He was originally drafted by the Eagles from Subiaco in the West Australian Football League with selection 64 in the 1992 AFL Draft. After playing 13 games over three seasons he was selected by Fremantle as an uncontracted player. As per the AFL drafting rules at the time, the Eagles were then entitled to a compensation draft selection, which they used to select 16-year-old David Wirrpanda, who went on to play over 200 AFL games. Godden would play a total of 11 games for Fremantle in three seasons before being delisted at the end of the 1998 season after missing the entire 1997 season due to injury.
