Ginnivan to Miss Cats Clash Geelong Cats fans can breathe a collective sigh of relief as Collingwood’s young gun Jack Ginnivan will miss Saturday’s blockbuster clash at the MCG. Ginnivan suffered a hamstring injury in the Magpies’ Round 10 win over Essendon and has been ruled out for at least the next fortnight. The 2022 Rising Star winner has been a key player for Collingwood this season, averaging 18 disposals and kicking 14 goals in nine games. His absence will be a significant blow for the Magpies, who are looking to break a six-game losing streak against the Cats. Geelong will be without Jeremy Cameron for the second consecutive week as the star forward continues to recover from a hamstring injury. However, the Cats are buoyed by the return of star midfielder Patrick Dangerfield, who missed last week’s win over Fremantle with an ankle injury. Dangerfield’s inclusion is a major boost for Geelong, who will also be keen to atone for their disappointing performance in last year’s preliminary final loss to Collingwood. The Cats and Magpies have a long and storied history, with Saturday’s clash set to add another chapter to the rivalry. Geelong will be looking to extend their winning streak over Collingwood to seven games, while the Magpies will be desperate to break their hoodoo and secure a confidence-boosting victory. With both teams likely to be at full strength, Saturday’s clash promises to be a fiercely contested battle between two of the AFL’s most storied clubs.Hawthorn Forward Jack Ginnivan Suffers Hairline FractureHawthorn Forward Jack Ginnivan Suffers Hairline Fracture Hawthorn forward Jack Ginnivan has been withdrawn from the club’s Round 17 squad after suffering a hairline fracture to his fibula. The 21-year-old sustained the injury during the Hawks’ round 16 loss to West Coast. The injury is considered minor, and Hawthorn’s chief medical officer Liam West is confident that Ginnivan will only be sidelined for the short term. “Scans have indicated that Jack suffered a hairline fracture to his leg following an incident last Sunday,” West said. “As the fracture is minor, we are confident that Jack will be back in action in the next rounds.” Ginnivan will be replaced in Hawthorn’s 23-man line-up by Seamus Mitchell for the team’s match against the Cats in Geelong tomorrow.Collingwood star Jack Ginnivan will miss Saturday’s clash against Geelong due to a quad injury.
