Collingwood young gun Jack Ginnivan is slammed for filming giddy celebrations after Pies’ win over St Kilda: ‘Earn some respect before you go carrying on like that’
- Collingwood young gun Jack Ginnivan has been blasted for his celebrations
- The 19-year-old basked in his side’s round one victory over St Kilda on Friday
- Ginnivan said the Saints were ‘light work’ and it was the first of ‘many’ wins
- Port Adelaide legend Kane Cornes was less than impressed with his behaviour
Kane Cornes has blasted Jack Ginnivan and his Collingwood team-mates for ‘carrying on’ after their round one victory over St Kilda.
The Pies got their season off to a strong start on Friday night with Nick Daicos and Jordan de Goey starring in a 17-point win over the Saints at Marvel Stadium.
Ginnivan, 19, gathered 10 disposals during the game and basked in his side’s opening round triumph, taking a club camera and filming his team-mates as they returned to the rooms.

He also labelled St Kilda ‘light work’ and said Friday’s win was ‘the first of many’.
However, Port Adelaide legend Cornes was left unimpressed by the 19-year-old’s behaviour and on Nine’s Sunday Footy Show made his feelings crystal clear.
‘(Collingwood) finished 17th last year. You’ve beaten St Kilda, who no one expects will do anything this year, stop carrying on,’ he said.
‘That’s Jack Ginnivan, you’ve played six games. Just relax. Earn some respect in the game before you go on carrying on like that.
‘If I’m (Adelaide coach) Matthew Nicks, I’m playing Collingwood next week and I’m showing that vision going, ‘who do these guys think they are?’.

And Port Adelaide legend Kane Cornes has criticised the youngster after Friday’s victory
‘You don’t see Geelong carrying on like that. You don’t see Richmond and dynasty teams carry on like that. Earn some respect before you start carrying on like that, saying it was ‘light work’ and ‘the first of many’. There’s a thing about winning in a humble way.’
Ginnivan and his team-mates copped less flak from Cornes’ Sunday Footy Show colleagues, who defended the youngster for his exuberant celebrations.
‘It’s going to be a very long year on this panel if you’re carrying on like that after Round 1,’ AFL reporter Damian Barrett said.
‘What is wrong with it? You just described it as a blockbuster and like a movie set, and that’s part of the movie.
‘I’ve been fortunate enough to be down there over the summer and there is a genuine feeling of the young kids taking the club with them. That’s just a part of it.’
