Where did you find that info? I might go and check it to see what his free kick breakdown was.

I looked on Footywire.

Ginnivan named in the extended team for the St Kilda match.

Excellent.

Play Ginnivan and give Ross Lyon a taste of his own Tip Rat.

It was a bit more feast or famine in the second half of the year.

Ginni went goalless just once in the first 15 games. But he went goalless 3 times over the last 8 games.

Also, he kicked either 0, 1 or 3 goals in that eight games. So he kicked 9 goals in 3 games, but just 2 goals in 5 games.

That's why he appeared to have a quiet second half of the year.

And on Jacks defence, there was more than a couple of free kicks he definitely should have got, he was flattened, thumped and molested, strangled and abused and zip. He wasn’t
Laying for frees on every occasion. And even if he was, while damn duckwood was getting them, Jack should have been too.

Jack is back, set to cause mayhem with Jamie and Bobby, a friggin Saints nightmare. LOL LOL

The Ginni Pig.

The sophisticated version of a Tip Rat.

I have a ginni sheep! Well a sheep named Ginni!

I'm old enough to remember our currency including guineas.

Ginni really showed us yesterday why last year was a one off. He has ZERO pace so unless it's an instinctive quick snap or free kick he looks all lost at sea. His 1%'ers and trying to hold off players whilst team mates get the ball are valuable, but you aren't going to get a game for that.

Once we get some talls back I think Ginni will be back to the reserves... unless Bobby Hill has a huge form slump.

Class will out.

Ginni has it in spades.

I disagree. He may not be quick but he has footy smarts you can't teach. He's a natural forward and will always be a threat given half a chance.

On the money Stui Ginni has footy smarts not many possess.

I thought yesterdays game showed that, again, the boy is a very smart footballer.

He was working hard, up and back and consistently putting himself in great positions, and he's not trying to do it all himself, it might be a little block or tap to advantage a team mate. You can't measure this guy on the stats sheet, integral part of the team.
