Our Melk and Hibbo crap all over him

Selfish, narcissistic, bog ordinary

Not worth a packet of Milk Coffee (worst biscuits ever)

Totally agree with all of that...

... Except the milk coffee biscuit bit. Have I been living my life all wrong? They're not my fav biscuit by any stretch, but they've been alright from time to time! It's a dunking biscuit. And there's an art to dunking, but not losing the biscuit, because they're not as solid as, say, a malt o milk.

Kingstons are worse, surely?

 

Freo lowballing has all the hallmarks of neophyte football administrators Peter Bell - straight out of radio and Steve Rosich - Dockers CEO with commercial not footy admin experience moonlighting due to staff departures, trying to prove to Freo fans and the AFL community that they have hair on their chest and are tough hard negotiators.

Rarely has an AFL club entrusted its trade week negotiations to 2 more inexperienced staff members.

Will be most amusing if Hogan stays a Dee in 2019 then accepts a trade to the Eagles!

Malt'o'Milk are even worse. And naming those other biscuits 'nice' is the greatest misnomer of all time.

But getting back to the topic at hand, here's a thought. I agree with those who have said not to cave in. If a reasonable offer is not made, then keep Hogan. If Melbourne has an excellent season, JH may be encouraged to change his mind about leaving.

Yeah, Nice are poor.

Haha yeah I took a bit of a biscuit detour there.

Agree with that approach, we hold all the cards, and it would be mighty hard for Hogan to leave us next year after we win the flag!

And we'll get May (this or next year). Win win!


The Dees need to tell Freo to suck a [censored]!

Jesse’s manager should be calling Freo out hear! Ridiculous...

Jesse and his manger should be embarrassed with the way Freo operate. a Freo is making them look stupid.

I would love if Jessie signed a long term deal with us and said he was sick of how incapable Freo were in trying to get a deal done... ? ?

If Carlton players can accept and deal with Gibbs being out the door in a year, i'm sure demon players can too. Assuming Hogan goes all in with that final year and pumps his value, it's a win win.

So you're putting Carlton up as the example to follow??

What I'm getting at is either Hogan hasn't been honest with the club (during season) or the club hasn't been honest with us. Angus and Goody hosed off noise around Hogan leaving WEEKS ago, defending his commitment to Melbourne. Jesse "loves" Melbourne they said. Clearly Jesse doesn't.

Hawks have offered 15 and Ryan Burton (2015 #19, 47 game defender, 2018, 23 games) for Chad Wingard

2 x First Rounders (albeit later) but Burton looks to have improved and is ready made. Port have knocked it back.

Puts Freo's offer for JH in a bit more perspective - not that it was required

Wingard is an elite talent but his production over the last 2 years has been below par for his talent and contract. Turned up out of shape for last preseason. Hopefully its like the OMeaera deal and Clarko gets what he wants without the likes of Fagan or Evans being there to over rule the trade offer. Pick 15 and Burton'd be nice. Hawks fans love Burton and are currently having conniptions at the very thought of him being traded. Of course if Wingard decides to reenter the world of professional football they may forget Burton.

Hear, hear!

Peter Bell strutting around like Napoleon playing to the peanut gallery in Perth. Goodonya little fella. Pfft!

All posturing aside Freo’s endgame here is to get us to agree to 5 & 23 for Hogan. They then trade 11 for Lobb and get the two big men they’re after in the door. 

Our likely final asking price is 5 & 11, which gets them Hogan but risks them missing out on Lobb. So you can see their bind.

In any case, if they don’t [censored] Neale off to Brisbane Hogan will remain a Demon. That much we can be sure of. Hogan goes nowhere unless pick 5 is transferred to us. 

I still have a feeling next year’s first round picks may come into play in the final wash up. 

Fun and games folks. Don’t get sucked in by the ‘mean and nasty’ of it. It’s just business.

Wanting to go home but having love for the club and the players aren’t mutually exclusive. Have a listen to what the boys said about him at the B&F, they all said no matter what happens Jesse will always have mates at the club and they love him. 

I’m sure there’ll be words said but they are professionals and they’ll get on with the job. Plus should he remain a demon he’d surely see it as one of his best chances to win a premiership.

Dark chocolate royals are fantastic (and highly underrated)!  And you can't go wrong with the classic Tim Tam! 

What's happening with Hogan? My computer is playing up and haven't been able to watch or hear the news. It , in my opinion would be a travesty if he left our beloved demons.  He has given so much to us under difficult personal issues.. He is a champion!!

The most serious and factual post in this thread...


Josh needs to get a few beers into a fired up Todd Viney and hand the phone to Todd with Peter Bell on the other end.  A few home truths to the garden gnome should get things moving.

I think Orios are grossly overrated. Gaietys are really good possibly my favourites.

I don't like Chocolate Ripples. And I think Chocolate Ripple Cake is best left to 5 year olds.

Marie/Milk Arrowroots are the very essence of boring.

Family Assorted - abysmal. Especially the biscuits with the yellow (pus) filling.

And the squashed ants biscuits are also terrible.

Tim Tam Turkish Delight is surely the new king of bikkies SWYL?

If you want an awesome packet of assorted, nothing comes close to Griffins. Not sure if they are sold here any more, but jeebus they are good.

If Freo want to include a packet of each with pick 11, I'm sold.......

How about the chocolate Teddy Bear biscuits?

Take a small bite from top right, small bite from bottom left, dunk it in your cuppa and suck right through it, delightful.

I don't get why it's so certain that he's going after the contract expires. As if he HAS to go home. As if, of course that is more important, than the club. Rubs me the wrong way. Especially after Jesse has said that he won't leave, that the going home factor is done and dusted. Obviously you get on with the job, but this is a really bad outcome for us (if he is certain to leave next year) and we definitely should not deal with Freo next season short of them paying overs for him.

Hahaha!!! Don’t mind dunking the odd Ripple myself. 

But NOTHING comes close to a Dark Chocolate Royal.

I stick em in the freezer and then proceed to walk back and forth to the kitchen every 30 minutes for one!

Almost tried Caramel variety last week, but i couldn’t do it

Comfort food while waiting impatiently for Freo to come into the real world.

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
