Ginnivan may not have been up for the medal but that didn’t seem to bother him as he looked every bit the winner smiling by Mitchell’s side.

While many were curious about his new date, plenty of AFL fans were left with eyebrows raised wondering how he got an invite to the event at all.
Ginnivan was not considered among Hawthorn’s top performers across the season and only six players from each club are invited – supposedly the six with the best chance of taking home the Brownlow medal.
He ended up polling three votes for the season – making him the Hawks’ seventh strongest performer of 2024 in the context of Brownlow voting, just about justifying his appearance.
