BJ mark 2

"St Kilda defender Hugh Goddard is up for the fight to win a key defensive post in the Saints' back line.

Having overcome a ruptured Achilles that sidelined him for a season, the 21-year-old was on the verge of returning to senior football in June when he hurt ligaments in his toe.


Surgery followed and a frustrated Goddard missed the second half of last season, the three years between being selection 21 in the 2014 national draft and today passing like wildfire.

In the short time the young key defender has been at the club, the Saints have kept bolstering their back line, recruiting Jake Carlisle, Nathan Brown and, in the trade period, Logan Austin, after making an unsuccessful play for Adam Tomlinson.

It's made Goddard well aware competition for spots is hot but he sees it as healthy for the Saints.

"I believe in myself, as everyone else would ... that is what we're here for," Goddard said.

"As cliched as it is you have to put your best foot forward to be able to put yourself in the best position to claim a spot."

Despite his injury troubles, Goddard described his mindset as "optimistic" after entering his first pre-season for three years able to participate from day one. "

I know they have the same surname but Hugh and Brendan barely know each other.

They are second cousins. Not first cousins.

Not sure about any of you lot but not only have I never met my second cousins I have no idea who they are.

Maybe. Maybe some of the SS crew have never met their own father.

But then again some families are very close.

Yeah nah.
Second cousins are not close.

They have met about twice in their lives.

The connection is completely over stated on here.

Romance is an unknown concept to you, with your black cloud following you everywhere...
