Past Coach NMFC Senior Coach - David Noble has parted ways with NMFC

[Firestarter]

If I'm betting Coach 2 is Noble. Kind of like it, not sure that I necessarily agree with his votes all the time but there is no point giving themselves pats on the back when losing.

Which is why I never believe in (pardon the pun) noble losses. A tight loss in a close contest doesn't get you wildcard entry into a 10-team finals.

Might be the difference in a coach aiming for the top instead of top 8.

An interesting titbit:

First 11 rounds average result:

NM 61 - 97 Opposition

Since the bye:

NM 72 - 80 Opposition

So effectively we are a 28 point per game better side post the bye.

After 11 rounds we had conceded 172.141.1173, which is about 106.6 pts per game.
All other numbers are correct, so we are actually a six goal better team post the bye.

Its about winning the finals. many lessons can be learnt from wins or losses. A tight loss means you likely did many things right, particularly if you're the underdog.

Just off the cuff, Brad Scott front runner at Collingwood.....

All i have to say is, good luck and god speed.

Pssss, could someone insert that airplane cockpit gif....

What a coach, it was over at HT, the players know what he expects of them.

 

[Only Forwards]

7.2 to 0.4 is a huge quarter for a developing team.

We're on the up.

I doubt we win the spoon.

I don't know if Melbourne choking to a draw with Hawthorn, or the draw we got may cost us, after comparing percentages.

I don't think percentage will matter.

Richmond and Adelaide are winnable.

I've been saying it for weeks, we'll break our duck at Adelaide Oval in round 23.

TBQH considering we played so well even off the back to back interstate games with 6 day breaks, I think Geelong down in Tassie isn't completely outside the realm of possibility. Actually having a genuine ground advantage over that lot might shake things up. That said, Geelong have a tendency to just get shit done at the business end of the season and they're in far better form than when we took it up to them for a while at their shithole earlier in the year.

Win all 4. Then bring in Comben Rd 1 next year for a 10 goal debut.

We will be competing for a finals spot next year.

Are you saying McComben goes off injured halfway through the third quarter?

With this team, yes, but I still expect the coming weeks to include quite a few early surgeries where required. It's just logical to be thinking of the next pre-season already.

Could you be coach of the year in a team that doesn't even make the finals? If you are measuring actual improvement within a season, Nobles would have a case.

James Hird already has it sewn up.

All year it was the media - Gerrad and his posse of wet blankets saying "North Melbourne need to take a look at what Adelaide have done. Sure, they're probably 2 years ahead of North rebuild. Helped by offloading some talented guys and going into the draft with a few more high picks - but that's the blue print North would want to follow"

One win ahead of us they are. One win.

 

[Ry009]

This isn't a slight on the last two blokes who coached us, but get the feeling David invests in the entire lists with no favorites, and we're seeing a more even spread across the board as a result.

Seems like our 'minimum standard' has improved greatly in the backend of the year.

Looking forward to see how we start 2022 with the footy department settled and a full pre season under his watch.

 

[Scottroo]

Said it a few weeks ago but he has litreally turned the club around in 6 months, from the players to the back room staff, we are United and working together.

Thanks David it is so reassuring when the opposition kick the ball deep into their forward line we've numbers to compete. Then when we kick in from fullback well I'm still getting use to us finding targets and no longer just bombing it from fullback.

More improvement in less than a year than others couldn't achieve in the best part of a decade. To have Zurhaar, Cunners, TT, Corr, and Perez unavailable and we're 11 points down against one of the flag favourites.

What is not love peeps?

I hate that I had to remind myself of what this is supposed to mean.
