News Noble confirmed as North HC

[Dylan12]

I think you're forgetting Berry, Hipwood, Gardiner and Andrews.

I don't particularly care for Berry; Andrews on the other hand.

 

[Mighty Lions]

AFL.com.au reporting that Lions players were informed Friday that he was taking the North job.

Today being Friday thats probably on the money. If you mean last Friday, you would think the coach's would have also been told & they knew nothing of it until we did.

 

[iBeng]

Wait, is Neale going to North in 2022?

 

[BRAB]

Sure am, just laughing at all the Lions apologists posting over on the North board having a grand old circle jerk on how great it is that they landed Noble.

Good to see so many Lions fans so overjoyed that another club has benefited greatly from taking the single most important person at the Lions whilst ignoring the fact as to how detrimental it is to the Lions.

I guess I should be cracking the champagne with everyone else that Noble has ****** off and bailed the club.

was the single most important person at the Lions?

In all seriousness, people move organisations for a promotion all the time. Much like Hawthorn extended the courtesy to Fagan when he came to Brisbane, we have extended the courtesy to Noble here. It’s sad to lose Noble but you’re deranged if you’re actually mad at him for “bailing the club”.

Yes today Friday I think - he didn't have his second interview until earlier this week.

It's possible to wish someone well because he's done a good job with us while also being disappointed that he left the club. Many people are able to have mixed feelings on things.

And quit with the "apologists" and "band wagoner" name calling rubbish you insist on pulling out. Gatekeeping on support of a sports club is pathetic.

I'm surprised to hear this attitude towards Noble given how voluminous you are in your praise of ex-Lions players with other clubs. You'd rather fringe players do well at other clubs but not someone who, as you point out, was one of the biggest contributors in turning our club around from a basket case and did more for the club than any of the players.

 

[Tom14]

Expect quite a few of the Lions players to wind up at North in the coming year, particularly the likes of McCluggage, Bailey, Rayner, McStay etc.

No, no, no, fine, no

Hey, I'm not the one ravishing praise on an oppositions supporter base after they appointed the once most important person at our club ignoring what a gaping hole its left our club.

Perhaps I best go post on their board at how ecstatic I am at them appointing him, it might make me feel better.

Do it. Double dare you.

 

[Ceebee]

Has someone not taken their happy pills today

 

[Dalions]

The AFL handed him to us 4 yrs ago and now he has been handed to North to save their misery.
Thank you to Nobes for setting us up for, hopefully some sustained success.
I hope the Coaching game turns out well for him.

 

[Johnny Bananas]

Lol went in the North thread to congratulate them on an excellent appointment and immediately saw perhaps the worst non-richmond poster on this site who took the opportunity to complain about an 'academy monopoly' turning us around. Never change, Norf!

Sure, he's the biggest piece of sh*t floating around BF, but let him have this one, he has had absolutely nothing else to celebrate for 20 years.

The single most important person at the Lions is Greg Swann. Parachuted in by the AFL in the depths of our darkest hour.

This all started with his appointment. Our success on the field, our improved culture, our ability to recruit quality personnel on field & more importantly behind the scenes in the back end of the club.

It was Swann who brought us Noble & Fagan & he will keep bringing in quality people.

Greg Swann is God.

 

[martinson]

Congrats to Nobes ,he's worked very hard and has had a lot of success and fully deserves this appointment.

Now he faces his biggest test. The expectations that North can improve in the same way Brisbane has is a high bar.

The challenge for us is to appoint someone to keep the show rolling the same way it has for the last 3 years.

Please.

Stunned, you are buying that.

 

[martinson]

Please.

Stunned, you are buying that.

I know plenty of people who wouldn't agree with that either.

I don't think Swanny is that involved in the footy side of things.

 

[ZoBlitz]

Might as well fold the club, I guess.

 

[BangyBangy]

Please.

Stunned, you are buying that.

Wasn't a really serious post. Just a bit of frivolity Dylan as I know you can't stand him.

Thought you'd see the funny side.

I should've known better.

Yeah. Just reading your post you sucked me in a beauty as well.

Yet you've failed to be humble and thank him for the great work he's done for the club, or wish him the best for the future, but I suppose that just proves once again what type of character you really are, hope like hell we don't get the likes of you at the club anytime soon.

 

[Brizzys Squizzy]

Would loved to have kept Noble at the club but that's footy, all the best for the future.

Pretty much my thoughts.
