Daniel Houston (born 12 May 1997) is an Australian rules footballer playing for the Port Adelaide Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL).
AFL career
He was drafted by the Port Adelaide Football Club with their third selection and 45th overall in the 2016 rookie draft.[1] Prior to the start of the 2017 season, he was promoted to the senior list[2] and subsequently made his debut in his team's 28-point win against Sydney in the opening round of the season at the Sydney Cricket Ground.[3]
Houston received the AFL Rising Star nomination for round 21 after gathering 21 disposals and kicking his first AFL goal in the 27-point win over Collingwood at the Adelaide Oval.[4]
In 2020, Houston was handed a two match suspension for breaching the AFL's COVID-19 protocols, after he and teammate Peter Ladhams had invited unauthorised visitors into their home.[5]
In round 16, 2023, Houston had a best-on-ground possession count of 32 as well as kicking a 55- to 60-metre goal after the siren to defeat Essendon by 4 points, the 57th player to kick a winning goal after the siren in 127 years of VFL/AFL history.[6][7] Houston's form was rewarded with his first selection into the All-Australian team in 2023.[8] He also finished third in the John Cahill Medal count that year, behind fellow All-Australians Connor Rozee and Zak Butters.[9]
During the third quarter of the 56th Showdown against cross-town rivals Adelaide, Houston engaged in rough conduct with Izak Rankine. Rankine was immediately concussed, having to be stretchered off the ground. Houston was sent immediately to the AFL's tribunal,[10] and banned for five matches after an unsuccessful appeal, meaning he would miss out on the Grand Final should the Power qualify.[11]
