Simon Godfrey

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Simon Godfrey (born October 18, 1980) is a former Australian Rules footballer who played for the Melbourne Demons.

Godfrey was recruited from Box Hill and debuted for the Demons in 2000, selected at number 14 in the draft. A midfielder, he was fifth in the best and fairest for 2003.

He is known by Demons fans for his somewhat errant kicking, particularly for goal.

Having gained a cult-like status in 2007 with some surprisingly solid tagging roles on bigger names in the competition, Godfrey managed to notch up 100 games.

At the end of the 2007 AFL season, he was not offered a new contract, ending his AFL career after playing 105 games and scoring 23 goals for the club.
