'''Brendon James Goddard'''<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.afl.com.au/news/55613/brendon-goddard-chat-transcript-25th-june-2003|title=Brendon Goddard Chat Transcript (25th June 2003)|publisher=[[Australian Football League]]|date=26 June 2003|access-date=21 September 2023}}</ref> (born 20 May 1985) is a former professional [[Australian rules football]]er who played for [[St Kilda Football Club|St Kilda]] and [[Essendon Football Club|Essendon]] in the [[Australian Football League]] (AFL). He played for the [[St Kilda Football Club]] from 2003 to 2012, then with Essendon from 2013 to 2018.

He was the captain of Essendon during the [[2016 AFL season|2016 season]].

==Early life==
Goddard was raised in [[Traralgon, Victoria]], and later attended [[Caulfield Grammar School]] as a boarder. He was an accomplished sportsman, co-captaining the school's First XVIII football team and co-captaining the First XI cricket team as a [[batsman]] and [[Fast bowling|pace bowler]].<ref name=Age>{{cite news | last=Silkstone | first=Dan | title=Goddard willing | date=13 September 2008 | publisher=The Age | url=http://www.realfooty.com.au/news/news/goddard-willing/2008/09/12/1220857841662.html?page=fullpage#contentSwap2 | access-date=13 September 2008 | archive-date=13 December 2019 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191213195502/http://www.realfooty.com.au/news/news/goddard-willing/2008/09/12/1220857841662.html?page=fullpage#contentSwap2 | url-status=dead }}</ref>

==AFL career==

===St Kilda: 2003–2012===
A lifelong Carlton supporter, it seemed destined that Goddard would fulfill his boyhood dream of playing for the Blues when Carlton finished last in the [[2002 AFL season]] and indicated they would take Goddard with the first pick of the [[2002 AFL Draft|2002 National Draft]]. However, an investigation into [[Carlton Football Club salary cap breach|salary cap breaches]] stripped Carlton of the #1 pick, which was elevated to [[St Kilda Football Club|St Kilda]], who ultimately took him. "It was pretty deflating, to be honest. But at that age you don't get a choice of where you go, so I was just grateful to get an opportunity anywhere."<ref>{{cite web | url=https://m.essendonfc.com.au/news/2014-11-24/goddard-could-have-been-a-blue | title=How Goddard was almost a Blue }}</ref>

He debuted in the following season while completing his [[Victorian Certificate of Education]] as a Year 12 student at [[Caulfield Grammar School]]. He played in the [[2004 Wizard Home Loans Cup]] winning side – the club's second [[NAB Cup|AFL pre-season competition]] win. After being selected with the number 1 pick, he received a lot of criticism in his early years.<ref name=Age />

During a round 7 clash against the [[Sydney Swans]] in 2007, Goddard ruptured his [[Anterior cruciate ligament|ACL]] after falling heavily onto it, which resulted in Goddard missing the remainder of the season.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://injuryupdate.com.au/injuries/knee/acl_reconstructions.php |title=List of AFL players who have previously undergone ACL reconstruction |access-date=23 September 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110929121440/http://www.injuryupdate.com.au/injuries/knee/acl_reconstructions.php |archive-date=29 September 2011 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

He would return to play in round 3, 2008 and produced a solid form for the rest of the year. Despite interest from other clubs trying to recruit him, he signed a contract to stay with the Saints until 2010.

After a strong first few rounds of the 2009 season, Goddard was noted as one of the best players in the league and was seen as an early favourite for the [[Brownlow Medal]].

Although generally considered a defender/midfielder, during a round 3 match against [[West Coast Eagles|West Coast]] in 2009, he was positioned in the forward line and kicked four goals in the first quarter, the most he had ever kicked in a single game until that time. Although he didn't kick another goal for the game, he did gain 28 disposals in a best on field performance.

Goddard averaged 27.2 possessions per game in 24 matches in 2009 and was selected in the [[2009 All-Australian Team]] and finished as the runner-up for the [[Trevor Barker Award]].<ref>[http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/riewoldt-wins-historic-fifth-medal-20091124-j75q.html Riewoldt wins historic fifth medal] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121107062352/http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/riewoldt-wins-historic-fifth-medal-20091124-j75q.html |date=7 November 2012 }}</ref> St Kilda finished first on the ladder after the home and away season and won their [[2009 AFL season|third minor premiership]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://afltables.com/afl/seas/2009.html#lad|title=2009 Season Scores and Results – Ladder|work=AFL Tables|year=2009|access-date=2009-11-08}}</ref> They qualified for the [[2009 AFL Grand Final]], where they were defeated by the [[Geelong Cats]] by 12 points.

He averaged a career-high 28.7 possessions in 25 games (including four finals matches). He was voted in the [[All-Australian Team]], finished third in the [[Trevor Barker Award]] and received 14 votes in the [[2010 Brownlow Medal]] going into the night as the favourite to win. In the drawn [[2010 AFL Grand Final]], Goddard finished second in the voting for the [[Norm Smith Medal]], with seven votes and his teammate [[Lenny Hayes]] won it with 13 votes.<ref name="NM">{{Cite web |url=http://www.perthnow.com.au/sport/afl/st-kilda-hardman-lenny-hayes-wins-first-2010-norm-smith-medal/story-e6frg1x3-1225929360142 |title=St Kilda hardman Lenny Hayes wins first 2010 Norm Smith Medal |access-date=25 September 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100929012526/http://www.perthnow.com.au/sport/afl/st-kilda-hardman-lenny-hayes-wins-first-2010-norm-smith-medal/story-e6frg1x3-1225929360142 |archive-date=29 September 2010 |url-status=dead }}</ref> He is also remembered for taking a memorable high mark in the last quarter, and kicking a goal which put the Saints in front (before Collingwood came back to draw the game and defeat the Saints in the replay a week later). At the conclusion of the season, he signed on until the end of the 2012 season.

On 1 October 2012, Goddard signed with Essendon and became the first big name to use the AFL's new free-agency period which debuted in 2012. Goddard had refused to sign a new three-year deal all season and instead opted to sign with the Bombers, who offered him higher pay and a four-year contract. Goddard was formally offered the deal by Essendon at 11am on 1 October, with St Kilda allowed 72-hours in which to make a counter offer.<ref>[http://www.afl.com.au/tabid/208/default.aspx?newsid=148889 afl.com.au]{{dead link|date=September 2021|bot=medic}}{{cbignore|bot=medic}}</ref> However, the Saints decided by the end of the day that they were not willing to match the offer, therefore allowing Goddard to join the Bombers. In making a formal statement of the decision, St Kilda head of football, Chris Pelchen, stipulated that the club had made a significant offer to Goddard "that was relative to both his position and other players within the team. While we are disappointed at his decision to leave the Saints, we are absolutely committed to our ‘team first’ philosophy in relation to player contracts."<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.saints.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/5315/newsid/148945/default.aspx |title=Goddard departs Saints - Official AFL Website of the St Kilda Football Club |access-date=2 October 2012 |archive-date=4 October 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121004002336/http://www.saints.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/5315/newsid/148945/default.aspx |url-status=dead }}</ref> St Kilda's senior coach, [[Scott Watters]], further elaborated on the reasons St Kilda chose not to counter the Bombers' offer: "As far as the offer that was put forward to Brendon, it would've put him in the top two highest paid players at our football club", Watters said.<ref name="3aw.com.au">{{Cite web |url=http://www.3aw.com.au/blogs/3aw-football-blog/st-kilda-offered-goddard-significantly-more-than-500000-to-stay/20121001-26unq.html |title=St Kilda offered Goddard 'significantly' more than $500,000 to stay &#124; 3AW Football |access-date=2 October 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121004011632/http://www.3aw.com.au/blogs/3aw-football-blog/st-kilda-offered-goddard-significantly-more-than-500000-to-stay/20121001-26unq.html |archive-date=4 October 2012 |url-status=dead }}</ref> "The reason (for Goddard leaving) is money. It's that simple."<ref name="3aw.com.au"/> St Kilda was said to have offered "significantly more" than $500,000 a year to Goddard.<ref name="3aw.com.au"/>

===Essendon: 2013–2018===
He joined Essendon with aspirations of winning a premiership, but found himself walking into [[Essendon Football Club supplements controversy|one of the biggest controversies in Australian sporting history]]. Goddard took on the responsibility of being a leader and speaking to the media where his new teammates were not allowed to speak.

Goddard's first season at Essendon was capped off when he won the first best-and-fairest award of his career.<ref>[http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/rise-and-shine-20110204-1ah0v.html Rise and shine]</ref> He played every game for the season, mainly through the midfield, averaging 26 disposals and kicking 18 goals, his best season tally since 2010. His leadership continued to be valued on and off the field, and his maturity and experience in big games proved invaluable to the young list.

In 2014, Goddard once again maintained his form on the field, whilst again being a voice for his teammates in the media. He was important in Essendon's loss to the [[North Melbourne|North Melbourne Football Club]] and finished third in the [[W. S. Crichton Medal]].

In January 2016, Goddard was named as Essendon's captain, replacing the [[Essendon Football Club supplements controversy|suspended]] [[Jobe Watson]]. [[Mark Baguley]] was named as vice-captain.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/more-news/brendon-goddard-named-essendon-captain-for-2016-afl-season/news-story/e8431a6e8577b2682a89bb3333b9584b|title=Brendon Goddard named Essendon captain for 2016 AFL season|date=22 January 2016|work=[[Herald Sun]]|publisher=[[News Corp Australia]]|access-date=22 January 2016}}</ref>

In August 2018, Essendon opted not to offer Goddard a contract for the 2019 season, effectively ending Goddard's football career.
