St Kilda champion Leigh Montagna leapt to the defence of his former team mate Brendon Goddard in the aftermath of his Essendon swan song.

Joey spoke on behalf of Goddard’s former team mates on Triple M’s Dead Set Legends, saying that the external opinion of him is often false.

“There’s two types of commentary around BJ,” Joey said.

“The people in the media that only see certain snippets of BJ, that think he’s a bit demonstrative and he carries on a bit.”

“I wish more players in AFL clubs had the passion and intensity that he had. You would rather tone it down in a player… All the people that have played with BJ have nothing but high regard for him.”

Last night’s win over the Power was Goddard’s final game at Essendon after he was told during the week he would not be offered a contract next season.

Goddard is yet to make a public decision on his playing future.
