"He and his brother Mark (a South Adelaide player) are identical twins who were born premature, and John was "a bit ill" as a child, requiring him to take medication that prolonged his physical development.

Or, come trade time, trade John to Gold Coast for their priority pick....but send them Mark instead (handsomely remunerated to keep mum on it). Then we draft Mark (ie keep John) at around pick 108.Woods wrote:Was mentioned in Buckley's press conference today that Noble is an identical twin.
So the club should abduct the other one and rob him of parts to repair Johno if he gets injured
Brilliant piece of recruitment that. Like buying a new suit with an extra pair of trousers.

Part of the reason I was hoping to see Noble play last week was that I suspected his debut was going to be this round if it wasn't against Hawthorn.
Fair to say that outside of a final he's been handed the most difficult first game scenario imaginable in season 2019.
Hopefully his rapid rise from playing SANFL just 6 weeks back will give him the confidence to meet this challenge head on.
Good luck kid.
