Daniel Motlop

Daniel Motlop (born 16 March 1982) is a former Australian rules footballer who played a total of 130 senior games for the North Melbourne Football Club and the Port Adelaide Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL). After leaving the AFL, Motlop played for the Wanderers Football Club in the Northern Territory Football League for some time.

An Indigenous Australian of the Larrakia people, Motlop is co-founder and general manager of a native foods business called Something Wild, established in 2016 and located in the Barossa Valley, South Australia.

Daniel Motlop was born on 16 March 1982. He is a Larrakia man from Darwin, Northern Territory.

He is one of a number of family members to have played in the AFL. He is the younger brother of North Melbourne and Melbourne player Shannon, the older brother of Port Adelaide player Steven, and the cousin of fellow Port Adelaide player Marlon.

As of November 2021 Daniel's son Jesse plays for the Carlton Football Club.

Playing as a defender or forward, Motlop debuted in 2001 for the Kangaroos and was traded to Port Adelaide at the end of 2005 due to a desire to return to South Australia.[citation needed]

In late 2005 Motlop was traded to Port Adelaide. In the 2007 season, Motlop suffered from an ankle injury in Round 1 and a broken collarbone in Round 9. However, he came back in Round 13 against Brisbane and kicked a career best 6 goals to help set up Port's win, including a goal of the year nomination.[citation needed]

In the 2008 AFL season he ranked 10th on the list of most goals kicked in the AFL, including a career best 7-goal game against Essendon and a 5-goal game against Fremantle, including a candidate for goal of the year.[citation needed]
