We better dim the lights and turn down the heat lamps.

My best mate was a Ranga - Irish - with orange hair and matching freckles - he used to say when tanning that he was trying to 'join the dots' but all that happened was he would burn to a crisp and peel for a week lol.

Players trained indoors today, because there was only light cloud cover.

Jesus. And Noble makes it 6 rangas. We're stuffed.

And even worse, it's going to be slim pickings on the father-son front - no-one wants to breed with a ranga.

Apparently need to be colourblind like this young lass



Or gullible enough to believe the "strawberry blond" crap.

Or this 1.

Adams. Treloar. WHE. All from GWS. No wonder that club is referred to as soulless...

Doesn't look pregnant to me. Everyone looks to graze and try everything in the field. But at the end of the day you don't make your bed on a carrot.

It's only ranga men that are a problem.

Surely they'd use surrogates.

Isn’t that standard practice after a year or so...

 

[Big Bryza]

Has genuine wheels and aerobic capacity. Get the feeling he'll thrive in an AFL environment.

Welcome and good luck, Jacky Noble.

As someone who's auburn I'm starting to take offense here lol.

 

[Markfs]

Fantastic to see that Tom Robertson and Joel think that we've picked a good player!!!! All we need now is for Matthew Lloyd and Chad Cornes to give him the thumbs up and we'll be on a certainty!!

 

[Apex36]

Benny Johnson

Not even close!

Stop pretending that you have feelings

They should carve his big ginger head on to Mount Rushmore after that eloquent speech.

Apparently he "DOESN'T CARE!!!!".
Would love to see how he responds when he does care.

West Adelaide wingman John Noble emphasises the word perseverance when he chats about the challenging path he has had to confront with his twin brother Mark.
Born “very, very” premature, the boys have had to jump, climb and crawl over numerous hurdles ever since medication was necessary just to keep them alive as “quite sick” babies.
The treatment had a side effect, causing asthma and the boys had trouble breathing as youngsters. That put a halt to the medication and slowed their growth.
Then came the legacy of their premature birth and the frustrations of their development being behind kids of the same age. As a 16-year old, Mark says their physique was more closely aligned to someone of 15, constantly being told they were too small.
“We were always overlooked as juniors,” said Mark, whose role at South Adelaide mirrors John’s at the Bloods. “It was not in our control, but we were always a year and a bit behind in our development.

“We were always looked over as being too small, a bit behind with our footy development as well. It was frustrating.
“Everyone’s journey is different. We had a lot of setbacks and just tried to fight it out, that is the way we have been brought up.
“We were told from 21 we would catch up and this year is the most important so far. We are starting to see all the hard work pay off which is nice.”
Mark and John Noble have emerged as class acts in the SANFL and have nominated for the AFL mid-season draft. Picture: Keryn Stevens
Perseverance is a good word. The 22-year old Noble siblings, sons of former Adelaide head of football David, have refused to be swayed from their dreams and ambitions and have never deviated from their mission to overcome their adversities to build careers of tremendous substance.
On Wednesday, they were nominated for the AFL mid-season draft medical screening in Melbourne. It means there has been interest from AFL clubs, who had to put forward their names.
How the draft on Monday night turns out is a mystery. There has been little, if any, interaction with clubs.
However, the fact their names are on the draft list is a reflection of their character and a reluctance to find short cuts in their search to discover their potential.
“To not be selected for any of those junior pathways was hard,” John said. “We just kept at it and perseverance has helped in our journey.
“I feel like I’m starting to understand my game.”
Growing maturity has also been a keen ingredient in their emergence as quality acts in the SANFL, while John also gave the AFL scouts another glimpse of his talents in the state victory over the WAFL in Perth.
That rising maturity was no more evident than the round six contest at Noarlunga Oval when the Panthers rescued a sloppy first half to over run the Bloods. A quick handshake and “chat later” was their brief engagement immediately after the final siren.

John and Mark had always been extremely competitive. But that chat later meant a review of the game and their performances, toning down those competitive instincts to become allies in their development.
“This year we have been helping each other a lot,” Mark said. “We review games together and are constantly talking and watching vision. After that game we sat down that night and spoke about what we did well and didn’t do well.
“We are definitely more mature and have done a lot of growing up in the past 18 months. Getting our footy and life balance together, it helps when everything off field is going really well for each other and then on field starts taking care of itself.
“Definitely our relationship has grown and that is a maturity aspect And now we are seeing that come through with our footy as well.”
The pair played at the Bloods for four seasons before Mark switched to the Panthers last season hoping to expand his opportunities.
While it was a tough call to move clubs, his game has flourished at Noarlunga and he claims the Panthers have been amazing “for me”.
“Everything we did through the juniors was a good recipe for what we are putting together now,” Mark said. “We feel more confident with our ability and that is paying off on the park.
“The draft is only noise at this stage, I’ll just focus on my footy and whatever happens happens.”

Well, this certainly suggests he is going to give it his best shot. He sounds like the epitome of "Side by Side".

 

[Apex36]

Apparently he "DOESN'T CARE!!!!".
Would love to see how he responds when he does care.

My favourite bit was when he said ‘I think I’ve said all I wanted to say’, and then doubled the length of the video saying and yelling more stuff.

Oh, and blaming South Park. Like, people didn’t hang shit on rangas/gingers before that episode was made....

They should carve his big ginger head on to Mount Rushmore after that eloquent speech.

It could have actually been Trump after accidentally using red rather than burnt cheeto coloured hair dye.
