Daniel Metropolis debut for the Eagles 1992
And there are a lot of Daniel’s (by birth name) who went by Dan or Danny. That does not, not make them a Daniel just because they choose to shorten their Christian names. The oldest of whom were Dan Moriarty, Dan Collins and Danny Dunne (all of whom were born with the first name Daniel and preferred to shorten it and all had VFL debuts in 1897.
From what I can gather, since the inception of the VFL 31 players have gone by the name of Danny and 23 have preferred Dan in addition to your 49 who were listed under the name Daniel.
