Why Have AFL and VFL Teams Gone To The Country Legend “Simon Goosey” For Advice?
I realize that people living outside of country Victoria probably haven’t heard of the great Simon Goosey. But ask anyone down in Victoria’s Mornington Peninsular, and they’ll tell you that Simon is regarded as one of the best footballers never to play AFL. A football deity in Mornington, Simon had stints at the Richmond reserves and Geelong, where the likes of Gary Ablett snr and Billy Brownless kept him out of the firsts. After a brief stint in the VFL, Simon eventually returned home to play in the tough Mornington Peninsular League, where he enjoyed amazing success as both a player and coach. This success later opened the door to coaching opportunities in the AFL, first as an opposition analysis coach with the Western Bulldogs under the great Rodney Eade, then later as a specialist goal kicker working with some of the AFL’s biggest names. Simon’s career is littered with awards and achievements. Here are some of his highlights so far.
