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.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

    It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

    The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

    The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
