GNF was way off the mark with Clark.

We'll never know the full story, but I'd say he was completely on the mark with Clark.

No-one inside or outside the club knew that after getting back to full health Clark would turn around and do what he's done.

Now those two comments seem completely at odds with one another.

Look I don't care one way or the other. But if this all turns to nothing GNF's reputation will go from guru to .... well, choose your word.

I find it interesting that at Mitch's wedding on the weekend that Jones, Grimes, Howe, M Jones, Bail where there. If you had completely screwed the club why would both captains be there? Such a strange situation. We could be completely slamming this bloke and it could of been Roo's who shipped him out?

[thevil1 421]

How about GWS gives us Cameron in return for us taking Scully back?

Only if they agree to pay 95% of scully's contract, he'll only be depth for us, & they keep fat phil in Sydney on their salary cap!!!! Lmao

It'll be soo sweet when they start losing players not just cause they're home sick but because of his contract. Still plenty of time left on it for that to happen, especially if they nab griffen.

I must admit, I've also found that intriguing. All smiles at Dawesy's bash as well, looking chummy with Bernie et al. On the surface he has pretty much spat on our club, considering all that's been done for him, yet the players don't seem to mind one bit.

It can be quite frustrasting sometimes being emotionally invested in something yet hardly ever being privy to all the details.

Garlett, Lumumba and potentially Greene eh.

Where's Rudi Webster these days?

[The Hallowed Turf 95]

...... add to that LM, JG and we suddenly have a competitive team.

I've just gone through the AFL prospectus and the only player that could help us with the initials LM is Leigh Montagna. The other players are :-Liam McBean, Lincoln McCarthy, Luke McDonald, Luke McGuane annd Luke McPharlin. Can't see Montagna joining the Dees but the Saints do like offloading veterans to bring in the kids.

[Whispering_Jack 30,107]

So do I, even though I know 95% is BS.

Still, I don't think I will get much work done this week, as I will be glued to DL.

I've done well. Flying out of Melbourne on Thursday and will miss the last two hours of the trade period to land in Queensland a few minutes after it all closes.

I won't miss trade week one bit though. Too much head spinning going on.

GNF has already corrected himself and said it's HL, as in Heritier Lumumba..

No Frost?

I like his potential haha

[Wormburner 674]

Man I'm excited for this week to see how it pans out...Sundays are soooo boring!

From BF, Devastating Boris (Melbourne supporter)

My mate works in the footy dept for GWS but as we all know Sydney is very small and he often gets swans news. He can't say anything more other than to strap myself in for a big week if everything goes well.

[Demonsterative 3,020]

Kennedy and Mitchell???

I can dream....

[Lucifers Hero 39,788]

Ok...if we are to play GNF's guessing games..which clubs need to upgrade their round 1 picks.

1. Hawks gave pick 19 for O'Rourke (their 1st live pick is therefore around 40).

2. GWS seem likely to give up up pick 4 for Griffen (their 1st live pick is therefore low 20's)

3. Brisb and Adel if they give up their respective picks 5 and 10. Adel more likely as they need some youngsters because of 2 yrs of draft bans.

4. Sydney, if the AFL trading ban on getting players in this year and next then they may want picks

5. bombers need picks and us DL don't want any of their players but our recruiters might.

If one of GNF's players has not been mentioned before then I would guess the A grader is coming from the Hawkes!!! If I'm still guessing the other A grader is coming from GWS (maybe the 'downgraded' one if Plan A doesn't come off).

GNF, if you have been muted and we figure it out you will be in big trouble with your source for giving away those initials.

If the initials are just a redherring to confuse us DL's then we will mighty peeved as well!

[Grand New Flag 3,227]

Mate the initials are for the players who have nominated us Jeff Garlett and Lumumba.

Thanks for the clarification. How close were the guesses for the source clubs?

Fairly sure the only initials he has given away are JG (Jeff Garlett), and HL (Lumumba), so he hasn't given anything away there.

[Jesse Christ 2,884]

GNF give us a clue of the club we're talking with most. You can subtly allude to it at least..

You keep saying the trade period ends thursday, but this is on the DL site under trade dates: Friday October 17, at 2pm - NAB AFL Trade Period closes

Am I missing something?

[Jaded No More 68,915]

This is the biggest week for the MFC since the 2000 GF. I have been muted so no names will be mentioned, but if all goes to plan we will end up with 2 A Graders plus pick 2. The 2 players would enter our list as the 2 best players on our list. Roos may need to settle for a less experienced likely A Grader (a Tyson like) but this is not plan A. Don't be surprised if at least 1 of the players gained has been unmentioned on DL or the media. We are the main player in a massive game of chess. Roos is already a legend, on Thursday evening he may have become a God. A Demon God no less.

Have you heard anymore about Dangerfield? Are we still involved in something? Is there hope?

How will I get any work done this week? How?!?!

[Matt Demon 1,418]

Keep the names to yourself GNF, I don't want those filthy reporters getting any info from here.

[Damo 3,356]

I just hope that they dont pull a Dangerfield move at 2:00pm tomorrow.

Everyones phones will beep and buzz.
