His 'antics' are over played by the media TBH. And when you compare what he does compared to the average soccer , NFL, NBA player they are very mild.

Looking for sweet 16.....

Same as his “ducking issue” which he doesn’t do any more than a hundred other players in the afl. Media has magnified the attention, nothing more in it

It’s only an issue because the media makes it one

Good article.

We rated him highly and he's showing why.
Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

^ Grew up a Hawks fan.

Had a dirty day today, but I think it can be excused considering the great season he's had thus far.

Young players like Ginnivan will display inconsistent form and performances but will continue to improve with more games and experience. I think he has that X factor which makes him exciting and entertaining. Opposition supporters booing him is testament to how highly he is rated and them wanting to put him off his game.
Don't confuse your current path with your final destination. Just because it's dark and stormy now doesn't meant that you aren't headed for glorious sunshine!

His "antics" are only an issue when he has no influence on a game of footy (such as against the Blues)...

Desperately want this kid to be a 200 gamer for us, but he's (understandably) not the finished product yet.
It's never as good/nor bad as it seems...

Had 9 touches, he averages 10. Those 2 behinds are goals, his tail's up, he probably ends up in the votes.
I'll be having hime to kick 3 in a multi against the hawks.
Don't count the days, make the days count.

Yep he’s got the attitude to bounce back next week. Only question is if Mitchell will send the thugs to play “unsocial” footy.

Spot on.
just because he tries to evade a tackle by getting low, doesn't mean you can grab him around the neck! It's not like his driving his head down, or flopping.
Umpires started to turn a blind eye in the last 2 quarters.

Did anyone else see the Hawks player giving Ginni a few cheeky punches under the pack, I think in the 3rd or 4th.
I expect a week at least.

i think if you watch the 10 seconds before that, Ginnivin might have dropped an elbow on the hawthorn guy too and they just came in to remonstrate. Thought it was just part of the game to be honest.

i love the way Ginni doesnt give a shit about the attention. seems to love it.
