They should take a crack. It's just very unlikely to happen and you need to come to terms with that. The way you keep bringing him up suggests you think it's a realistic chance. It's not. It's about as likely as us winning a flag this year.
Opinion Should we consider bringing Noble back

people said the same about Malthouse before he went to carlton.
There's no comparison between Malthouse and Clarko. Clarko is not old and still has the sharpest mind in the game.
And who was coach when Noble was here?
I think kick would have been fine if Carlton weren’t an absolute basket case of a club then.
If he’d been given sometime to start from the start rather than the club looking for the quick fix, he would have done ok I reckon.
I guess what I mean is I'd be looking at someone who hasn't had prior involvement with the club, whether they be a newly elevated guy from another club or a Balme-type
If we're not trying to, we're mad.
Sure, he was a crappy coach. But he'd been out of the coaching game for a long time before that - forming a reputation as one of the best operators in the game off the field. People can be good at some things and less good at others; Neil Balme was a pretty average coach too.

We are still trying to undo the BS that Noble and others created

The leader of the bunch.
We don't need any more Neil Craig era relics at our club, so unless he's changed his philosophies since he last worked for us, then it's a no from me.

Also give Triggy and Craigy a call. Get the whole band back together.
The only guy I would bring back from that era would be Matt Rendell.

I think Burton and Sando comparison with Noble is not a fair. I wouldnt bring back Burton or Sando but Noble has good history when looking at him as a Footy Dept boss. My personal thoughts are undecided. What I do believe though is that we have a problem in our footy dept and we need change. Exactly what that change is I dont truly know. What I do believe is that we arent moving forward. We have no young players shaping up to be elite (we have a couple that could be good players but not elite) yet we have had some great selection options in the draft. The best move we have made in recent years is the signing of Dawson.
I said previously that to me it feels like we are in our first year of a rebuild.
What did we achieve in the decade + that he was with us? He would just perpetuate the existing culture and philosophies that we need to shed.

No, he hasn’t been successful at all and no, he wasn’t part of Tippett or the camp. But he did recruit Brett Burton to the club as head of fitness.
Where has Noble achieved success?
Put in a good word for us.

No one is saying we should bring back those guys. I am simply asking should we consider Noble because our current Footy Managers arent delivering us the rebuild we need. Its like we havent even passed year one. I was under the impression that Noble wasnt part of the problem and he certainly did a good job at the Lions.
I simply want the club to look at all good options out there and at the moment there doesnt seem to be many available. Balme OK but he's not interested. If Noble left on bad terms then forget it.
Randell might fix recruitment but I believe we have issues with player development and our coach has done his work but we need someone else to move us forward.

Supporting this footy club really has damaged some people beyond repair.

I said no
Not because I dont think Noble would be a good backroom guy - but because we need to stay away from these
knee jerk ''lets get him back ' reactions
Anytime someone remotely connected to the AFC is sacked, resigns or retires the call is out ''come back''
No - we have to move forward not ensconce these people into cushy sinecures

The 'credibility' issue Leigh Matthews has with North Melbourne - Sportsday
Leigh Matthews had strong thoughts on the Roos on Tuesday.
Burto was GM of footy for a GF making side. He’s been one step closer to success than Nobleo.

Does that article identify where Noble has experienced success?
