Going even further back, he was a ruckman at the Cats and St Kilda, where he played 240 games over 15 years.<\/p>\n
Geelong football manager Andrew Mackie said the club was excited to welcome King back to the Cattery.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re excited to add Steven to our coaching staff. He returns to the club with a strong coaching resume and we\u2019re happy he sees his next coaching opportunity with the club,\u201d said Mackie.<\/p>\n
\u201cSteven is passionate about developing players and his knowledge and experience will further benefit our playing group.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re looking forward to seeing the impact Steven can have on our football department and welcome him and his family back to Geelong.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u2018A lot to prove\u2019: What would Ginnivan be worth?<\/h2>\n Former Adelaide player Josh Jenkins suggested Jack Ginnivan would be worth around pick 33, which former GWS captain Phil Davis hit down.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt seems a bit high to be fair,\u201d said Davis in response on Trade Radio.<\/p>\n
\u201cI feel like he\u2019s more of a 40-50 kind of player.\u201d<\/p>\n
So, worth a late second- or early third-round draft pick.<\/p>\n
Let us know what you think in the comments!<\/p>\n
Watch the clip here:<\/p>\n
Is Ginnivan open to a trade?<\/h2>\n Jack Ginnivan has not requested a trade, according to a well-placed source familiar with the situation.<\/p>\n
Ginnivan\u2019s emergence as a trade target and the hold-up on a four-club deal look set to push a number of other deals into deadline day.<\/p>\n
The Hawks have added Pie Ginnivan to their trade wishlist, along with Mabior Chol and Massimo D\u2019Ambrosio, while Jack Gunston could also be a Hawk again.<\/p>\n

The original hope was that trade would be done yesterday, but there has still not been a deal agreed upon.<\/p>\n
Richmond (Jacob Koschitzke) and Port Adelaide (Brandon Zerk-Thatcher and Jordon Sweet) are among the clubs in the trade queue, while Gold Coast (Elijah Hollands and Mabior Chol) have players who want to depart.<\/p>\n
Hawthorn and the Power, who are yet to broker a deal for Geelong\u2019s Esava Ratugolea and still trying to prise Ivan Soldo from Richmond, loom as the busiest clubs before the trade period ends at 7.30pm on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
Ginnivan \u2018locked in\u2019 – but where?<\/h2>\n As the reports flood in that Collingwood premiership player Jack Ginnivan has been in talks with the Hawks about a potential trade, the small forward posted \u201clocked in\u201d to his Instagram story.<\/p>\n
Then, promptly deleted it. But eagle-eyed fans caught it.<\/p>\n
Locked in where exactly, Jack?<\/p>\n
A look at the Hawks\u2019 list<\/h2>\n Hawthorn finished 16th last season with seven wins and 16 losses. <\/p>\n
While that might seem like a big \u201couch\u201d on paper, the side, which is knee-deep in a rebuild, showed a lot of promise, especially regarding its youngsters. <\/p>\n
Now, as just reported, the club are in talks with Collingwood\u2019s livewire small forward Jack Ginnivan, who recently became a premiership player.<\/p>\n

\nThe Hawks need quality tall timber at both ends, after missing out on Ben McKay and Esava Ratugolea. Expect them to go hard for a key forward next year, and maybe even this October. Maybe.<\/li>\n Massimo D\u2019Ambrosio, who requested a trade to Hawthorn from Essendon, is a speedy utility who will add more depth to the list.<\/li>\n A classy small forward to work alongside, then eventually succeed Luke Breust, especially with Brockman on the way out.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nEssendon to appeal Prespakis suspension<\/h2>\n Essendon have confirmed they will appeal the one-match ban handed down to star midfielder Maddy Prespakis for a dangerous tackle on Richmond\u2019s Sarah Hosking. <\/p>\n
Prespakis was done for careless conduct, medium impact and high contact. You can see the vision below, thanks to AFL Women\u2019s:<\/p>\n
The decision will be determined at Tuesday evening\u2019s tribunal.<\/p>\n
The tribunal will also determine the outcome for the Adelaide Crows\u2019 Najwa Allen, who\u2019s bump on the Western Bulldogs\u2019 Kirsten McLeod went straight to the tribunal. <\/p>\n
Ginnivan in talks with Hawks<\/h2>\n Well, looks like we\u2019re getting a late trade twist after all.<\/p>\n
Collingwood livewire and premiership player Jack Ginnivan has been in discussions with Hawthorn, who are interested in acquiring the small forward.<\/p>\n
Ginnivan is contracted for next year at the Magpies.<\/p>\n
Hawthorn are interested but whether a deal can get done will be dependent on the terms. They are still working to get Massimo D\u2019Ambrosio, Mabior Chol and Jack Gunston all in the door.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Jack Ginnivan.<\/span>Credit: <\/span>Getty<\/cite><\/p>\nJust yesterday, Collingwood footy boss Graham Wright said Ginnivan will not be traded, despite the club picking up small forward Lachie Schultz from Fremantle.<\/p>\n
\u201cI haven\u2019t taken any calls about that [trading Ginnivan]. We haven\u2019t sought to take calls either,\u201d Wright told AFL Trade Radio on Monday.<\/p>\n
\u201cFrom our perspective, it hasn\u2019t been an issue at all. We see Jack as a part of what we\u2019re doing, he\u2019s contracted for next year and we haven\u2019t taken any calls at all.\u201d<\/p>\n
Schultz, another small forward, will add pressure to Ginnivan\u2019s spot in the side as the Pies now have a mosquito fleet, including Norm Smith medallist Bobby Hill, Beau McCreery and Jamie Elliott.<\/p>\n
Ginnivan managed just 14 senior games this year, including five as the sub. The season prior, he was one of the club\u2019s main goalkickers with 40 majors.<\/p>\n
Zerk-Thatcher could head to the draft<\/h2>\n Port Adelaide football boss Chris Davies has said if a deal isn\u2019t done with Essendon by trade deadline \u2013 tomorrow evening \u2013 for Brandon Zerk-Thatcher, the defender could be heading to the draft,<\/p>\n
\u201cZerk-Thatcher wants to come home for some family reasons, he desperately wants to come back to Adelaide,\u201d Davies said on Trade Radio.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf we can\u2019t find a deal in the next period of time, the drafts become a live option. We will have to look at every option we have at our disposal.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe won\u2019t put a timeline on things. The way it\u2019s all structured now, we can wait until the last hour to make a decision. Unless something blows us out of the water we\u2019ll take as much time as we need,\u201d O\u2019Brien said on Trade Radio.<\/p>\n
