Toast Simon Goodwin - AFL Life Member

[Vader]

According to the AFC website, Goodwin will qualify for AFL life membership when he plays against the Saints this weekend.

AFL life membership requires 300 games at the top level, including MMC, SoO and International Rules. Goodwin has played 268 premiership matches, 26 MMC games, 2 SoO and 3 International Rules. Next weekend it's the magic 300.

Congratulations to Goody on a magnificent career!

 

[King Elvis]

He's a champion.

I think champion is stretching it but he's a great player nonetheless -Congrats Goody

 

[bus24]

A magnificent achievement!

He may not be at level he was, but he's been a champion for us over a number of years. Well done Goody.

Well he's a club champion, what other qualifications does he need?

Also, congratulations Goody!

 

[WALL-e]

Well deserved.

 

[cmndstab]

He's an absolute champion, no disputing it. He's been one of the greatest players our club has produced to date, which places him in fine company. His name sits very comfortably alongside the names of Ricciuto, McLeod, Hart, Smart and Bickley in terms of consistently excellent football.

He's been the Simon Black of the Crows - hasn't always had the top focus on him, but has consistently and classily given us a great contribution almost every match in his career. Fully deserves the honour of AFL Life Membership

5 time All Australian, 3 time Club champion, 2 premierships, captain, hopefully 300 games

played back, midfield and forward, a prolific ball winner, always hard at it and a superb kick.

ticks all the champion boxes

ps his tackling on the weekend was sensational - led from the front like a skipper should

It was very welcome, lets hope he keeps it up.

 

[Macjoe]

Yeah, well done, Goody.

Congratulations Goody, you truly are a champion and a great servant of the AFC

 

[Pariah]

Congatulations to Goody, you've been a champion on and off field. I hope you want be lost to the AFL when your playing days are over and I wish you all the best in your future enterprises.

Well done Goodie. Richly deserved - enjoy the honour.

I'll always remember Goodie as the player an ex-teammate of my old mans compared my Dad to. I think they were exaggerating things just a tad...

 

[rooboy]

Fantastic for Goody. Not only a champion, but a left footer....it's all good. And 5 times all Australian certainly does make him a champ.

How many AFL life members does our Club in its short history have now? A great reward for a champion player. Onya Goody!

3 on our current playing list (Goodwin, Edwards, McLeod).
Hart & Roo both played 300+ premiership games, so they're definitely in.
I'm 99% sure that Smart also qualified.
Bickley is next cab off the rank, with 272 premiership games - not sure how many SoO, MMC and IR games he played.


I'm not sure if we've had anyone who qualified in other ways. As usual, it's impossible to find a list of Life Members on the AFL website. All they have are a list of articles written about recent admissions to the club.

Pretty sure Bickley was inducted into the AFL Hall of Fame. Fairly sure that would give you lifemembership.

Goodwin - Champion.
