AFL commentators believe the pendulum has swung so far against Jack Ginnivan umpires are now blatantly refusing to award him free kicks for high tackles.
The tables have turned against AFL livewire Jack Ginnivan and footy greats have slammed the “remarkable” treatment he’s receiving.
Watch every game of every round this Toyota AFL Premiership Season LIVE with no ad-breaks during play on Kayo. New to Kayo?But his tendency to duck into tackles and play for free kicks style rubbed some the wrong way — and he was traded from Collingwood to Hawthorn in the off-season after winning a premiership medal with the Magpies.
“There’s been 11 high tackles paid today, and just by sheer coincidence the two Jack are involved in are a no-call,” King said on Fox Footy.“They have two sets of rules. It’s as simple as that. The guy with the long sleeves gets nothing. Eleven today and none to Jack, I think the case rests.” On Channel 7, commentator Brian Taylor criticised the umpires for ignoring several occasions where Ginnivan was taken high.“I don't think he bent at the knees until he was clearly tackled around the head. I reckon he’s deserved a couple today he hasn’t got.
