Dan Does Footy

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.

Goodbye Big Red Shed.

Maybe the real Dan Does Footy was the friends we made along the way... It's the last episode in the current Big Red Shed before the boys make the switch to a new studio, but Dan has some business to attend to first. Doc and Xander help unwrap a confusing end to this year's AFL Trade Period, while Joey is still deciding whether or not he should wrestle a Lion at this point. Meanwhile, Dan is in the final stage of his search for a Premier League team, with special guest and Chelsea legend GARY CAHILL looking to sway him to a different shade of Blue.
