And everyone thinks the MFC PR department had been a sleep at the wheel, what a beautifully orchestrated positive news story…

    A few passages from the article without copying the entire story. 

    Demons coach Simon Goodwin’s quick thinking has saved a man’s life in Bali, coming to the rescue after the man dislocated his shoulder. Goodwin was in Bali after the end of the AFL season and surfing with mates including 1993 premiership winner Rick Olarenshaw on the island of Nusa Ceningan. The Herald Sun reported that a young man jumped off a cliff into the water but dislocated his shoulder. The Demons coach rushed over to the man and dragged him onto the surfboard and took him to safety beyond the break. Goodwin then flagged down a passing jet ski and helped the man onto it to get him to safety. The father jumped in the water to help his son, and recognised Goody and started talking footy. Goody’s response was let’s save his son first then chat about footy later. Goody showed a lot less bravery when a sea snake came across his path.

    Wonder what the learnings out of this would have been? 

    Possibly don’t jump off a cliff into the sea unless SG is within rescue distance??

    This is a heartwarming story and illustrates the traits of courage,  decency and  bravery we see exhibited week-in week out by  AFL sportsmen. Less so, the sensation-seeking click-baiting columnists feeding off our club at the present.

    See what high level culture produces… 

    Could have turned his back on him, but Goody was there in that man's time of need.

    Omen for the season hopefully.

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.
