Hawthorn star Jack Ginnivan said he could not leave his 'elite' lifestyle to move to the incoming Tasmania AFL team, drawing a mocking response from the club on social media.

Hawthorn star Jack Ginnivan rejected the prospect of joining Tasmania's new AFL team, saying he could not leave his 'elite' lifestyle. The 23-year-old's remark drew a sharp criticism from the club, who mocked him on social media.

When asked by 7AFL expert Kane Cornes if he would consider a move to Tasmania, Ginnivan said: 'To be honest, I don't think I could live in Tassie.' He expressed his commitment to Hawthorn instead, saying he was 'keen to stay a Hawk for a long time'.

Ginnivan is out of contract at the end of next year and would loom as a potential target for the Devils as they prepare for their debut season in 2028. He has developed into a star for the Hawks over three seasons since joining from Collingwood after winning the 2023 premiership, barely missing a game.
