[Jen2310]

Good luck Johnny. Will forever be a collingwood man. Pack some sunscreen.

 

[leon123]

I sincerely hope Nobes goes well, Im sure he will be missed by team and supporters

 

[Scritchyscroony]

JfN best of luck. One of my favourites and really sorry to see him go. Will always be a premiership player in my eyes.

 

[pablo disco bar]

Liked him from day 1 and gutted his gone

Gonna be hard watching him in other colours


JFN heart and soul player should be a premiership one as well

 

[NMBB]

Best wishes Johnny - go well up there!

 

[The jouneyman]

all the best johnny boy

 

[barrackers]

Always gave his all and worked hard after missing the flag. Was disappointed when I read Noble was requesting a trade, albeit that’s now offset by Houston.

 

[jmac70]

112 games for the black and white.
Go well John.

 

[rand corp]

They are going to love him up there and he will do well

The Whipping Boy thread gives its thanks.

A human embodiment of thomas the tank engine....and let me quote from wiki..

Thomas was described in the opening to "Thomas and Gordon", the first story in book number two, Thomas the Tank Engine, as:[11]

...a tank engine who lived at a Big Station. He had six small wheels, a short stumpy funnel, a short stumpy boiler and a short stumpy dome. He was a fussy little engine, always pulling coaches about. [...] He was cheeky, too.

Funny reading JFN tributes on twitter.
Everyone's thinking what's with the F?

 

[jimmy35]

Would’ve liked him to take a premiership with him, all the best JFN.

Was it Walter who gave him the F part of his name?

Was a Fantastic Servant for the Club and Played important Role.

Got to 100 Games from MSD is Impressive but also gives us Father/Son Rule IF he has Kids and they Gun Football Players

Would not be getting game time with us with Houston now at the Club

 

[WalterBlaknWhte]

That was my first thought.
WalterBlaknWhte ?

Yes

I love the alabaster ranga

 

[Piewithsauce13]

Always gave 100% every time he took the field. Loved his efforts, intensity and grit! Should be a premiership player too. Much more deserved than someone else!

All the best to him and hope he goes well, apart from when he plays us!

 

[FromTheBoundaryLine]

Huge admiration for JFN he’s the type every club needs somewhere in their squad. Go well you Collingwood legend

 

[TheGreatSwan]

Johnny F'n Noble. You'll be Collingwood forever. So long partner.

 

[PIEWITHSAUCE]

Huge admiration for JFN he’s the type every club needs somewhere in their squad. Go well you Collingwood legend

A good example of why the premiership medal for the squad (even if there was some sort of senior games requirement) could be a good thing.

 

[nahnah]

Yep really solid player. 100 games for Collingwood. Sadly won’t get to see much of him going forward, Gold Coast games are boring

 

[doofdoof]

I may be one of the few, and I don't need all the hypothetical crap about potentially losing if he'd played, but I don't think he should have been dropped. Frankly, it wasn't particularly well handled, especially as he had played 87 games straight.

He has now admitted that it contributed to him asking for a trade. That brought us Houston, which I love, but it still leaves a somewhat bitter taste that a great servant of the club, and true Collingwood style player, was left feeling that way.

 

[Swooop]

So much admiration for the way our JFN goes about his footy.

I’ll really miss him in black and white, always been a favourite for me - as others have said, the epitome of heart and soul.

Wish him every success in footy and life afterwards.
