Bye Bye Nobles

[The Nostradamus]

How many more weeks can we here this?

Geelong next week might be the final nail

 

[tazaa]

He’s done taz.

I know mate. Just trying to point out how delusional keeping him would be.

 

[ferball]

It would actually be 4 coaches in 12 years.

It would also be four coaches in the last three and a half years.

 

[Orange Peanut]

The problem with a rebuild is that they take 5 years. And this board has been crying out for a proper rebuild for over 20 years. But as soon as you get what you cry for you can’t accept it and ask for the coach to be sacked, CEO to be replaced, etc.
This board has no patience and was never ever going to accept a proper rebuild. Don’t tell me I didn’t tell you so.

Sacking Noble means we have a 4th senior coach in 3 years. This causes disharmony and is very confusing and a poor look for the club. How can we retain young talent or tell player managers North is the club to play for.

Noble won’t be sacked and rightfully will continue to coach the club for the rest of 2022. Get over it.

Thought you’d jumped back on the train. Haha.

I can see him remaining a few weeks yet.

Geoff Walsh starts this week.

It’ll likely take some time.

I can’t see him coaching beyond this year.

But I’m highly doubtful that he’ll be gone immediately.

 

[Mr Lloyd Christmas]

Unacceptable.

Must be sacked or we are kidding ourselves he is the answer.

 

[Ball Dont Lie]

Can I just say I was wrong. I hated those mid table finishes under Scott winning big time games and then losing the unthinkable. I wanted a proper rebuild. I wanted to get high end picks. Well I have changed my mind. I would sign up to to 11/11 season and finishing 9th in a heartbeat. We have won 9/46 games in the last 3 seasons. That could well end up 9/54 the way this season is going. So yes I was wrong. I wish I was back in here lamenting another 4th quarter fade out as we just missed out on finals by % under Brad.

Get the playing group to do a Big Footy Poll and Walsh will know by Tuesday

No you were right

Even if we didn’t gut the place, I honestly don’t think the W/L column would be that different the last two years.

This was coming for some time.

 

[tazaa]

Thought you’d jumped back on the train. Haha.

The form line just can’t be ignored any longer. The teams sitting 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14th on the ladder we have played all in the last 6 weeks. We have been belted by all. Not close losses, not honorable performances - just smashed off the park. If we can’t match it with teams having an average season what hope do we have? We have Geelong in Geelong and Collingwood at the MCG in the next fortnight. I seriously worry for the mental health and future for some of our players. They are being coached and managed by a rudderless leader with no gameplan, no ability to motivate and inspire and one way out of his depth. I know the club has so many issues off field but this just can’t continue. We are statistically having one of the worst seasons ever and it hasn’t even gotten to its lowest point yet.

I can see him remaining a few weeks yet.

What timing that Walshy starts Monday after what was our worst performance for the year. We have to respect Walshs time and allow him to do his thing but it’s almost above Walsh and what he brings that the board needs to be called into action and make a call.

He was at the game in Hobart today and told Dixon he'd be interviewing football department staff in the next few days. I'm sure he'll do a thorough job but it sounded like he wasn't going to be observing over weeks, pitching a tent, living in. Maybe some follow up interviews. Might be some Board demand for an interim report

 

[My Left Foote]

Geelong next week might be the final nail

We’ll lose by 120+

 

[Roosurgence]

We’ll lose by 120+

If we are lucky.

Geelong’s down hill skiers will have a field day.

Probably a good time for them to debut a kid that will look like the second coming against us, only to ge dropped 2 weeks later and never seen again.

 

[DunderHead]

Interim coach - I know he’s not been involved in the mens and it would fluff the womens team but I really liked Crocker when he took over for those few games.

Someone to play for.

 

[Kanga1996]

I thought a rebuild was about being shit then slowly getting better,not continually being shit with no improvements.

I think pretty much everyone knows he will most likely be coaching out 2022. A Clarko or Williams appointment wouldn't happen til the season is over.

But we won't win another game this year, that leaves his record a 5-40-1.

If we keep him on, how much disharmony does that cause instead of acting? Isn't that a poor look for the club too? What message does that send to supporters on how the club is run? No sport in the world keeps a coach after that kind of losing record.

 

[CURVE]

Geelong next week might be the final nail

It's at Kardinia Park, so the chances of us finishing the game scoreless is pretty high.

If that doesn't do it, then maybe something drastic needs to happen.

 

[danj]

I’m not denying things are crook in Tallarook but there is no way changing coaches now will magically change anything for the positive and in fact could prove to have even more negative outcomes for the club. Let’s wait and see what happens from Walsh’s intervention.

There is absolutely no way he gets sacked prior to the review being completed.

Something drastic is going to happen before next weekend, it’s going to involve Geoff Walsh half a dozen bars of soap, a pillow case and a visit to half a dozen players whilst they’re sleeping:very stern look.

I am not sure if you are joking, but I agree! I like thinking we have a shot in every game we play. NM has been like that since the 70s. Until now.

 

[Harvs29]

Not my opinion Chad - just what I was told. Don't question your logic at all. I am your way - see the year out makes more sense. Maybe Noble will choose to go knowing he will not get another year. Anyway, time will tell.

The only reason to go early would be if it was felt this would impact the re signing of players deemed core to our future.

Ha! I can definitely relate to this. The good old days hey….
