Opinion Should we consider bringing Noble back

[Sanders]

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.

Does he though?

He’s the guy who sold Dangerfield for magic beans. And let’s not forget he was only head of footy for 3 years 2014-2016

His time as head of list management wasn’t a glorious success.

And the club believes initially that Burton was a massively upgraded on the old plodder that came before (Noble)

 

[Bearded Clam]

Need to bring in fresh faces, not old retreads

exactly… we already have an unhealthy obsession with looking backwards thinking it will help us move forwards.

it rarely ever does.

Does that article identify where Noble has experienced success?

That's not an article, it's a live interview straight from Leigh Matthews mouth with no coaxing by Gerard Healy.

Adelaide & Brisbane apparently

Which doesn’t exactly say what you claimed.

He also casually states what great success he was at Adelaide.

You mean it doesn't suit your agenda Colonel....

And does it point out where Noble has experienced success?

 

[Sanders]

No, it means I listened to it

Your agenda will be hoping no one else does

 

[Mutineer]

And does it point out where Noble has experienced success?

Pretty clear Leigh Matthews thinks he was key to lifting Brisbane out of their quagmire that preceded his appointment. Now a finals contending team for several years so yes.

By pretty clear, you mean he doesn’t say that at all

 

[Geoffa32]

Noble was good for us and Brisbane.

But I don't think he was good enough to entice back.




Would much rather Matt Randell come back to the club.

I'd much rather neither...

 

[Sanders]

I'd much rather neither...

Yeah, but you rated Nobles haul for dangerfield, and thought Dean Gore was a great get!

Yeah I just checked

Keep trying Colonel, water off a duck's back...

What makes you think I was talking to you? It was for the benefit of everyone else

And you’ve always been desperate for approval, bit late to pretend otherwise now

C'mon Colonel you can do better...

you’re just fishing for attention now.

I’m sure no one has noticed

Why would Noble want to join our rabble?

 

[ftmch]

Neil Balme was a pretty average coach too.

Que?

 

[Sanders]

Why would Noble want to join our rabble?

He’s out of a job

 

[Mego Red]

No - but we should make another play for Neale Balme if he is healthy enough.

Either that, or we ask Blight to come back to the club in some advisory role.

We need a proven winner at the club.

Jesus Christ - why not try to bring in the ghost of Jack Oatey as well?

It might be nice to bring in someone who still has the energy to work full-time.

I would prefer to have a part-time advisor who has a clue than a full-time idiot... but hey, that's just me. Why don't we just get back Chappy who was working a hundred hours of week... so what exactly?!

You clearly think the club has the right people already in place - results suggest you are very wrong!

 

[cleanhands]

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.

How did you come to that conclusion

 

[spenze]

Think we need to clarify here, bring him back as coach or as a footy manager?

I mean at least Noble knows how to tank properly so it'd be an upgrade
