Bio
A versatile dual-sportsman from Tasmania, Garney Goodrick arrived at Princes Park as a mature-age recruit with a unique sporting backstory. He initially came to prominence in Melbourne not through football, but cricket, representing Tasmania at the MCG in February 1923 in a famous first-class match where he bowled against Victoria’s record-breaking batting lineup. Signing with the Blues shortly after at the age of 28, he played as a utility for three seasons, managing 21 games but struggling to hold a regular place in the senior side. After his VFL stint concluded in 1925, he continued his football career with Northcote in the VFA before his life was tragically cut short in 1929 at just 33 years of age.
