Simon Godfrey - 100 Games this week

Featured Replies

Well done to Simon Godfrey, its a great achievement to reach 100 games, he's had to work 10 times harder than some of the guys with more natural ability,

he epitomises the blue collar work ethic that is needed at our club. Whilst they haven't all been matchwinning games, and he's hardly gone about it in Brownlow-vote

worthy performances, he is no less worthy of any praise bestowed upon him for this milestone than any of our superstars when they got to 100.

Lets hope Simon leads them out through the banner tomorrow night with purpose, and does a remarkable stopping job on Brent Stanton or the like, and is able to lead

the team off the field in victory side-by-side with our departing coach (There, I had to mention Daniher somewhere in this post!).

Good luck Godders!

 
 

Congratulations Godfrey!

That he has played 100 AFL games is a true testament to his hard work and determination to get the most out of himself.

His downfalls are well publicised, but in the words of Daniher: "he could teach his more talented teammates a thing or two"

What a huge game it will be tomorrow, and I hope for everyone's sake that we belt the living suitcase out of Essendon.


Wow, I'd forgotten all about it. I'm gald someone reminded me because it is a big milestone and Godfrey is a player who has worked damn hard to get there.

Only one full season (2003) in his entire career, but despite being routinely dropped and even spending long stretches out of AFL level, he still is totally committed to the club and the task at hand.

Take Godfrey's attitude and plant it into every young player on our list.

Maybe throw in a little Gary Lyon arrogance...

Congratulations Simon Godfrey.

I can't wait to see what the banner says!

Well done godders agree with what everyone has said.

Also does he have any sons because we could use there work ethick in a few years.

Heh heh. I'm sure once he sets his focus on it there will be hundreds of little Godfreys. Although he may be more use preventing champion players from other teams having their own.

Eew. This train of thought can go to very bad places very fast.

 

Well done Godders...........a great achievement from a true demon!

Have a great game!


anyone else see the irony in the fact that godders will play his 100th game the week where it is likely to be overshadowed by the departure of our coach? i suppose it is fitting

It won't be overshadowed if he kicks another 50m right-foot snap goal! :lol:

Well it seems to have taken an awfully long time but my boy has made it. Congratulations!

Will the Dees fire up for Neale's last game? I don't think so, they'll fire up for Franky Godfrey's 100th.

GO DEES

He frustrates me with his disposal, but if some players had the heart and determination of Godders, we'd be a far better side.

Well said.

I'm glad he's got to the 100 game mark.

AMEN Brother!! preach it!!!

GODFREY FOR CAPTAIN!*

ok maybe a little ambitious...i love skippa, i dont care that hes got no hair

Ha! really am pleased to see this guy make it to the 100 game mark.

Just as good as when Rigoni made it.

Congratulations go out to you Simon!

Having a great year. and hope you have a great game!

Congratulations Godders-- very well deserved. Hopefully you and the boys can go and play out of your skins tonight


I have always loved Godders. He doesent have the natural ability but he tries his hardest and that impresses me to be honest. Nice job godders!

Congratulations to Simon for achieving the 100 game milestone......

His heart and his attitude should never be undervalued, despite his faults and the criticism he attracts.

He has always done the best he can for the Dees and that should be recognised and remembered.

So well done to Godders :D !!!

 

if they cant lift for godfrey who can the lift for? the true team man. making the most of what he's got, running harder than he needs too. often let down by his higher profile, 'skillfull' teammates. congrats frank on reaching this milestone. thats your name on the locker and the kids on the list if they're good enough.

    It's Game Day and the Demons have another opportunity to spoil another team's finals aspirations as they take on the Hawks at the MCG. What do you want to see from the boys today?

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

    The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

  • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

    Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

  • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

    Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

  • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

    The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

  • CASEY: Brisbane

    The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.
