Simon Godfrey - 100 Games this week

[DemonDave 1,078]

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!

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

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

Along with Brown, Godfrey came across as one of ND's favourites and so I think that it is fitting that Daniher is there to coach when Godfrey reaches this milestone.

Well done Godders!!! A great effort.

[Jaded No More 57,820]

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.

[Little Goffy 12,565]

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.

[Real Demon 232]

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!

[NO GODFREY NO MELBOURNE 0]

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

[Madness 44]

Well done Frank.

[Rogue 585]

Well said.

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

[BAMF 3,787]

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!

[Gorgoroth 12,319]

Lets hope his kids can actually kick the ball.

[demonfanjezza 1]

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

[_becks_ 35]

Not the most talented player on the list but has gots and determination. Gotta love the bloke.

[occo 2]

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!

[QueenC 74]

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 !!!

[WonnaJurah 5]

will his birthday present be to tag Jimmy Hird

hope we win for the tough tagger and many more games to come

[deanox 8,582]

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.
