Are you admitting to a drinking problem Jaded?

It took about 10 minutes of cross-examination of Nathan Buckley before they even recognised that Goodwin was in the studio.

Not a problem. A solution.ย

Good Lord JCB , surely you know that beer is ok at the footy and on a hot summers day ....... but ..... for a serious [censored] up ... Shiraz is the only drink for gentlemenย 

A fine drop, I prefer overproof molasses based rum with dunderย and muck fermentation.ย

Is Robbo a jibbering [censored] or am I a mindless drunk ?

A little confused but pretty sure these are rhetorical questions Uncle

He has got worse, supposedly heย use to watch games and drink at a bar in Fitzroy then write an article on it.ย 

A mate of mine personally sawย the physical aftermath the morning afterย a Robbo session, leftย in the front bar of a certain Fitzroy pub he used to work at.ย 
His description of the trashed bar area sounded like something a herd of drunk toddler elephants would leave behind.ย

This isnโ€™t about me being a drunk itโ€™s about Robbo being a dh!โ€™

Stating the obvious twice in one sentence is pushing the Demonland moderators a bit.

I just donโ€™t understand Robbo. Surely heโ€™s not half-sloshed when heโ€™s on air - how can that be allowed? But if not, then how can an incoherent oaf manage to develop such a high profile? Iโ€™m not fussed about him one way or the other, I just canโ€™t make any sense of what I see when heโ€™s on my TV.

Speaking of half sloshed, I heard Dermie on the radio this afternoon. Declared he wasn't impressed with Melbourne, despite their convincing win.ย 

Dermie, I think there were some sour grapes in that wine you were drinking at lunch.?

His articles are decently written (certainly not the best out there) but heย uses a lot of emotion in his writing which suits the HS. His footy knowledge is really poor though which surprisesย me. Iโ€™ve been watching 360 for years and he just always uses phrases such as โ€œtheyโ€™re just not showing heartโ€, or โ€œx team has to make a standโ€ while completely ignoring any technical reasons.ย

I watched the other night and said why are you yelling. Poor Gerard must think I'm just sitting here.ย

You are my alter ego Uncle.ย Sometimes, when the mood takes me.ย 

Alternatively, I find some of your proclivities distasteful, but Iย enjoy the fact that you do not take yourself too seriously. Otherwise Demonland would be very bland and boring. A place inhabited by demon tragics who take themselves tooย seriously is a bit sad.ย 

No-one could take you seriously, thankfully.ย

Not a gReat fan of AFL360 but enjoying watching Collingwood, cCarlton, Saints Suns getting the living suitcase kicked out of them by these guys, as well as On The Couch. Also content to fly under the radar to an extent after the pasting we have received over the last couple of years.ย

That's fine. Goodwin is no longer under pressure. There's no conflict in his current story. Buckley on the other hand... the press always goes the negative narrative.

I reckon itโ€™s good editing or a ghost writer- or both!

He reminds me a bit of Donald Trump, in that he has the utmost conviction in what he is saying (regardless of whether he makes any sense) and his passion draws people into what he is saying (regardless of whether he makes any sense). I couldn't stand him while he defended Essendon's illegal doping program, but don't mind him now. I think he is alot more switched on than how he comes across (with spurring his words and coming across incoherently) and he does ask some good questions and make reasonable observations. I should also add that Trump is a toxic individual and I don't see Robbo in the same light at all.

ย Imagine, a group of higher ups at the Herald Sun thought it would be a good idea making him their Chief football writer for the next 40 years.

And then he gets a prime time slot on Fox Footy , 5 nights a week.ย  Hes probably pulling in a few hundred K a year for all his gigs.

The sooner the sun swallows this planet the better.

News corp presents him as a "man of the people" so if you ever need confirmation of what Murdoch thinks of the general public there's your answer - beer swilling, chain-smoking, incoherent, semi-literate yobbos.

Technically that is one question, and the response might be: are the two mutually exclusive?

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the clubโ€™s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the clubโ€™s perspective, and the teamโ€™s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarksonโ€™s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed โ€” roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.ย  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
