An AFL tragic from a young age, Dan Gorringe was born in the Crows heartland of Adelaide, South Australia.
While he would never go on to play for his boyhood team, he would become a professional AFL player, just a little further away from home than he might have initially hoped.
Dan was part of the Gold Coast Suns inaugural squad and made his debut for them in round 3 of their debut season.
He is best known for taking a spectacular mark on his debut that was controversially not awarded by the umpires. Many believe had it been awarded; it would have gone on to win Mark of the Year.
Dan’s career was dogged by injuries and after his time on the Gold Coast he played one season for Carlton before deciding to hang them up and focus on other things.
One of those things surprisingly turned out to be reality TV! Dan appeared on the 2020 version of Big Brother Australia where he finished runner up.
Dan then pursued his own podcast Dan does Footy which quickly became one of the highest rating podcasts in Australia
Gorringe has gained a substantial following across his various social media accounts for his quick-wittered humour and fresh take on covering events in the AFL.
Those who tuned into his recent podcast with Mark Bouris on Straight Talk will also know Gorringe also has a serious side to him. Dan openly speaks to his mental health battles after his time playing in the AFL. From a speaking perspective, he enjoys talking to groups about that period of his life, a story and approach that many organisations and clubs may find extremely beneficial and relatable for their players, members and employees. Dan is available for corporate or community engagements.
