List Mgmt. Dan Gorringe requests trade to Port Adelaide

[Port01]

Mitch Harvey the happiest bloke on earth if we have some ruck depth

 

[Portia]

We need to draft more Vic Metro players this year, so we actually have some guys willing to be traded.

I reckon we trade out SA players more than Vic Metro.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Ryder, Gorringe, Lowden.

Should Redden be worried?

Yep - got a 12 month contract - basically rehab time. Wouldnt be surprised if the club "Renoufed him" to the rookie list.

 

[Schulzenfest]

We can probably lose the rumour tag now that his manager has confirmed it.

I dunno. If we could get him for a late second/third rounder or half decent depth player, that's not a lot dearer than Lowden's price anyway and we're getting a far superior raw talent.

If Gorringe and Lowden would come at the same price, then I'd rather have Gorringe. I don't think they would though. But it would be a hell of a trade period if we could somehow trade our first three picks to get Ryder and Gorringe.

I just don't get it from Gorringe's perspective. He'd be a clear second ruck at the Crows, he'd probably be fourth ruck here if we get Ryder.

The Ken factor!!

 

[wilbur_15]

I told people 2014 draft and trade period had to be land of the giants time.

Hinkley is not disappointing you. Although it looks like we won't be in the draft til about pick 50 so this superdraft for talls which was the original impetus for the idea is becoming largely irrelevant!

Agreed, hopefully this year was awesome for his development though. Might've helped build his tank too. Big year at CHF next year, Butch and Shaw picking up the crumbs off the big man.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Why didn't Gorringe come last year?? We were apparently all over him then.

Based on that photo of him on a boat last year in the thread we were talking about him, it might have been the girlfriend factor.

 

[Seanybruz]

If we could get Ryder & Gorringe for the following we'd be doing pretty well.

Port gain
Ryder
Gorringe

Port lose
Pick 16
Pick 35
Newton/Butcher

Edit: just realised Coop made the same trade proposal lol.

 

[mic59]

If a Gorringe trade eventuates, then what we may have to pay for him could depend on how much GCS have to let him go. GCS concessions will end completely in 2015, the last hurrah in 2014 being that they had an extra $400K in their salary cap. Now they will be under the same constraints as everyone else.
In 2001 we traded for Damien Hardwick for picks 31 and 47. He was probably worth more but Essendon had to cut their list because of salary cap pressure. The same may be applying in the case of Gorringe and GCS. Gorringe was an early pick while Hardwick was 87 but Hardwick was a proven player while Gorringe has played 20 games in 4 years.

 

[BIG MATTY WHITE]

Redden would be an upgrade on the rookie list over renouf

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

If we do get Ryder as expected, seems odd that Gorringe would see a first team future with us (Redden in the mix as well). Given them across the road only have Jacobs of quality.

Paddy to either CHB or ruck roving like Roughie has been doing this finals series.

We rate Lobbe highly here, but he isn't an 'outstanding' ruckman and glaringly irreplacable (and personally I think Jacobs is a fair bit better), so maybe he believes he could come in and replace Lobbe one day a lot easier than Jacobs.

Fingers crossed he is cheap. A talented junior ruck developing in a training environment V Ryder, Lobbe & Redden could develop super quick.

 

[SgtSchulz]

I'd lol if we play one ruck in round one and Kane Mitchell and Sam Gray are in the fwd line. I wouldn't put it past Ken.

Think REH just answered your question. Ken!

You don't think our first three picks + Newton in player or pick form will be enough for Ryder and Gorringe? I think that's a decent chance. The Crows being surely able to muster up a better offer for Gorringe will be the only sticking point I think. May end up coming down to honouring player's desire vs slightly better compo for GCS.

Perhaps adding Moore into the deal here somehow may be worth it to nab both Ryder and Gorringe?

If we are drafting tall, we wouldn't want to lose to many smalls

 

[wilbur_15]

Trade in quality, more mature talls instead and then draft mids/smalls with our remaining late picks and hopefully get guys that in a normal draft (ie. without a large number of promising talls) may have feasibly gone 20s or 30s instead (Hewett/Taylor/Dumont/Robertson types).

I suppose a minor plus with taking Gorringe over Lowden (if it came to that) would be the no go home factor with SA lad Gorringe whereas Lowden is from Melbourne (Sandringham Dragons) - but then again we have had great success with our Victorian boys staying with us especially through the recent dark years. Looking at Lowden's stats on the Hawthorn site I see he's 204cm tall and 102kg in weight (unsure how up to date all that is) so he's certainly a big hulking type that you'd think wouldn't be easily pushed out of the way.

 

[vonno]

Yep keen for him to come to port. Let's see how this pans out

 

[exile]

gotta admit, i'm gonna miss seeing his insta pics of her in the gc sunshine.

just curious, where's aaron young at?

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

We have too many smalls. So 1 tall for 1 small, per trade makes sense.

 

[Enviable Tradition]

Apparently they are trying to set up a meeting between Gorringe and their senior coach.

No, no, no it's their list manager...

 

[Enviable Tradition]

As good as this apparent news is, I'd be surprised if this actually ended up happening - unless it's a player (than draft pick) swap. And that would surely require someone wanting out.

Paul Stewart would be very handy for a side like GC IMO.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Didn't Gorringe sign a 2 year contract last period and that closed down the trade talk on him 12 months ago??

 

[madman]

Gorringe was at the SANFL grand final, probably barracking for his old team Norwood. Then saw we needed a ruck....
