For those wishing for a bit of local colour. The adjacent island of Nusa Penida has the Pura Dalem Penetaran Ped temple, within which there is a shrine for a Balinese Demon. It is amongst other things a place of pilgrimage for those seeking  a safe return journey. 

Serendipitously for the man rescued Goody was there. An offering at the temple may be in order.

 

Tomorrow we will find out that the man who dislocated his shoulder jumping into the water was none other than Joel Smith.

I think Warner will write that it was actually this young man’s time and that Goodwin shouldn’t be getting in the way of the natural order of things.

I was once told by a member of the legal profession when all else had failed there was still ‘karma’ turned out to be true.

I hear it was Max Gawn. He flew from Fiji to dislocate the men’s shoulder in Bali, then flew home to find Clayton Oliver has burnt his house down. 
I read it on Twitter so it’s 100% true. 


“Melbourne Demons coach Simon Goodwin saves drowning man. Eye-witnesses say they’re unsure if Goodwin was responsible for initially drowning the man before coming to his aid.”

With Joel's injury history it wouldn't surprise...

 

Some fine contributions there. Perhaps a reflection would help by some who have been in similar situations as to what can go wrong very quickly.

Course not. It's a positive story

Now we just need Oliver to rescue a dog from a burning building.

Or he could just follow in the footsteps of the 'humanitarian of the year, Maynard', help an old lady cross the street.

As predicted SEN not running with the story.

Glad he helped...but 'saved his life" might be a touch dramatic.

Well every anti Melb story has been heavily embellished 


I have to admit I was in a bit of disbelief when I saw this story, simply because the media are going through their bi-monthly period of kicking Goody and the club.  How dare they allow themselves to be distracted!

If it were Cody Weightman, he’d still probably drop the knee and Clarry would be done for high

Surprised Lachie Neale didn't end up polling 3 Brownlow votes on this

Would have been difficult to swim back to shore with a dislocated shoulder I'd imagine. Don't be negative  about a positive.

I'm impressed he had time to put 3 bets on at the TAB, finish his pot, and get in the water to save the bloke!

Yeah but can he save the footy club??

Yes we won a premiership 2021

Oh ffs, tell the guy who’s still living thanks to Goody that this is a “touch dramatic.”

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
