In one of the strangest instances of having gotten the wrong memo, ex-Blue and Sun Daniel Gorringe has shown up to the Fox Footy Longest Kick competition dressed as KISS frontman Gene Simmons.
“I thought it was the longest KISS competition so I guess this doesn’t make a whole lot of sense right now,” Gorringe told Fox Footy.
“I prepared to kiss. This didn’t go the way I thought it would but I guess we’ll try do a longest kick here.Gorringe last played AFL football in 2017, but has bounced around suburban local leagues since, last representing the Powelltown Demons in Victoria’s Outer East competition in 2021.“I don’t reckon I’ve attempted to kick a footy over 50m since my last game,’’ Gorringe told
“There was a hamstring and a calf last time I tried. But maybe once I’m out there the competitive juices will flow.” Gorringe was one of two wildcard entries, alongside 2017 champion and cult hero ex-Lion Brendan Fevola.Fevola, conversely, shocked the competition by bombing a 67.1m torp in the first round to secure himself a place in the final despite being the oldest competitor.
This year’s competition opened with a ceremonial kick from footy TikTokers Marmalade, who both beat Gorringe with their efforts.The self-proclaimed"Brisbane great" joins Daniel Rich at the top of the Longest Kick leaderboard heading into the final >>
