Jack Ginnivan’s dad opens up about his son’s rapid rise to footy fame

Jack Ginnivan’s father says his advice to his son ahead of Saturday’s preliminary final was the same as every other game he’s ever played – enjoy and have fun.

Craig Ginnivan joined Neil Mitchell on Friday to speak about his son’s rapid rise to footy fame.

Craig, a local footy star in his own right, once kicked 129 goals in a season for Newstead.

Jack was quickly hunting that record down one season, cracking the 100-goal milestone in the under-12s!

“I put him in the backline so he wouldn’t beat my record,” Craig said with a laugh.
