AFL 2025: Jack Ginnivan pulls finger at Adelaide fans, video, fine, after Hawthorn's loss to Adelaide, latest news
Hawthorn young gun Jack Ginnivan is the latest AFL player set to be sanctioned for giving the bird to Adelaide supporters.
Ginnivan was caught on camera pulling his finger to Crows fans while walking off Adelaide Oval after the Hawks' 14-point loss on Friday night.
The 22-year old, who's set to cop a $1000 fine for the incident, took to Instagram to respond to a video of the act with the comment: 'Best coin spent.'

Jack Ginnivan responded to a video of him flipping the bird.
Ginnivan would join the likes of Geelong's Bailey Smith and West Coast's Harley Reid in getting fined for the middle-finger salute in 2025.
'There was definitely a one-fingered salute from Jack Ginnivan,' Herald Sun reporter Jon Ralph said on Fox Footy.
'I think we call that the Bailey Smith ... the going rate is $1000, we saw Bailey Smith double-finger salute and also Harley Reid earlier in the year.
'That's what (Ginnivan) does, that's Hok-ball for you.'
Ginnivan was among Hawthorn's best players on Friday night, finishing with 20 disposals and two goals.
The youngster's post-game bird weren't his only cheeky antics on the night, with Ginnivan turning to the crowd after kicking an epic goal on his left foot late in the third quarter and pointing to his ear.

Xavier Ellis: Hayden Young injury takes shine of Fremantle Dockers' show of hard-earned maturity
What I liked … At half-time the Blues to be fair were by far the harder, tougher and more finals like team. The Dockers managed to adapt to the situation and make the needed changes on the run. They were handball happy. Over handballing is anything but finals like football. An adjustment from handballing to kicking quickly became overwhelming for the Blues defence. Amassing 11 second half goals and a finals brand of footy. What I didn't like … The balancing act of Hayden Young. Unfortunately, the young star has seen the highs and lows of AFL football within a week. Derby medallist to subbed at quarter-time. Whilst playing at Hawthorn players like Luke Hodge, Sean Burgoyne and Cyril Rioli all spent time in the State league to prepare properly for the rigours of AFL. Young managed 28 per cent game time against Collingwood, 57 per cent against West Coast and was subbed out after just eight per cent on Sunday. Will they get another chance with Young this season? I hope so, but it might be a slow cautious build. What would I like to see? Tag Zak Butters, he is a star of the competition when unmarked, with a tag he has been dormant in games. Remove their best player and they'll win the game. What I liked … Really scrapping the bottom of the barrel, but the performances of the two mid-season draft selections are certainly holding their own. Maric and McCarthy had handy games. More and more with 19 and 20 teams entering the competition, these mid-season older players will be important as the draft as talent will be very thin. What I didn't like … Former captain Shannon Hurn would use the phrase 'swim between the flags'. Simply put, know your limitations and play within them. Some of the Eagles players have a misunderstanding of their abilities and they shoot themselves in the foot most weeks. I love daring football and mistakes happen, but these are uncoachable mistakes the Eagles are making. What I would like to see … Players careers are on the line and players like Campbell Chesser are fighting for a list position. Another solid performance will go a long way to an extension. Eagles players have been bizarrely gifted multiple year contracts, 1 year and game incentives is more than enough.

Hawks' Sicily looms as big threat for wounded Magpies
James Sicily's return to form looms as a massive factor for Hawthorn in the Thursday night AFL blockbuster against Collingwood. AFL commentator and former Magpies coach Nathan Buckley noted Harris Andrews was a major headache for Collingwood last Saturday night as the star Brisbane defender repeatedly thwarted their long kicks into attack. Sicily can have a similar impact to Andrews at the MCG. The loss to Brisbane cost Collingwood top spot and they only have one win from their last four games. "They just couldn't score off their long-down-the-lines (kicks). They usually score two in three. Harris Andrews absolutely controlled that aspect of the game," Buckley told Fox Footy's On The Couch. "If you have a player who can control that aspect against Collingwood, you're going to be well-and-truly in the match." Despite Collingwood's form wobble, Buckley remained optimistic about their prospects. "This Thursday night becomes crucial. The 'Pies will look pretty good in the next two weeks - I didn't pick them on the weekend," Buckley said. "The double chance is really important. I didn't have them out as far in front as everyone said and I don't have them that far back at the moment, either." Buckley added key defender Jeremy Howe had been a key absentee for the Magpies. He has been sidelined since round 19 with a groin injury. Howe and fellow backman Billy Frampton (calf) could return against the Hawks. "Howe is the one, for me ... his leadership and his control of that back six is crucial," Buckley said. "He's leading Darcy Moore in positioning. He gets across and closes off and shuts down a dangerous situation ... time for the cavalry to get back, re-set." Earlier on Monday, Buckley said Howe was the "glue" that held the backline together. "Darcy Moore is the captain, but he is not the glue of the back six," Buckley told SEN. "In fact, without Jeremy Howe I think Darcy Moore is 75 per cent of the player that he has become."

Hawks' Sicily looms as big threat for wounded Magpies
James Sicily's return to form looms as a massive factor for Hawthorn in the Thursday night AFL blockbuster against Collingwood. While the Hawks lost to Adelaide last Friday night and Will Day is out for the season with a foot injury, Sicily took seven intercept marks against the Crows to continue his resurgence.
