AFL: Jack Ginnivan says it's a 'dream come true' to wear the Hawthorn colours, as he joined his new club.
Though the forward was assured by the Suns his trade to Hawthorn would eventually go through, it wasn’t rubber stamped until 20 minutes before Wednesday’s deadline.
“He was pretty cool and collected, but when Tuesday came around and things weren’t really moving and the Jack Ginnivan trade came up, he started stressing out a bit,” Blair said. After leading the Suns’ goalkicking with 44 majors in 2022, Chol fell out of favour this year — playing only eight AFL games — following Ben King’s return from injury and Jack Lukosius’ permanent move forward.
A pitch selling the club’s holistic direction that included Sam Mitchell, list manager Mark McKenzie, football boss Rob McCartney and high performance manager Peter Burge, who previously worked at Richmond when Chol was there, got Hawthorn over the line.And so the 61-gamer gets a fresh start back in Victoria at the Hawks under Sam Mitchell in one of the most promising budding teams in the competition.
“The culture and environment they’re trying to have. Also the coaches and the way they communicate, a bit more open and more feedback — the door is always open.” A 5.4 goalkicking performance in Gold Coast’s VFL preliminary final win over Box Hill, with Sam Mitchell in attendance, clearly would’ve made an impression on his new club.“It was difficult for him because he just didn’t know where he fitted in and wasn’t getting that communication,” Blair said of Chol’s 2023 season.
