Hawthorn livewire Jack Ginnivan has been told to rein it in by coach Sam Mitchell regarding his online breakdowns of AFL plays.
Ginnivan, along with former teammate Tom Mitchell, have dissected and explained football plays on their podcast Ball Magnets, in a bid to provide incredible insight to the fans.
However, it wasn't so well received by the Hawks coach, who said he doesn't need to help the opposition by revealing plays.
We also got to help him toe the line on how much of our plans you actually need to give, Jack," Mitchell said.
"I just tightened his leash a little bit, this morning actually. Make sure he's giving away something to make that fans interested, but not so much that it could help opposition teams beat us.

"He gave me a cheeky smile, and nodded his head like he knows exactly what I'm talking about coach."
Ginnivan and Tom Mitchell have posted five clips on their account examining certain plays.
The premiership Pies' football IQ has been the cornerstone of his playing career to date, and has the Hawthorn forward in line to take up a coaching role one day.
Ginnivan has spent time in the Hawks' coaching box during the pre-season, while he is one that Mitchell relies on for feedback during the game.
"I'd give him a job," Mitchell said.
"I don't think he can play and coach, although he does a bit of that at the moment. I think Jack, for all of the bravado that you see, he is a real footy head. He loves footy. He loves watching it. He loves dissecting it.
"I use him regularly on game day for tactics on how we want to go about different parts of our game. He's got a really positive ahead of him, once his career finishes, which is a decade or more away.
"Whether he wants to take your job (journalist) or mine, I think he's going to be more than capable in that world. We want to help him get there."
The Hawks will look to continue their strong form against Sydney at the MCG on Thursday.
Mitchell is wary of the Swans challenge, who will be without Errol Gulden, while Isaac Heeney is unlikely to play.
"Don't get lulled into the false sense of security that, maybe Gulden is out, maybe Heeney is out. We've heard this song before, and it didn't end too well for us."
