Dan Does Footy

DGM

He could have been anything, but instead, he chose to be a below-average AFL footballer for 7 years.

Now, Dan Gorringe looks to give that same effort to listeners, by giving unfiltered and unqualified insights each week into everything AFL and more.

This is footy, but not like you know it.

North ErectSHIN
Live from Brunswick 7-Eleven, it's Feel Good Friday! The Rats are back together, with one of them fresh off two hours of sleep and a flight home from the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow...but rest assured, we all have a massive Shinboner. Joey's "Blue and White Chad Warner" has kept the wildcard race wide open, but Dan still can't wrap his head around how Geelong escaped the AFL's wrath yet again. Doc is keeping his receipts on the bulldogs, while Xander proves yet again why he's the hardest working journalist in Australia.

Brisbane had one job...
