The Herald Sun reported that a young man jumped off a cliff into the water but dislocated his shoulder.

The Demons coach rushed over to the man and dragged him onto the surfboard and took him to safety beyond the break.

Goodwin then flagged down a passing jet ski and helped the man onto it to get him to safety.

“While he was saving lives I was catching waves,’’ premiership Bomber Olarenshaw said via the Herald Sun.

“The father jumped in the water to help his son, recognized Goody and started talking footy.

“Goody’s response was let’s save his son first then chat about footy later.

“Goody showed a lot less bravery when the sea snake came across his path.”

It’s a good news story the Demons sorely needed after a horrific end to the season

Having been knocked out of the finals in straight sets for the second time in two seasons, the club has had to deal with questions about the culture after fringe player Joel Smith tested positive to a banned substance late in the season and Clayton Oliver has been accused of bending windscreen wipers on parked cars.

Oliver was also hospitalised after a reported seizure.

Club captain Max Gawn went into bat for the club’s culture.

“I am certainly very bullish on the culture that we have built over the last three or four years, that it can withstand adversity like this and we are able to get in the top four again, like we have in the last three years,” Gawn told Channel 7.

“There has been some stuff over the last few weeks, but I feel like this happens at most clubs – adversity here, adversity there – obviously our adversity has all come at once.”

Kane Cornes disagreed with Gawn’s assessment and criticised the Demons’ culture.

“Can I tell you it doesn’t happen at most clubs, Max,” Cornes said on SEN.

“Can I tell you that players don’t take drugs midweek.

“This does not happen at most clubs. The thought is that okay, ‘All these players get up to this’. That may be true, if I had to guess and I’d be just guessing that four out of 10 players perhaps indulge in this. Some would say more.

“But that would be in the off-season.

“I keep saying this, maybe I am naive with this, but I would be astounded if there are many players doing this a couple of days before a game.

“Max Gawn says this happens at most clubs. Well, no, it doesn’t.”

“At most clubs, your best players don’t have significant issues like Clayton Oliver has,” Cornes said.

“We’ve got the Oliver (saga), then we’ve got Smith, then we’ve got May embarrassing himself at the best and fairest saying that they would have won the premiership.

“I think they need to be a bit more honest about where their football club is at.”
