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.

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.

HEADLINE

’Goodwin plays god - should he decide who lives and dies?’

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

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.

Course not. It's a positive story

As predicted SEN not running with the story.

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

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

 

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.”

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
