AFL Women's career
Gorman was drafted by the Adelaide Crows with the 25th overall pick in the 2025 national draft, which was the last pick of the first round.[4] Possessing defensive capabilities, Gorman was drafted to usher in Adelaide's next generation of midfielders, particularly amid the recent departures of Chelsea Randall and Anne Hatchard.[5]
She made her debut in the round one, 2026 loss to Sydney at Unley Oval.[6] She kept her spot following a successful debut with nine disposals and four tackles.[7]
