matches in the Victorian Football League (VFL), including several four-goal games,[6] Ginnivan made his AFL debut against Port Adelaide in the nineteenth round of the 2021 AFL season, at Marvel Stadium.[7] He played in the last five games of the season, kicking six goals.[8]

2022: Breakout season

In the 2022 Anzac Day match, in just his tenth career game, Ginnivan kicked five goals and won the Anzac Medal as best on ground,[9] as well as the Rising Star nomination for round 6.[10] As his second season progressed, he quickly became a high-profile and controversial player, after gaining a reputation among media and rival spectators for ducking or shrugging into high tackles to win free kicks,[11] and later admitting to doing so deliberately and even practising the technique in an unusually frank interview.[12]

Ginnivan was booed by rival fans for much of the end of his second season – including an infamous incident when Sydney fans booed him after he had left the game with injury, drawing considerable scorn towards those fans in the media.[13]

2023

In the summer of 2023, Ginnivan was on a training tour with Collingwood in Torquay, where he was caught taking illicit substances in the hotel bathroom.[14] He was given a 2 game ban and missed games against Geelong and Port Adelaide.[15]

Ginnivan played only 14 of the club's 26 games, making his first appearance of the season in round 5 against St Kilda, kicking 1 goal from 13 disposals.[16] He would continue to appear in and out of the side throughout the season, and kicked a total of 12 goals, with a season-high of 3 goals against Essendon in round 24.[17]

Ginnivan played as the substitute for Collingwood's two finals games before earning his spot in the opening 22 for the Grand Final. He found out he would be playing after his dad, Craig, posted about it on Facebook.[18] Ginnivan became a premiership player following Collingwood's win over Brisbane Lions by 4 points, amassing 7 disposals and 1 behind on the day.

Following the Grand Final, Ginnivan requested a trade to Hawthorn, and was traded on 18 October.[19]
