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.

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)

I’m a “troll” because I don’t trundle with lemmings off a cliff or say “baaa” with the herd?

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.

I thought he was Range Rover. 

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.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
