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 wonder if Michael Warner will write about this tomorrow?

    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.

    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.

    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

    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!

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

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
