Goodings's break in media came in 1963 when, after working as a panel operator at Melbourne radio station 3AW, he went on air Christmas Morning to fill-in for the sick presenter.
The weekend bulletin previously presented by John Riddell was consistently beaten for many years by National Nine News Adelaide, then hosted by Georgina McGuiness.
He hosts a web video show called "Snapshot with Graeme Goodings" about local people and places in South Australia.
He regularly gives talks to cancer support groups, is a board member of ProstateSA and constantly promotes the need for men to take charge of their health.
The comments led Port Adelaide Football Club Chief Executive, Keith Thomas to send an email to all Port Adelaide members on 22 July criticising Goodings' comments and reflecting on the true meaning of the showdown following Walsh's death.
