Jack Ginnivan move backfires on Collingwood as eye-opening AFL numbers come to light

The Magpies’ decision to part ways with Ginnivan hasn’t exactly worked out.

Damning statistics from the 2023 AFL season have highlighted how Collingwood’s decision to trade away Jack Ginnivan and get Lachie Schultz has backfired. The Magpies decided to part ways with Ginnivan at the end of last season, sending him to Hawthorn.

To fill the void, Collingwood sent pick 34 plus their future first-round pick to Fremantle in exchange for Schultz. But with the Magpies languishing in 12th place on the AFL ladder heading into Round 18, the trade appears to have blown up in their faces.

As it stands, the Dockers would get pick No.7 in this year’s draft – a much higher spot than many would have expected at the time of the trade. And the numbers that Schultz has produced haven’t really vindicated sending Ginnivan to the Hawks either.

This season, Schultz is averaging 11.3 disposals per game, 1.5 marks inside 50, 1.3 goals, 0.5 score assists, 4.8 score involvements, 3.87 tackles and 18.1 pressure acts. Ginnivan is ahead in most of those categories, with 16 disposals, 1.3 marks inside 50, 1.1 goals, 5.5 score involvements, 2.53 tackles and 15.5 pressure acts.
