Daniel Gilmore (born March 2, 1983) is an Australian rules footballer for the Fremantle Dockers in the Australian Football League.
After playing nine games in 2004, he had a frustrating 2005, only playing two games and appearing emergency nine times. After playing mainly as a defender or wingman, in 2006 he was tried as a reserve ruckman due to injuries to regular ruckmen Aaron Sandilands and Justin Longmuir. At 90kgs and 189cm tall he is much shorter than most other ruckmen and has to rely on his leap, speed and endurance to compete.
In 2007, he continued to play as a ruckman because of long term injuries to Longmuir and Sandilands, and towards the end of the season produced some of his best football, gaining more than 20 disposals in 4 consecutive games, including a career high 31 against Essendon in round 19.
When not playing for Fremantle, Gilmore plays for South Fremantle in the WAFL and in 2005 was a member of their premiership side and finished in the top 10 for the Sandover Medal.
[edit] Trivia
He is the grandson of Brian Gilmore, a member of Footscray's 1954 premiership team.
