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.

    Enterthestuie would’ve been a catchy name. Opportunity missed.

    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.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
