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.

"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.

"I always had the ability, it was just going to (take) a bit longer than somebody else," he said."

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.

I’m trying to put my finger on the flaw with this strategy, and I think it might be this:
trade John to Gold Coast for their priority pick
Otherwise, all gets my stamp of approval. :lol:

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.

Good luck to the lad tonight. Two debutants in two games - wow. This time last year we'd played several new kids. Hoping the new faces (IQ and John Noble) might freshen up our team.

A truckie saw him a few hours ago, running along the Nullabor doing about 160 clicks, well into WA.
Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

I genuinely wish him well, but he's far too undersized for AFL footy. Why do will still draft midgets at Collingwood?

He has not got into the game but 2nd gamer Isaac is taking game on

He is trying to link up and move the footy. Give this kid 50 games and I reckon we good a goodie
