Or Noble actually did say this, Vogon, but the trade discussion never went any further. There are shades.

Sorry, but no. Mahoney would have said we'd looked at it but not proceeded. He wouldn't hide it. But you of course can believe what you like, no malice or criticism intended.

Really, sorry, missed that.

Probably wasn't a very funny joke.  Was just amused after reading the last 5 pages of this thread, where every post is "it's not happening, DER".

Do you have two accounts?

Yes.

It's not happening? But my mum's sisters brothers cousin's postie used to barrack for Fitzroy and he thinks it's a 23% chance with a slight margin for error.

I agree this could be the case, I also think some of the posters who claim to have inside knowledge are just narcissistic.

The old reverse psychology ploy.....

......it's the second time i have fallen for it this week!

I stated on another thread that my life was a blur and I no longer really discern between fantasy and "reality".

This thread has been very therapeutic for me - I realise I am not alone.

It may be that the club has some off-field role for him?

[Chris Dawes]    I speculated on this a while ago   If he were to be moved to some off filed assistant coach / mentor rôle would the final year of his (now non playing) contract still be part of the salary cap?

Riddler - I didn't think you were allowed two identities at Demonland.

I honestly think you could get information from the player himself and it could end up wrong.

The only sources I would genuinely trust would be the list managers as they facilitate the deals.

Don't worry Gnasher, sometimes people don't find my jokes funny and ....... sometimes ...... they even get deleted - believe it or not!

Would help if there was actual humour involved.

Not deleted. Just hidden from public view. I like to keep your perverted salaciousness to myself.

I just find it very interesting that the parties haven't shut this down themselves, 

Because there's nothing to shut down unless the media jumps on the bandwagon.

This thread has sure gone quiet.

For those that think GD was lied to you realise your saying the Operations Manager of Brisbane lied to him and fabricated a story about a complex trade scenario and that the same scenario was verified from a separate reliable source.

Personally I don't find that feasible, but each to their own.

I don't have enough time left in my life to waste an equal amount reading a thread with as much substance as this one 

At what point did you realize you were wasting your time? Page 7 or page 15?

Is it possible that you could fall into a similar trap if, say, there's talk of Dunn being traded?

Unless I've missed something, he never said he spoke with Noble directly, it's just that he was the source of the information.

Source- both the new Brisbane football operations manager; and my uncle, fitzroy great, Brisbane scout and father of current afl captain. Oh and for any sceptics which I'm sure there are, this is out of the mouth of both.

Fitzroy great and father of current AFL captain = John Murphy?

David Noble = BL Operations Manager

He clearly spoke to one. If it was John Murphy who had spoken to Noble who was Murphy's source why would Murphy lie?

What do you think is most likely?

 

PS: It would be very funny if it happened!

Fair enough, I missed all that.

A few people here out to dry here, if something happens our way.

I'd say this is Mahoney doing negotiations really well.

Bris probably said to Melb, up your offer cause we have other clubs interested.

Mahoney, merely saying, "meh, he's a nice to have, you can keep that toxic captain if you really have other buyers".  Leaks something publicly to state we're not interested which is semi true/semi false.  

Your move Brisbane as to how desperate you are to offload the biggest problem to your culture re build.  Come back to us if you want to talk.

Melbourne saying...be great if we get him cheap, but we're also non plussed if we don't get him.  

Just my take....or...we may have never been interested at all.

To all those who constantly call for a thread to be closed (and I'm not picking on you Abe), may I remind everyone of the third post on the first page of the thread now entitled WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - JORDAN LEWIS.

These are the immortal words of deefella -

“Should close Thread”
