He is quite possibly the worst player to every play our great game.

At his size he should tear the ruck apart but he is scared of his own shadow and is a waste of a spot on any list.

    rekon we should be right into him

    I don't agree.

    Name of thread makes him sound quite important though.

    Dud player with a horribly shocking attitude.

    Has talent and we do need another ruckman on our list. But has he even been delisted?

    Reckon we might pick up an experienced ruck with our first pick in the rookie draft as we're thin for numbers there. If Gorringe has been delisted then for me he joins the list of potentials that includes names like:

    Majak Daw

    Craig Moller &

    Jarred Redden

    I could never consider Ayce Cordy or Robert Warnock however...

    To be honest, Jake Spencer is better than any of that bunch.

    I love Spencer's endeavor, but i don't really rate him. And while there's merit to your claim when comparing him to Redden & Daw, Moller only just completed his 3rd year on an AFL list behind Sandilands, Griffin, Hannath etc and it can take time for the big men.

    Gorringe is somewhere inbetween. If i had to pick one i'd probably go with Moller only because he's the youngest so has greater scope to come good.

    Not exactly spoilt for choice with the list though are we!

    Yes, but what happens if both Gawn and Spencer go down? Ideally the ruck department goes deeper than 2 players

  • Quote

    Of all the DFSs out there, he's the one I'd offer a lifeline to.

    Mind you, I'd be pretty [censored] off if Port had convinced me to burn all my bridges at my current club, only to leave you stranded when they found out Ryder was actually attainable.

  • Quote

    In 15 games in the NEAFL which lets be honest is a pretty weak comp he only got in the best 3 times.

    Like i said the attitude is very [censored] weak. Soft as butter too.

  • Quote

    Considering Zac Smith also left the club, GC must really not rate Gorringe

  • Quote

    I think the draft is our answer to the ruck problem.

    If Gawn and Spencer both go down we throw King or a draftee in and live with it.

    We aren't winning the flag next year, so better to take the risk than waste a spot on a guy we know won't be long term.

    That said if we took Gorringe as a rookie and gave him a month in the ring with Brock McLean tactics he could work out. There's talent there for sure. Just seemingly little heart.

    Disagree with this. We do need to draft for a ruck man, but that is a long term investment. Throwing a first year ruck into the seniors (hypothetical, if Max and Spence go down) would be a catastrophe.

    We need a short term prospect to provide some insurance and the rookie list is the best way, IMO. Gorringe would be on my list to have a look at, but well toward the bottom.

    Do you mean publicly denigrating his former club, and throwing them under the bus????

    Surely his biggest claim to fame is having as his name the only word that rhymes with orange.

    Rookie Majak

    Have Majak's "personal issues" come to a conclusion yet? If not he would be a huge risk, and we already have Milkshake with potential "forced time out" hanging over him.

  • Quote

    Majak has an agreement with North to be rookie listed, so unless someone really wants him he is likely to stay at North.

    Gorringe hasn't made the most of his opportunities. To think GCS were happy to cut him with their current ruck stocks is quite a statement.

    Don't know much about the other rucks, but I'm happy to rookie a project type like king and see what we can develop them in to. King still looms as a likely ruck candidate for us in 24 months time.

    If we wanted another backup ruck we would have kept Jamar or Fitz on. Because we haven't, it seems to me that the FD have plan A under control...

  • Quote

    I haven't seen enough of Gorringe to have an informed opinion but I'd be looking at a 23 year old, fully grown, former pick 10 before any Rob Warnock or 18 year old.

    This is the time they are supposed to come good and a delisting might be the kick up the bum he needs i.e. Mav Weller.

    I hope we are doing our homework on him.

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
