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

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 gentlemen 

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

Im a self admitted [censored] pot. So my judgement is impaired 

However, I have two questions

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 he use to watch games and drink at a bar in Fitzroy then write an article on it. 

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

This isn’t about me being a drunk it’s about Robbo being a dh!’

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

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

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

Im enjoying their salty tears

His articles are decently written (certainly not the best out there) but he uses a lot of emotion in his writing which suits the HS. His footy knowledge is really poor though which surprises me. I’ve been watching 360 for years and he just always uses phrases such as β€œthey’re just not showing heart”, or β€œx team has to make a stand” while completely ignoring any technical reasons.

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

I know you love me Ernie 

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

Alternatively, I find some of your proclivities distasteful, but I 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 too seriously is a bit sad. 

No-one could take you seriously, thankfully.

You should see me when i'm mindlessly drunk!

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.

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 it’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.

 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.  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.

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

  • GAMEDAY: West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win β€” something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

  • FEATURE: 1925

    ο»ΏA hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the β€œFuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
