He repeatedly scooped the pill off the deck and passed off effectively. Perhaps our coaching staff have a plan building up his box of tricks with a position in mind. Not sure what, but his athleticism and height may be difficult to match in the right possie.
Earned his spot for mine.
Gorringe's goal of playing as a midfielder doesn't seem that far-fetched. The club's idea of using him as a tall half forward
I still think he lacks the physical attributes to be a genuine ruckman but he is agile, covers the ground well, has good hands and uses the ball well. He is definitely worth persevering with and I reckon he could have value as a half forward who takes a turn in the midfield and pinch hits in the ruck.
On the subject of pinch hitting in the ruck, Rowe showed some hops today :o He didn't get his hands on the ball that often but he was jumping all over Marten and West at centre bounces.
