Latest News About Jack Ginnivan

Here’s the latest on Jack Ginnivan based on recent reports I can access.

• Injury setback ahead of season: Ginnivan fractured a finger during a pre-season match simulation, with scans confirming a minor finger fracture. The Hawks expected him to miss a few weeks of pre-season but to be fully fit for Opening Round against Greater Western Sydney. This news came from Hawthorn’s club medical briefing in February 2026.

• Trade history context: Ginnivan previously moved from Collingwood to Hawthorn in October 2023, in a trade that included multiple picks. He joined Hawthorn as part of their post-2023 recruitment, arriving with a premiership credential from 2023 and still young enough to develop further at Hawthorn.
