Originally from Carine, Western Australia, Gourdis played junior football for Western Australian Football League club Subiaco, but was overlooked at the 2007 AFL draft, despite ranking no.1 in the 20m sprint (2.3 sec), and no.1 in the running vertical jump (101 cm), at the AFL Draft Camp in Canberra. However, in December 2007, Richmond selected Gourdis with their number 1 pick in the 2007 Pre-Season Draft.[1]
Unable to break into Richmond's senior team, Gourdis was delisted at the end of the 2008 AFL season before being re-drafted by Richmond at the 2008 AFL Rookie draft.
Gourdis made his AFL debut on 14 August 2010, in Round 20 of the 2010 AFL season, against Carlton at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) and after playing four senior games for Richmond across 2010 and 2011, Gourdis was delisted by Richmond on 30 November 2011.[2]
