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.

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

    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.

    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.

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
