Suns ruckman Daniel Gorringe requests trade to SA club
Port Adelaide emerges as preferred club of Gold Coast's Daniel Gorringe.
Porth Adelaide is the destination of choice for young ruckman Daniel Gorringe, who has told Gold Coast he wants return home to South Australia.
The No.10 pick in the 2010 NAB AFL Draft wants more opportunity to play senior football, having fallen behind Zac Smith, Tom Nicholls and Charlie Dixon in the Suns' ruck stocks.
Gorringe's manager Marty Pask, from Essentially Group management, confirmed the 22-year-old's desire to seek a fresh start.
However a trade will need to be struck, given Gorringe remains contracted to the Suns until the end of the 2015 season.
"It's an opportunity factor," Pask said on NAB AFL Trade Radio.
"We've been in constant dialogue with the Gold Coast Football Club.
"We're hopeful we can find something back in Adelaide and likely Port Adelaide if something can get done.
"We're under no illusions that Dan is a contracted player and there's a lot of water to go under the bridge at this point in time, but we're hopeful something will eventuate."
The Power are also hoping to bring in Essendon ruckman Patrick Ryder, who has expressed his interest in playing at Alberton in 2015.
The prospective Ryder deal is likely to have an impact on Gorringe's ability to move to Alberton.
Gorringe has managed 20 games in four seasons at Gold Coast, with his time at the Suns limited by hamstring, ankle and Achilles injuries.
