But you look at it six months down the track, you go, well this has been a disaster really. And they let Ginnivan go. Ginnivan’s about to turn 22 at the end of the year, Schultz is going to be 27, and Ginnivan is producing far greater impact in pretty much every stat … he’s been a far more impactful player.”

Collingwood received pick 33 plus future second and third-round picks from Hawthorn, while the Hawks got Ginnivan, pick 39 and future second and fourth-round picks. But because the Magpies have slid down the ladder they are currently worse off with their picks compared to when they still had Ginnivan.

“The most concerning thing is you gave away pick 7 as it sits right now. That’s what we’ve got to go on, and they’ve got a tough draw and all of that,” Cornes said. “So you’ve traded your future first for a player who is basically delivering what you had with another player, who you gave away for pretty much nothing, and you’ve also given away that great pick inside the top 10 as it sits – which they desperately need.”
