Cat Zoom GIF by NowThis


It would be very North Melbourne if we sacked Noble by Zoom, and he was a cat.
 
I'm not suggesting that everyone sits at home and calls in.

If our board room is anything like 90% of board rooms around the country, they'd have a set up that allows people to call in.

I'm suggesting just the one person who can't physically get there does so.
I read that several people are away interstate so it's not just one. Anyway whatever not really the most important issue here...

I've listened to each and every one of his press conferences.

He has refused to acknowledge that forward structure has been a problem for us for his entire tenure. The 'focus on defence' the past 10 weeks or so is, IMO, a cop out designed to buy some time. It's unsurprising that it only cropped up once the media blowtorch on the game plan really started to turn up.

The structural problems in Noble's game plan have been visible since day dot.
Kingy was on to it before Rd 1. (I was still all Pollyanna at that point)

Listen back from 1.00 to 3.40 for some perspective.

 
Ok, I'm just going to throw this out there as it solves two problems in the one hit, "Fabian Francis as our new 2023/2028 coach". Yep it's risky, but it's a win win for JHF!

On a serious note, what worries me is "who will want the position and who suits the position" if Noble is done? We surely can't go down the untried path again, (even though I'm big on Yze) and Clarkson would be the clear #1 on our wish list...... but is it reciprocal?

Is it "Choco?" and I'll be honest, I'm not a fan, but perhaps that's because I'm probably being influenced by what my mates who work in the "AFL industry" say about him behind closed doors..... so that probably means he's a perfect fit???

I really just can't get my head around who the experienced coaches would be, that would realistically be approached for the job or alternatively, interested to approach us to coach? Pyke, Ayres, Leppitsch, Collins etc

I don't disagree with your point there Mastermind but there has been some improvement, particularly in the few weeks before the bye in our defensive method and that is still present.

At the moment we are really struggling to bring the ball out of defence with good method and turnovers are leading to just an avalanche of i50s. The defensive system when we are actually not caught out on these turnovers I think looks reasonable.

Interestingly I thought under the same coach last year we were pretty good moving the ball out of defence but the way we played looks like polar opposites.

I'm not a coach I don't work in footy at all but the devil will be in the detail. Conduct the review and go from there.
Sleevo and TT were really involved in that ball movement last year.
 
We all know it will happen, it’s just when and who.

for me it can’t happen soon enough, hoping this week and we don’t need to know who it is yet.

please no to an untried coach.

Buckley, Choco, or Leppa, someone that give the players hope and direction with a game plan that suit’s their development
 
I know what you’ve been pointing out. Your nob who takes this opportunity to big note themselves.

We’re s**t in lots of different ways. You take this opportunity to act like your a genius for pointing out one of the them.

Congrats mate. If only we had you coaching. What a wank.
Thanks mate. We're all hurting and this won't last forever, please remember that before going all nuclear.
 
He’s talking whole ground defence. Our ability to make opposition accountable. We turn the ball over and allow teams to waltz through us.
These are the parts from Noble which make some sense, most teams get burnt when they turn it over which is why they make such a big deal about lowering the number of and the opposition trying to force them.

I suspect our forward line defence has improved somewhat (with significant work still to do), we just don't get enough entries in the first place to put it on show.

Another game with Noble and others we will making records for the worst performing team in history
Always the innovators ,although in this case would prefer to leave that one to other clubs.

It has to be Choco if you have "mates" on the inside for first hand news about whats happening in the innner circle..;)

Pffff one day we will be great again. We’ll all celebrate. And you’ll let everyone know how we’re doing exactly what you pointed out years earlier.

You don’t kick a dead carcass to see what benefit you can get out of it. Stop inputting your own self importance into everything you write.
 
I want a sacking announcement tomorrow morning

Get rid of this footy admin fraud

There’s no point him coaching out the year, in fact we’ll get the nourishment he loves once we sack him
And I want Jessica Alba in my bed…

These things don’t usually happen until Tuesday/Wednesday.
