Bio

Premiership captain, Finals MVP, and the league's most prolific litigant. Jimmy Gorton captained Orange to the Season 2 championship with Ed Simpson and claimed the Finals MVP for good measure, then famously threatened to take the TNT board to court over an unsatisfactory draft ranking — a dispute that remains, in his view, unresolved. On the court there are no arguments: third all-time in career winners, a fixture in the deepest rounds of every finals series, and one half of the league's defining rivalry, having met Jonathan Kierce in a three-set finals epic three years running (including the agonising Season 3 grand final defeat). In Season 4 he drove Orange back to the semis and finished a single vote off the MVP podium's top step. Missed the very first round of Season 1 with "Bitchitis"; hasn't missed much since. When Jimmy's on, the pizzas and the winners both get delivered.

Per-set rates count finals; votes and BOG stay per match. Badges need 5+ matches in this window. Finals MVP (4-3-2-1) is separate from season MVP votes. Career totals rescale Season 1 votes — a 2 counts as 6, a 1 as 4. Fill-ins count everywhere except votes.
