Dan Gorringe vs Port Adelaide

Mr.Craig · October 18, 2014, 01:46:16 AM

Wow, some brutal stuff here. Highlights include...

"Port Adelaide did promise things to me and I don't like being lied to. I'm disgusted - and embarrassed - particularly when I fulfilled my end of the bargain, 100 per cent."

"It is hard for me to see myself in Port Adelaide colours now."

"The trust with the club is broken. It is going to be very hard to rebuild that. I'm disgusted - so is my manager."

"They have described me as a brat and say I don't like the Gold Coast."

It sounds like he needs a cup of concrete to harden the F up

Just to clarify for those not reading the article He was talking about Gold Coast fans on social media with this comment, not Port Adelaide ;)

And what is Ryder then? ::)

Ziplock · October 18, 2014, 05:11:21 PM

Well, I can understand why he'd be pissed. I don't know what agreement they had, but by making a fringe player like gorringe declare his desire to move, it seriously limits his potential for more games next year.

Port wanted him, but got pushed too hard with the Ryder deal, otherwise he'd be with us. If that's the way the GC roll, all the better for teams that want him next year

Lol, he's probably better off staying at GC where he'll be playing in premierships for the next 4-10 years...

Dan oh Dan, whats Port done to you?

PowerBug · October 18, 2014, 08:34:34 PM

Apparently Port pushed for Gorringe at the end of last season, when he was uncontracted, but he turned them down.

Came from the Advertiser so idk how credible that make it, but maybe people could remember if Port tried last offseason? If so then his own fault, not Port's. Keith Thomas also claimed in this article that Port were still trying to get Gorringe after the Ryder deal was done, but GC wanted a top 30 pick, something Port didn't own.
