While the biscuits have been removed from this thread, we seem to have been left with a few that are crackers.

    had forgotten that Oprah co starred in that movie. It was mainly Whoopi who is remembered for her role and nomination as best actress.

    Oprah did star in Beloved.

    No biscuits as I recall in either movie.

    On SEN this morning Watson said that Freo don't want to make the same mistake they made with Bennell. Hmm interesting comment!!!!!!

     

    I think this has become a "Chinese Whisper'" 'old dee'....

    My take was that Watson was trying to figure out why Freo had pulled out of the Jessie deal.

    He thought that maybe they were running scared after the Bennell trade, they were jumping at shadows.

    For those taking potshots at Watson (an easy target) I didn't hear him as saying Hogan was like Bennell at all, just that he couldn't understand why they wouldn't want to get Hogan over the line.

    Like many of us he is a bit perplexed at the way they have handled things.

    They were both in it, but Soap Oprah is trade steak knives as far as I'm concerned.

    Just imagine that big buffoon BT calling out Whooopppiiiee when she goes for a mark....

    Geez, now even Whoopi Goldberg is being brought into it.

    Where does she fit into the trade moves?

    Cryptic reference by D’Land to the trades being d(r) eadlocked.

    I believe there is a reason rjay but like the rest of us it is unknown to us mere mortals.

    Two things are strange to me.

    - Dees put up no fight to keep him

    - Freo very interest and have chased him for years then at the 11th hour pull out.

    There is a reason we just don't what it is. I could guess but the laws of the land prohibit that action.

    setting a high price and saying they were just as happy to keep him, suggest there is some fight

    but at the end of the day who knows what to believe

    i still think their no1 option would be to retain him on a new long term contract. the window is open and the mfc need to get going now not at the end of 2019

    it would seem jesse wasn't prepared to accept no1 option so this is now playing out (and good for the club being strong)

    Demonland hasn’t changed much. A few very good and sane posters but still too many fanboys (and girls) who get hurt derrières when confronted with sober assessments and clear eyed analysis.

    Hi Stuie!

    What do you mean put up no fight to keep him? Fremantle made an offer and it was rejected. What would you call that?

    This idea that the club is desperate to rid themselves of Hogan doesn’t seem based on anything but hearsay. Although I understand it fits a (predictably) negative narrative.

    The club has stated quite clearly that this has move been driven by Jesse himself.

    I've never been good remembering the nuances of posters, but is there a bit of E25 about this old new poster ?

    Too many players in limbo:  Neale, Hogan, May, KK and possibly Beames (Lions won't let him go if they don't get Neale).

    Freo causing quite a log jam so something needs to happen soon. 

    Anyone ready to guess when the AFL will get involved and kick Freo into gear or call in the mediators for the Neale and Hogan trades.

    The egotistical style is similar. stuie was more of a pedant. 

    Didn’t mind either of their work. Small doses though.

    I always wondered if RR was Yze_Magic resurrected.

    Melbourne isn't really looking to keep Hogan. We could just as easily suggested he just play out next year etc. But no he's on the trade table. Discussion about the "price" is part of the game, not so much a "fight" in the sense of "hands off our Jesse"

    Has ETD gone to bed in the last 4 days?  I feel like there hasn't been an hour gone by where he hasn't posted something, and even in that time he's said absolutely nothing of note.  Extraordinary.

    • 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 return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      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.
