BJ - 300 this weekend

[boncer34]

I'm aware a number of you aren't thrilled with how he left but Goddard hits his 300th game this weekend when he runs out vs. GWS. No doubt you guys got his absolute best but he's still been very very good for us.

What's your favorite memory of this bloke? Do you still consider him a St Kilda champion? Ironically my favorite memory of him is "that" mark for you guys in the 2010 Grand Final.

Congrats to BJ for hitting 300.
That mark was sensational wasn't it. Wouldhave been great if he kicked winning GF goal from it but not to be.
Had a great career and will always be a Saint to me.

When 'that mark' was taken followed by the goal I remember thinking THIS COULD BE IT!! ....well we all know how things panned out

Why?

 

[George]

He was my favourite Saint before he left. The closest I've ever seen us come to winning a Grand Final, or have the feeling of being premiers, was the mark he took in that granny. I was in the Saints cheer squad and I could feel the MCG shake underneath my feet. Surreal moment. Congrats to him.

Best game he played for us.

 

[Timeoftheseason]

One of our stars that actually stood up in the high pressure finals,had 2 stellar finals series in our premiership tilts.all the best to B.J. glad to see him get to 300.always loved his aggression we he played for us.

 

[theprospect]

Loved him at St. Kilda, loathed him when he left. Have never liked him as an Essendon player, however I'm sure once he is retired I'll look back on his career a bit more fondly. He and Lenny did nearly single handedly win us a Grand Final, won't ever forget it but I'll also never forget when he left us and the dark, dark period our club was about to enter.

 

[Pardon me]

Couldn't even tell you what year he left - although many on here will. 300 is a major milestone though so I'm happy when any afl player reaches it. For some reason my first memory of Goddard is a photo in the HS of him in his school uniform sitting at a desk with a stupid grin on his face, must of been when he was recruited...
He's a bomber now and I'm sure he did it at st kilda too but all I see now is how much he sooks when things aren't going his way.
Like I said, grats on 300 but I don't really have many memories of the bloke.

 

[The Jack Pack]

Congratulations to BJ for hitting the 300 game milestone, it's a fantastic achievement. I remember when he went down with that ACL in 2007 and wondered how he would come back from an injury like that, and to his credit, he came back even better than ever and maintained that consistency. He definitely became one of our most important players during the 09/10 period.

As for my favourite memory of him, it has to be that mark... that's definitely a moment that I'll never forgot.

Hope the Bombers get up for him on the weekend.

 

[STK2020]

Congratulations BJ ,
I cant wait for you to retire so WE can love you again .

 

[StFly]

Why?

He was one who made a commitment to deliver a flag and stick together. Then he made a choice with FA to leave for more money and years, nothing else, just money and what he deemed was security. You have to expect some backlash for that when he like Ball then went to a "big 4" coming from the "minnow" club that people pot continuously, it's like a slap in the face after a kick in the balls.

I don't expect you to understand the sentiment, and he was great for us like Ball was, and 300 games is a terrific achievement, but he is a Bomber now, as that was his choice when it came time for him to choose.

2012, hope he does a knee and retires afterwards so we don't have to deal with Essendon for any father sons, because we all know how fun that was.

My best memory of him was as a skinny redhead

Because he ended up rocking a red mullet and throwback to the 80's in the early 00's. Ranga mullet.

But his 2010 was gutwrenching, because he and Lenny tried so very hard and @#$%^ Collingwood.

 

[Confuscius]

Haven't watched the game back for obvious reasons but always felt we dropped a level or two after he broke his nose/collarbone in 09 grand final.

That with the fact he was arguably best on in the draw means once he retires I guess a lot of the bitterness here will go. Gave absolutely everything he could to win those games.

300 games is a great achievement though

 

[SainterOf92]

Can't quite recall. Or maybe I've just buried the memory.

I feel like he marked the ball while surrounded by a lot of players in an important game a while back. Then he kicked it between some big sticks.

Yeah thats my favourite BJ moment.

Congrats on 300 BJ.

Dont care. Is an opposition player. Great petsonal achievement.
Will welcome him back when he retires if he wants to.
Dal has stated he is a Saint through and though. bj looks to have the attitude of an Essendon player though

 

[SaintRick88]

On ya BJ. Will never forget your contributions to the Saints and particularly the 2010 grand final. Always a Saint to me!

 

[RWBlyf]

I recall BJ shedding a tear when he played his first game against the saints, obviously shows he loves the club when he poured his heart and gave his all for the saints, very very good player but that is a distant memory. I don't think I've ever adjusted to the red and black on him he suits the white added in but that's just me. Congratulations on 300 a great achievement!

 

[saintkildaman]

Still sucks that Dal and BJ couldn't finish their careers at St Kilda, grew up watching them during one of the best eras the club has had. Will both always be Saints to me, footy can just be business sometimes.

 

[Stan_Darsh72]

2010 gf ranks as one of the best performances I have ever seen in a St Kilda gurnesy.

He was ****ing massive that day and his mark was the greatest high i have felt as a saints fan

 

[lethalsaints]

He left. He was Ess captain.

 

[Munga]

I'll always remember him as a Saint. Can't say that I've noticed him since he's left.

 

[Dard Ball Get]

Few interesting viewpoints here.

Loved him as a Saint, had/has his quirks no doubt, but gave it all in both GF's (I don't count '10 #2).

I'll never judge anyone for their decisions, without knowing their personal circumstances.

His time as a don has been a blur to be honest, and I don't look back with as much fondness as the other senior players of that time, however the club didn't seem like a great place to be after 2010.

300 well played

 

[VDS66]

Hopefully both teams pay him due respect by forming a Guard of honour when he runs out.

With all 44 players pointing a finger at him...
