Fairly strong comments in the end with what was released on the podcast, but I stand by the thoughts of what I was talking about because I&#8217;ve been talking about it all of the back end of last year and some of last night. But I do need to apologise to everyone for the expletives used throughout.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI wasn&#8217;t thinking it was going out verbatim, but that&#8217;s OK. (Gorringe) is one of my best mates, and I understand that that&#8217;s what the podcast is about, being close to the community and doing that. Just making sure I&#8217;m clarifying my comments.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Essendon legend and part of the 3AW team, Matthew Lloyd, said he wouldn&#8217;t have been as understanding as Docherty was.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI&#8217;d be bitterly disappointed in Dan Gorringe personally, I know he&#8217;s a mate of yours, but I don&#8217;t think mates do that to mates, personally,\u201d Lloyd said.<\/p>\n<p>Get set for the footy with the FREE <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zerohanger.com\/afl-season-guide\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Zero Hanger 2026 AFL Season Guide!<\/a> Packed with 150+ pages of player profiles, team previews, insights and analysis, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zerohanger.com\/afl-season-guide\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">2026 AFL Season Guide<\/a> is built for fans who want the full picture. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zerohanger.com\/afl-season-guide\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Download your free Season Guide HERE.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Recently retired former Carlton captain Sam Docherty has taken to the airwaves in response to the Dan Does&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":523757,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[560],"tags":[638,64,63,55,639,85],"class_list":["post-523756","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-afl","tag-afl","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-australian-football-league","tag-australianfootballleague","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/523756","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=523756"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/523756\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/523757"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=523756"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=523756"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=523756"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
