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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Posted

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.

Posted

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...

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.

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
