Bio
Recruited from the Box Hill Hawks via the 1999 Rookie Draft, Simon Godfrey carved out a respectable career at Melbourne built on elite endurance and discipline rather than silky skills. After earning elevation to the senior list, he established himself as the Demons' primary run-with player under Neale Daniher, utilising his supreme aerobic capacity to wear down opposition stars. Godfrey famously dominated the club's pre-season time trials and became a fixture in the senior side during the club's finals campaigns in the mid-2000s.
While his disposal was occasionally the subject of scrutiny, his reliability in a defensive tagging role made him a valuable asset to the team structure. He played 20 or more games in three separate seasons, eventually bypassing the 100-game milestone to secure life membership with the club. However, as the Demons looked to regenerate their list following a difficult 2007 campaign, Godfrey fell out of favour and was delisted, remembered by fans as a dedicated servant who maximised his potential through sheer work rate.
