The cameraman and the \u2018call me\u2019<\/p>\n
During Saturday\u2019s elimination final against GWS, Ginnivan snapped a goal and celebrated by pointing his finger towards his forehead while teammate Changkuoth Jiath pretended to snap a picture.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe just has a point with the cameraman to say \u2018This is me, click, click\u2019,\u201d commentators declared.<\/p>\n
The duo has numerous other joint celebrations, including a handshake and bow celebration inspired by NBA superstar LeBron James.<\/p>\n

Moments earlier, Ginnivan had celebrated another goal with a cheeky \u201ccall me\u201d gesture, fulfilling an earlier promise made on Nine\u2019s Players show, when he had said he would reenact former Port Adelaide star Warren Tredrea\u2019s famous call-me gesture.<\/p>\n
The Telstra celebration<\/p>\n
After booting the opening goal against Carlton earlier this year, Ginnivan confused commentators with an unusual celebration \u2013 leaning back and waving his arms up and down before flashing a grin.<\/p>\n
For the uninitiated, Ginnivan was referencing Telstra\u2019s infamous Wherever we go jingle, which was publicly voted in July as Australia\u2019s most unforgettable advert.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n The ad features a whistling man\u2019s laid-back, slow strut and shoulder lean \u2013 inspired by Mick Jagger \u2013 and has quickly become a meme across social media channels.<\/p>\n The tummy rub<\/p>\n During last weekend\u2019s elimination final against GWS, Ginnivan circled his hands over his stomach after booting a goal.<\/p>\n According to teammate Mabior Chol, the gesture was a reference for ex-Bomber Michael Hibberd and his, well, stomach.<\/p>\n Hawthorn\u2019s Jack Ginnivan celebrates one of his goals in the elimination final against GWS.Credit: Channel Seven<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s a little gag that he had with Michael Hibberd,\u201d Chol told this masthead.<\/p>\n \u201cThey have got a little group chat going and on and he asked him to do that because he has a bit of a belly going on at the moment; that is Ginny.<\/p>\n \u201cHis \u2018cellys\u2019 have been good, but his footy is actually doing the talking more this year.<\/p>\n \u201cCredit to him, if he can keep playing [footy] that way I think \u2018Mitch\u2019 [coach Sam Mitchell] is happy for him to do whatever celebration he wants.\u201d<\/p>\n The plane<\/p>\n If you\u2019re unfamiliar with the aeroplane-lore between Jack Ginnivan and now departed Port Adelaide coach Ken Hinkley, here\u2019s quick rundown:<\/p>\n The duo made headlines during last year\u2019s semi-final between Port and the Hawks. Before the game, Ginnivan posted an Instagram comment implying Hawthorn would beat Port and fly to Sydney the following week to face the Swans. Hawthorn ended up losing the game and Hinkley raised his arms to mimic an aeroplane.<\/a><\/p>\n The veteran coach was slapped with a $20,000 fine for conduct unbecoming. Fast-forward to July 2025, Ginnivan snapped a goal and then raised his arms for a cheeky aeroplane-style goal celebration.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n Jack Ginnivan\u2019s aeroplane celebration.Credit: Fox Footy<\/p>\n Fox Footy cameras panned immediately to Port coach Ken Hinkley, who offered a wry smile and even a chuckle.<\/p>\n Cracking a cold one<\/p>\n Ginnivan\u2019s pre-final controversies haven\u2019t been limited to his time at Collingwood. He turned heads again last year when he was spotted at a Richmond pub<\/a>, less than 24 hours before the Hawks were set to face the Western Bulldogs in an elimination final at the MCG.<\/p>\n Hawthorn coach Sam Mitchell said he had no \u201cno issues\u201d with Ginnivan\u2019s pub visit, however the young gun copped criticism from many including former player turned commentator Kane Cornes.<\/p>\n \u201cThe Jack Ginnivan thing fascinates me. I don\u2019t know why he would put himself in that position and cause a distraction,\u201d Cornes told SEN.<\/p>\n Jack Ginnivan pulls out a cheeky goal celebration.Credit: Channel Seven<\/p>\n In response to his critics, Ginnivan mimed cracking open a can of beer as he celebrated a goal during the final quarter.<\/p>\n That one was easy to interpret, but some of Ginnivan\u2019s celebrations remain a mystery \u2013 for example, this masthead\u2019s investigators were stumped by his effort below, so any answers are welcome in the comments.<\/p>\n One of Jack Ginnivan many goal celebrations.Credit: AFL<\/p>\n But one thing is certain \u2013 he\u2019ll always come up with something.<\/p>\n With Peter Ryan <\/p>\n![\"Hawthorn\u2019s](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/811519c8dfbaf452c5dcd7932d7fa67ad05e79495a35e744ea9cb2b4f3ffd133.gif\")
