Daniel gorringe on sidelines

Jeebus. Just checked out his Instagram. Darken weird dude. Some funny ones in there.

Most of his instagram is/was ripped off content from some obscure comedian. Bloke is no where near as quirky as he tries to make himself out to be

Keen to hear the series of events that lead to Rocket Eade unofficially delisting him the week before Round 2 of his final season at the Gold Coast.

Played a decent first game for Carlton, and had obvious athleticism and potential as second ruck/tall forward, but just kind of went quietly into the night...

Gorringe (along with James Aish at the time) was playing regularly in a SANFL premiership side as a 17-18 year old. Eventually went on to be a top 10 draft pick, which is somewhat uncommon for a ruckman. He had genuine talent and athleticism and potential, and was expected to be a quality player.

Everything I've heard about him off-field seems to indicate he's a bit of a "character" (remember the vitriolic Yelp review, anyone?), which probably contributed to his not quite panning out as expected as a AFL player. Perhaps didn't have the focus or work ethic needed.

The Twitter moments thing was funny as it was fresh as the time but as soon as the extra extra attention got to his head he just came off as forced.

Thankfully that has since dried up and he can go back to being irrelevant

Maybe check out his Insta, he's pretty memorable.

Great to read on his twitter today that “I’ve teamed up with Sportsbet to deliver my highlights”

Ewww

Just saw him taking the piss out of himself ("That one didn't really work out for the Suns... Yeah...", "All the Gorringes in between") on an ad for Fox Footy's coverage of the National Draft.

Seems he might be parlaying his social media silliness into a payday or two. Might have a future as a Ryan Fitzgerald larrakin type. Those failed SA top 10 draft picks, eh?

Fitzy wasn’t a fail, he was a very good player. It’s just that his knees couldn’t support his waifer thin body weight.

The Tweets are shit and made up, how the **** did he suck companies in with that bullshit

What a flipping weird unit....

I'm Captain Coco ****, I cum coco pops into my enemies' eyes!

The Tweets are s**t and made up, how the fu** did he suck companies in with that bulls**t

It's more of an indictment on this generation that he has a large enough audience that sportsbet see a partnership with him as profitable.

Seems like a tough crowd on here ... but for anyone who enjoys Daniel's content and wants to hear his story, we interviewed him as part of our new podcast Off The Play.

He chats about his relationship with 'Rocket' Rodney Eade, the environment at the Gold Coast Suns, leaving scathing cafe reviews, which ex-teammate most likely to be behind a mass shooting and much more!
