If he is going to play mainly as a ruckman, he has to be bigger and stronger. He is most suited to playing as a tall half forward, as was his stated position in the pre-season.
Like many around him, the bloke needs time to gain confidence and learn the speed of the game at senior level.....the guy's played 24 senior games Clearly lost his way at GC, maybe injury, loss of confidence.....
From all reports, an elite runner and a hard match up aerobically given his stature.....
From the GC web site:
Quote:Stuck behind Tom Nicholls and Zac Smith in the ruck queue, Gorringe was again hampered by injury in 2014.
An Achilles problem cost the South Australian 12 weeks on the sidelines, but he got three senior games late in the season to push his case before a knee injury finished his year early.
Gorringe is athletic, has a great leap and moves around the ground well, but is down the pecking order and will need to work hard to command a regular spot.
He emerged as one of the strongest runners at the club during the summer and has put his hand up for a role in the midfield during the year.
A WIP?
Finals, then 4 in a row!
