Reply respected.Yes I think we've already seen manoeuvering going on. Doesn't hurt to ask, still have to negotiate in good faith I think we've been doing that recently.
Can't match you for efficiency

You're a good sport. It's annoying when circumstances mean your man is seemingly disrespected, Rioli is obviously a star and would improve any club.
Is Richmond loading up picks this year? Seems like the right draft to do it, reportedly a great pool and very deep, lots of clubs jostling to get into the 4 given how even its been recently.
The Pies are scratching around for picks, I'd say its 99% likely we trade Noble but its also likely we get slight overs due to circumstances: not because its the Suns, just because they need reliable run and defense.
Usually when a player nominates a single club it ties the contract holder's hands a bit more.
Its hard to see what Hardwick sees in him. Looks bog average and is the sort of player you can't wait to finish off his contract so you can delist.
Good run and carry, provides defensive pressure and puts he's body on the line, 26 does it
Doesn't get injured. Fast with good running patterns His body use to be weak but he has put on some good muscle over the last 2 years, which means his tackling and evasion has gone up. His disposal has improved slightly but still a bit of a weakness. Should be good for 75-125 games.

If you compare the pair, his stats aren’t too dissimilar to Rioli.

If John Noble gets the Pies pick #12 then we need to fold the suns.
Are you AFL? This trade period will be fun.
shouldn't be possible as that 12 should be going to the Tigers for Rioli, if that 12 is still available, let alone used for Noble (because they've used 6 for Rioli) then we should fold the suns
Does not matter what anyone thinks other than the Suns who are offering him 4 year contract and they see something in him. So ask for 12 they counter with 26 and the Pies settle with 20 deal done
Plodder, 3rd rounder at best.

I’d imagine 12 could be on the table for Noble and a future first.
Something like 12 and 26 for a future first, Noble and pick 51.

Did you watch Geeong v Collingwood this year? Close to our best with 800-odd metres gained, 150m more than anyone else on the field... It's weird you can miss him with that hair.
Is not worth pick 12 outright but 20 or 26 are close. They get pushed out to 25-30 in any case
If he's leaving Collingwood those hideous tattoos are going to look out of place in his new home.

John Noble is not a star but has become a very reliable player over the past few seasons. Gives 100% every game, runs and carries/attacks well, defends well, decent disposal. Every team needs players like him. Craig McCrae is shattered to lose him.
He didn't make Collingwood's 23 for the grand finals last year. So I doubt McCrae could be too disappointed.
No one has any idea who's in Carltons best 23 for a grand final for the last 25 years. He played about 23 games last year and every game but 1 this year. He is around the mark for our best 22.

No need to doubt, he was on SEN a couple of weeks back talking about it:
"Johnny came in and told us the he wanted to request a trade to Gold Coast,” McRae said on SEN’s The Run Home.
“It was really difficult actually, I felt really compromised. Sitting there and listening to Johnny, and I won’t share everything, but when he said my dad’s up there, my mum’s up there, my brother has just moved up there, amongst other reasons.
“I’m a family first guy. We have family first as one of our big cultural values. So he says that and I’m like, ‘Oh god’. He’s got a two-year contract, he’s one of our best-performed players this year and I’m going, ‘Hang on, you’ve got family first which is a moral dilemma for me, I don’t want this guy to go, he’s not disgruntled’.
“He’s not disgruntled and he understands he’s got a contract but he wants to make certain choices around moving closer to family and other things that have been put in front of him.
“So we’re sitting going of course we want to support your family but we’re not in a hurry to let you go as a footy club because he’s such a value to us.”
McRae did reiterate that in order for Noble to get his wish, the Suns must agree on a trade that satisfies the Magpies.
“I said to John that I’ll leave it up to the others to see what that looks like,” he added.
“But I’m just letting you know mate, we’re not in a hurry to let you go. It’s going to have to be a pretty good deal for us to decide this because you’re on a two-year contract, we don’t have players cued up to play the roles he plays.
“Like I said, he’s not disgruntled. He understands if it doesn’t work out he’s playing with us next year.”
Pick 12. You know it'll happen. GC don't need the pick.

What exactly does Carlton’s best 23 in a GF have anything to do with your response?

He was the one who got us rolling mid year when we went on our streak.
He really creates alot for us and gets things moving in games especially late when in comeback mode.
I would be pretty happy to keep him as we have nothing to replace him with, closest is Markov who doesn't run and carry anywhere near the amount Noble does.
