Brett Goodes (born 17 February 1984) is an Australian rules footballer who plays for the Western Bulldogs in the Australian Football League. He is the brother of Sydney Swans dual Brownlow Medalist Adam Goodes.[1]

He played for North Ballarat in the Victorian Football League (VFL) and the NT Thunder in the Queensland Australian Football League (QAFL) before accepting a job with the Western Bulldogs as a player development manager. Whilst at the club, he played in the Bulldogs VFL reserves squad, Williamstown. At the end of the 2012 season, he was invited to train with the Bulldogs senior team, and was selected with the club's first draft pick in the 2013 Rookie Draft.[1]

AFL career

He made his AFL debut for the Bulldogs in the opening round of the 2013 season against Brisbane Lions at Etihad Stadium. In the Round 2 match against Fremantle, he was amongst the best players afield.[2] After a promising first year, Goodes struggled for form in the 2014 season, playing predominately in the club's VFL reserves team, where he won the Best and Fairest.[3]

Goodes was delisted at the conclusion of the 2014 AFL season. [4]

He was re-drafted to the Bulldogs in the 2014 Rookie Draft, and was elevated to the senior list prior to the club's Round 1 clash against the West Coast Eagles.
