Dan Gorringe is taking football content creation to another realm, as it was confirmed that he will be live streaming a 'watchalong' for Saturday's preliminary final between Collingwood and Brisbane.
The former Gold Coast and Carlton player will jump on line from 4.30-8.30pm through the AFL YouTube channel and the AFL Live Official App.
Gorringe, aka DanDoesFooty, will be joined by fellow footy creators, AFL and AFLW players, and footy-mad celebrities as they watch and react to all the action as the Pies take on the Lions at the MCG.

"This is just the beginning of modernising how fans experience footy – especially for younger generations who want to immerse themselves in the game differently, and we intend to be the ones leading that shift," Gorringe said, writes AFL Media.
"Working with the AFL to create something truly entertaining for one of the biggest matchups of the season has been an incredible opportunity, and we can't wait to share it with fans this Saturday."
The innovative way to consume football and entertainment has been Gorringe's forte, building a cult following of 490,000 on his Instagram page and another 248,000 on TikTok.
"The AFL is excited to present a new and innovative product to a younger and socially engaged audience for the highly anticipated prelim final on Saturday," AFL EGM of customer and commercial, Bec Haagsma said.
"The Ultimate Footy Watchalong is all about providing an experience that is in tune with younger audience consumption habits, encouraging the connection between the game and the ever-increasing online audience."
