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.

    Dan is the best thing that ever happened to footy and I feel like he’d be a better CEO than Dillon. Highly rated in my family and every week the countdown is on till the new episode drops. Keep up the great work Dan and Oli!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

In The Lab: Pulling Out The Receipts
Q: There's any chance we can get some insight into forward pressure. Can we compare the best of now versus history?
The host explains that traditional pressure metrics are imperfect and introduces an intensity metric (pressure acts per 100 disposals) to assess how hard teams hunt the ball when the opposition has it, highlighting Adelaide, Sydney, Collingwood, and Geelong as leaders in that area.
Why This AFL Team Is In Serious Danger
Q: Is there a link between ladder position and spoils per game for a team's defense?
The relationship is weak; spoiling more often does not equate to better results and can indicate teams under pressure; the defense's effectiveness depends more on intercepts and contest efficiency than spoiling alone.
Why This AFL Team Is In Serious Danger
Q: Why are teams handballing so much, and would bombing it long be better sometimes?
Handballing has risen as teams seek space and better 1v1 options, but the data shows it does not inherently improve winning; the benefit comes when handballs create better entries and space to attack, rather than simply moving the ball forward carelessly.
The Devils' Meme Defence
Q: What is your take on the Frampton three-week suspension discussion?
The hosts think three weeks might be excessive for a split-second, accidental sequence, arguing that freak accidents happen in football and that the game should not be deemed 'gone' because of a single mistaken action.
We're All a Bunch Of Nuffies
Q: How would you describe the mood going into the Q-Clash with Noah Anderson?
The mood is competitive but lighthearted, with the hosts aiming to pull forward insights from Noah while keeping the chat entertaining for Feel Good Friday. Noah shares his readiness and some behind-the-scenes thoughts on prep and the team's approach to big games.
