Jack Ginnivan caught on camera giving the bird to Crows fans.
Jack Ginnivan responded to a video of him flipping the bird.
Ginnivan would join the likes of Geelong's Bailey Smith and West Coast's Harley Reid in getting fined for the middle-finger salute in 2025.
'There was definitely a one-fingered salute from Jack Ginnivan,' Herald Sun reporter Jon Ralph said on Fox Footy.
'I think we call that the Bailey Smith ... the going rate is $1000, we saw Bailey Smith double-finger salute and also Harley Reid earlier in the year.
'That's what (Ginnivan) does, that's Hok-ball for you.'
Ginnivan was among Hawthorn's best players on Friday night, finishing with 20 disposals and two goals.
The youngster's post-game bird weren't his only cheeky antics on the night, with Ginnivan turning to the crowd after kicking an epic goal on his left foot late in the third quarter and pointing to his ear.

Maroons, Raiders legend Sam Backo dies
Australian, Queensland and Canberra rugby league legend Sam Backo has died, aged 64. A proud Warrgamay Indigenous man, he played seven State of Origin matches for the Maroons, six Tests for Australia, 116 matches for the Canberra Raiders and 20 for the Brisbane Broncos between 1983 and 1990 in a storied career. NRL identities have paid tribute, including former Maroons captain Wally Lewis and Australian Rugby League Commission chairman Peter V'landys. 'It is with great sadness that I learned this afternoon of the passing of a great mate – Sam Backo,' Lewis wrote on Facebook. 'It was a privilege to play beside Sam, and to have him as a mate. I am very grateful [former Maroon and Bronco] Gene Miles and I got to visit Sam 10 days ago in hospital and have a few laughs with him. 'RIP Sam, you will greatly missed. My deepest sympathies to your loving wife Chrissie and family.' V'Landys said Backo 'was as tough as they come, a larger-than-life character who was as recognisable as he was resilient'. 'Through a successful career with Canberra Raiders, Brisbane Broncos, not to mention Queensland and Australia, he was a one-of-a-kind footballer.

Anna Hay: Good, bad, ugly as coaches under the pump in round 21
GOOD: CHESSER'S CHANCE Campbell Chesser's first AFL game of the season was far more than just a return from injury — it was a high stakes audition for his playing future. The out-of-contract midfielder was the Eagles' top draft selection at pick 14 in 2021; but injuries have meant his career has been defined more by his potential than his performance. His return against the Demons was his chance to break the cycle and he grabbed the opportunity with both hands. In a dark and disappointing day for West Coast, Chesser was a shining light. His run and carry were a constant feature of his game, finishing with 17 disposals and a goal. For the first time in a really long time, Chesser looked like the player the Eagles drafted and we saw some flashes of the young Victorian they believed in. He was composed and ready to make an impact. Let's hope this was a just a sneak peek of a long and successful career for Chesser in blue and gold. BAD: PLAYER PRIVACY Carlton coach Michael Voss was completely justified in his disappointment over Collingwood coach Craig McRae's public admission about meeting with out-of-contract Blue Jack Silvagni. While McRae wouldn't have meant any harm, his casual remark about the coffee date created a challenging situation for Silvagni to navigate. Voss made the point in his press conference on Saturday afternoon. It's not the coaches that have to walk back into the locker room and face their teammates, it's the player. West Aussies know this story all too well. We saw the fallout after Oscar Allen had coffee with Hawthorn coach Sam Mitchell. Allen was thrust into the spotlight, scrutinised for his loyalty and commitment to the club he co-captains. McRae's public name drop could also have frustrated out-of-contract Pies stars Brody Mihocek, Jamie Elliot, Darcy Cameron and Jeremy Howe, whose contract talks have come to a standstill, while the club publicly pursues Silvagni. UGLY: EAGLES INNER DEMONS It's fair to wonder just how low the Eagles can go this season. You've probably caught yourself thinking, where is rock bottom for West Coast? Have they reached it yet or is there further to fall? On Saturday, the club claimed its second wooden spoon in three years, following the 83-point thumping to Melbourne. Eagles coach Andrew McQualter said post-match the football club isn't tough enough and it's something they can't accept. It will be interesting to see how they respond in the final three rounds of the season, when they face top-of-the-table Adelaide, the Western Bulldogs and Sydney. These games will be a test of character. If you're a glass half full sort of person, well, that number one pick will be the Eagles in the upcoming draft. A golden ticket to a brighter future.
