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

However, I have twoย 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 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

I know you love me Ernieย 

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?

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

  • GAMEDAY: Essendon

    Itโ€™s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

  • PREVIEW: Essendon

    As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the ย Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measlyย 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?ย  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
