Daniel Gorringe (born 2 June 1992) is a former professional Australian rules footballer who played for the Gold Coast Football Club and Carlton Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL). He played in the SANFL for Norwood and was named in the All-Australian team in 2010.[1] He was drafted by Gold Coast with pick 10 in the 2010 national draft.[2] He made his debut against the Western Bulldogs in round 3, 2011[3] and struggled with injuries throughout his AFL career.[4] In 2015 he was delisted and transferred to Carlton as a delisted free agent.[5] After two years at Carlton he retired due to his consistent injuries.[4]

Early life

As a teenager, he played for SANFL Norwood's senior side for most of 2010.[2] He averaged 21 hit-outs per game in the 2010 AFL Under 18 Championships and, being one of the best performed players, was named in the ruck in the All-Australian team.[1] As a result of his good form, he was drafted by Gold Coast with pick 10 in the 2010 national draft.[2]

AFL career

Gold Coast (2011–2015)

Gorringe faced numerous injuries to his ankle and hamstring in 2011 and only managed to play seven games, including Gold Coast's first two wins.[6] His injury problems continued in 2012 when he injured his Achilles, which took him out for almost the whole season.[7] In 2013 he stayed fit enough to play nine AFL games for Gold Coast as a useful ruckman and key forward[8] and signed a contract extension to the end of 2015.[9]

In 2014 Gorringe had another achilles injury. Late in the season he recovered to play three AFL games, but a knee injury ended his season prematurely.[10] At the end of the season Gorringe attempted to secure a trade to Port Adelaide, but when Essendon ruckman Patrick Ryder became available to Port Adelaide he was left to finish out his contract at Gold Coast.[11] In 2015 more injuries and poor form meant he was only able to play two AFL games. Towards the end of the season his form in the North East Australian Football League playing for Gold Coast's reserves team started to improve and he was looking to move to another club.[12] He was delisted in October 2015[13] and in November, he was recruited by Carlton as a delisted free agent.[5]

Carlton (2016–2017)

Gorringe got his first opportunity to play an AFL game for Carlton when Carlton's primary ruckman Matthew Kreuzer was injured.[14] He played against North Melbourne, matching up against one of the AFL's best ruckmen in Todd Goldstein. He was dominated by Goldstein throughout the match, which Carlton lost.[15] He played four AFL games before a hip injury ended his season.[16] He faced yet another injury in the 2017 pre-season when he injured his Achilles again.[17] At the end of the season his constant injuries were too much and he retired from football, having played just 26 games across 7 seasons.[4]

Player profile

Gorringe played primarily as a ruckman, but he also had the versatility to play as a key defender when needed.[18] He had a great leap to help him with ruck work and was also very mobile, giving him his versatility.[6] Carlton list manager Stephen Silvagni said he "has an excellent leap and the ability to move around the ground is a mark of his athleticism".[19] His versatility was a weakness while he was playing for Gold Coast as he had difficulty finding his place in the club, one of the reasons he struggled to play many AFL games.[20]
