No he died in the finals, lowest rated player on the ground in both finals as a sub averaging 5 disposals and no goals, GF 7 disposals no goals.

Final Home and Away game is the one I'd be showing Hawthorn (albeit against weak opposition) 3 goals and highest rated player on the ground. But for a big time player he was a complete finals flop and the goals have dried up ever since the free kicks stopped.


OK, but Curnow had a terrible Finals campaign, and I dont see the Blues trading HIM out. :? :o

The Club still has not said a word have they ? If Hawthorn have SFA to give us, then ****, up em, we aint a bloody charity, stuff em, tell em to piss off. Hes a contracted player. OUR player, we hold the cards not him,not his friggin management. I wish his best mate at the Club, Nick, whose round his age, would ring the silly little fool up, and try to talk sense into him, like, if Jamie retires, forced out by injury, if Bobby gets injured, he will get games, look at Frampton, injury gifted him a Premiership medal. !

If his prelim was bad (3 kicks, no tackles, no goals) he at least had the Sub excuse.

Grand Final: 7 disposals, no tackles, no goals.

He got found out in the finals, he's crafty but slow as treacle and that will never suit our game style or September intensity.

MY final say, if the piss and shit want him, then ante up you thug pricks, you nearly crippled Nick Daicos, we do YOU no favours, assholes. We want decetn good compensatiion, not this shit penny andy crap you have. If the dont have it, or cannot give it, then stuff em, they can piss off. Hes our player, contracted, we hold the cards here, not him, we dont give him up for jack shit. Jeez we cant beat Hawks anyway, best of times, bogey team, even lost to em this season, AGAIN, and WTF, we are going to make em stronger ??? No, keep him, and he knuckles down, does his best, see how he is at end of next season, then decide.

yeah im sorry! (and i was one who wanted him sacked!)

but Ginnie will never be fit to tie JDGs shoelaces!!

As much as I love him, a big part of his game was indeed the selwood-slip! Yes he does have a few other skills but nothing other players can't cover. Hes kicked some beautiful goals, but nothing to compare with Jamie.

more importantly, JDG realised he stuffed up, owned it, stared down the demons and got his shit together. Ginnie has chosen to walk away. Was he told hes on shaky ground? maybe, but he still could have chosen to fight out the remainder of his contract.

above all, im pissed because i just want to spend summer in a state of euphoria! now this shit!

My poor old sheep Ginnie died in my arms a few weeks back, and he's rolling in his grave!

Once again, genuine star that gets you over the line when Brisbane hits the front with 5 mins left in the GF

versus a guy that couldn't lay a tackle or kick a goal in September, you can't compare them.

I was happy to keep him and hoped he'd stay but if he wants out, do the deal. Don't want him now, his heart's at hawthorn

Fly and Mrs Fly, and Jacqui, were huge in getting Jordy in a better place. You can only help people who want to be helped.

And geez, if the rumour is true Ginni could face criminal charges if the other party wants to pursue it.
