'Look at me, look at me': Jack Ginnivan warned larrikin antics 'can only go so far'
Caroline Wilson has admitted she's "not buying" Hawthorn's support of young forward Jack Ginnivan, following further social media antics on Monday.
Ginnivan took to Instagram to comment on former Collingwood teammate Brodie Grundy's most recent post.
Now-Swans ruckman Grundy, whose side came from 28 points down to defeat cross-town rivals GWS and book their spot in a home preliminary final, posted a series of selfies with teammates post match.

He captioned the upload, "Post game snaps // Finals Edition", after their six-point victory.
Ginnivan replied to the post with a short comment, stating, "see u in 14 days".

It's a nod that Ginnivan believes his side will overcome Port Adelaide in their semi-final clash at Adelaide Oval on Friday night, to reach that preliminary final against Sydney.
It follows Ginnivan's actions on the night before Hawthorn's 37-point win over the Western Bulldogs in their elimination final.

Ginnivan was spotted at Richmond pub, the London Tavern on the Thursday night, before taking to the MCG 24 hours later.
After his night at the pub, Ginnivan then took to his X account to share a picture of his bedside table, with a cup of tea and candle lit.

The next morning, he took to his X account again to share a tweet, stating, "just gone for a walk", alongside a breaking news image.
Wilson is concerned that his comment on Grundy's Instagram may be a step too far over the line.
It comes after Hawks coach Sam Mitchell defended Ginnivan's decision to go to the pub before the elimination final.
"I'm not buying the Sam Mitchell comments. Let's just see what goes on. 'Look at me, look at me', can only go so far," Wilson said on Nine's Footy Classified on Monday night.

Wilson also expressed her concerns that Ginnivan was out in a public where alcohol was present, putting himself in a vulnerable position.
"You might get jittery sitting home alone and you might need to get out. But do you go to one of the biggest pubs in Melbourne on the night before?" she asked.
"What if someone drunk had come up to him and belted him? That's what happens at pubs in Richmond sometimes."
Kane Cornes agreed that Ginnivan's Monday comment on Grundy's social media may come back to haunt him, if he doesn't play well on Friday night.
"To double down with that and suggest that you're going to walk through to a prelim final - and they may well do that and he may well play well - he'd want to play well on Friday night," Cornes said.
