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

Obviously need Kane Cornes to dig deeper into this...

Appropriate user name!

Phone me next time you're going into the surf with a dislocated shoulder and I'll bring the popcorn.

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

But was Nick Riewoldt jumping on top of Joel?

I guess that all depends n whether he was going to drown  without help or not?  Swimming with a dislocated shoulder can be challenging.

Oh no Mono you have said the unspeakable words!


I think this thread illustrates how much we are in need of a feel-good story after the battering we have been taking.

Well done Goody.

And will Damian Barrett have something good to say about Goodwin and MFC? He’s very annoying.

Exactly! It clearly won’t get the level of media attention that the negative MFC stories get, but it certainly should here. It’s a huge deal to save someone from drowning, and it’s far from easy. My ex was a beach lifeguard and he said the hardest thing to deal with when you’re rescuing someone who can’t swim or is in some way incapacitated is that they instinctively and reflexively try to keep their head above water by pulling down on you. People have drowned trying to rescue people in the surf. Goody’s a brave and selfless person.

goody ruining the narrative again 😮

Indeed, how dare he show what a good man he is. Probably more brave than most of us.

No "probably" about it. Playing AFL and then suffering the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune as a senior coach requires a steely resolve.

If it was fly it would be front page of everything. No one wants to roll out a positive story about Goody or the Dees atm.  Doom and gloom or nothing.
 

Well done on doing a great deed to Goody. I’m sure he wasn’t thinking of the media response whilst he was doing his best to help this poor guy.

It seems I have upset everyone by saying "saved his life" might be a little dramatic.

So I retract and humbly apologise to all offended.

I admit the bloke would have definitely died. Painfully. Now fully recovered.

JFK performed a similar feat in WW2 near Bouganville and they made him president. So, I say, Roffey , you are out.

Despite the rising tide of venom aimed at him, Goody remains afloat. And from what I have seen, his relationship with the players remains strong. I still believe that if our stock of forwards had not been depleted at the worst possible time we would have been hard to beat in the finals. Like the board, I'm backing Goody against the media hype.

I dislocated my shoulder while body surfing at Palm Beach a few years. 

I didn't require rescuing. 

Don't worry though ... I survived.

goody getting minimal coverage in media. nothing on 9 news for example.

i wonder if it was any other afl coach ....

Didn't see any thing on 7 either.  Lots of Collingwood coverage of course.

How incredibly weak would it be if we were to sack him now for no concrete reason? the media want us to fold and bow to their circus and demands.

The amount of times the filth have covered themselves up from prying eyes has been incredible over the years.

Can all be handled in house and behind closed doors.

All the media are doing now is fuelling the fire within this playing and coaching group.

No two instances are the same, Bingers. I’m glad you didn’t need rescuing and that you survived. This young man clearly did need rescuing and he’s lucky Goody was there at such a time of need. 

Wait for the next vindictive installment from the usual suspects.

”A besieged Victorian AFL coach jumped off a cliff whilst in hiding from journalists  hoping to share important impartial information, on a remote Indonesian island and was fortunate enough to land near a random surfer who rescued him.”

Media struggle at the best of times to multi-task. I suspect at the moment most of their AFL resources (ie, reporters and producers) are on leave because it's the AFL "off-season". As such, they may only be able to cover one AFL story per day. And the Collingwood premiership cup engraving story would have been planned in advance to make it easy for the media to cover.

I basically ignore him and a number of others. It's all about looking relevant to keep their jobs.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
