It showed that in a team of five players, each player will only have the ball for around four minutes of a 40 minute game. The message was meant to be about working harder when you don't have the ball but it was lost in the maths. It's not the hitouts Gorringe may win that is important, it's how well he nullifies his opponent, blocks opposition midfielders, brings the ball to ground in marking contests, makes a contest and, as he did so well on Sunday, uses his run and anticipation to create scoring opportunities.
Like many of our players, he's a work in progress and I have a feeling that he will develop into a similar player to Blicavs; almost impossible to match up - unless you're Patrick Cripps
The bold was the take home point.....as mentioned previously, wasn't specifically directed at you.
He does other more important things on the field that make him far more valuable than people realise. Hitting the scoreboard being the obvious one that can't be overlooked.
