I’m raising funds for the Johnny Noble statue outside Olympic Park. To donate, please PM me your details.
You must be joking VP
We can't even get a statue of the greatest player/coach to ever play the game.

I am joking. I just love Noble.
So am I VP.
But truthfully the lack of recognition for Jock who stands head and shoulders above every football person ever to play the game annoys the hell out of me.
He has become one of the most reliable players in the team. He doesn't fumble, tackles like a man possessed, uses the pill well and provides tremendous rebound off half back. What a pick up!

Happy to admit I was wrong about this bloke, two years ago I thought he was rubbish now I can't imagine the team without him. What a bloody gutsy player, so much respect for the way he goes about it
Yeah plays with heart and soul.

Balls not staying in the opposition 50 for any time at all. He and N Daicos are just mopping up ground balls and then sprinting off to receive and get it to a contest on the wing.
What a man.
There’s this popular Collingwood fan on Twitter who is always bashing this bloke no matter how well he plays. Only seems to use her platform of ~10,000 followers to bash Noble and Madgen or lash the club when she doesn’t get special treatment on certain things

I wouldn’t want to be lining up on him if so was an opposition forward.
When he gets it, it’s like watching footy in fast forward.

Even better than his clearing speed when he has the ball is his closing speed when he doesn't.
Electrifying.

Anyone notice how often he and Daicos share it with eachother? They are becoming quite a duo back there working the ball together out of the backline.
Again (as I have said on the Quaynor thread and other threads) it is perplexing that people are calling to put IQ into the midfield and not Noble. Noble is a rover who plays in the backline. He just gets to the contest, gets the ball, and runs forward with it. As good as we've had in the position since Davis and Heath Shaw.

I'm beginning to think that he's really a blonde, with a strawberry rinse, rather than the other way around. That's how he's playing.

Yeah I was saying this the other day. He’s like the adopted brother. I can picture them all sitting at Vanilla eating a souv.
He's pale
He's sound
He's four foot off the ground
Johnny Nobes, Johnny Nobes!
Honestly, Noble's incredible improvement is emblematic of the sort of player development I hoped we'd see under Fly, who is a renowned development coach.
Along with the rapid rise of Murphy, Henry, Ginnivan, Cameron, McCreery, and Daicos, and the second comings of Cox and WHE, we really couldn't have asked for anything more in terms of personnel improvement this season.

He's probably our most improved player this season. He has really cleaned up his disposal and decision making to become a prime rebounder setting up many attacking plays. He along with IQ off half back have been big reasons why we can now attack the game with flair and confidence.
