Goody Saves a Life in Bali

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.

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

    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.

    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: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
