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: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
