Hawthorn<\/a> star Jack Ginnivan<\/a> has been swarmed by cameras and media outlets upon touching down at Adelaide<\/a> airport on Thursday.<\/p>\n

The last time he was in South Australia, he gave Adelaide fans the middle finger on his way off the ground. <\/p>\n

He labelled the gesture in the aftermath the “best coin spent”. He was later fined $1000.<\/p>\n

He was then doorstopped at Adelaide airport by a Seven News reporter, who asked if he was a bad sport.<\/p>\n

Ginnivan called her “embarrassing”, adding “do you think I am going to speak to you?”.<\/p>\n

The interview was widely panned, with both the Hawk and the reporter called out for the awkward exchange. <\/p>\n

Upon returning to that airport on Thursday, Ginnivan marched through with headphones on without saying a word.<\/p>\n

Camera operators and journalists followed him through the airport in large numbers, though the 22-year-old gave them nothing in return. <\/p>\n

The forward will be gearing up for his side’s semi final clash with the Crows and will almost certainly face a hostile reception from the Adelaide Oval crowd.<\/p>\n

It’s the same crowd that was publicly condemned for booing Collingwood defender Isaac Quaynor<\/a> over his links to the Izak Rankine homophobic slur suspension.<\/p>\n

Hawthorn coach Sam Mitchell said on Wednesday that the club was expecting Ginnivan to cop the brunt of the hostility in South Australia.<\/p>\n

“I can’t imagine he’s going to be welcomed with open arms, is he?,” Mitchell told reporters.<\/p>\n

“We’re not concerned about the off-field thing. What’s great about Jack at the moment is everyone’s talking about what he’s doing on the field, he’s been in great form for us.<\/p>\n

“We’ll try and protect him as best we can at the airport after what I’m sure is gonna be a challenging (environment).<\/p>\n

“We’re gonna land and there’s gonna be people there and there’s gonna be people wanting to discuss but we’ve got a game to prepare for and that’ll be our clear focus, and I hope everyone respects that.”<\/p>\n
