Luke Godden was an Australian rules football
er in the Australian Football League
Godden was drafted in the 1995 AFL Draft
at number 40 to Collingwood after playing with the Northern Knights U18 side. He played in the reserves during the first season at the club, and most of his second season, before breaking into the side for a debut late in the year. He played 20 games in 1998 at half-back, normally a receiving player, yet he played the game hard. His disposal under pressure however was a con, despite being able to get it in most situations. In 1999 he had a good season statistically, playing consistent football, averaging 16 disposals a game, but with the side not performing, he was part of a process which Malthouse adopted in re-constructing the side, and Godden was delisted.
