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

[giantroo]

 

[Only Forwards]

I like that the door is open for Shaw to come back.

Although I think it would be difficult for him. As nice and friendly as Noble appears to be......at the end of the day that guy now has your job.

I feel for Shaw.....must be tough.

Walking away must have been tough.

The door being open and every party knowing that the door is open is all that is required right now.

If at somepoint the time is right and the fit is right then Shaw can come back. If it's not it's not.

All the tweets:

BB: We are delighted and excited to have someone of David's experience and ability. We were extremely impressed during the interview process with David's knowledge of the game and his ability to articulate the culture he wants to create at North Melbourne.

DN: I'm delighted to be the 38th coach of the North Melbourne Football Club. I would like to thank my family who have been an enormous support for me. I would also like to thank every organisation that I have worked at to get to this opportunity.

DN: I believe the North Melbourne Football Club's authenticity and value set will fit me perfectly.

DN: To our fans, members and sponsors. I'm bloody excited. I can't wait to play in front of you, and for you to be excited to watch us play. There will be frustrations, but I believe there is great pride in watching people and players grow.

DN: I've already been in contact with a number of players over the weekend, and I've been very impressed with their energy and demeanour.

DN: The dynamic of the role of a coach has changed in the last five years, and I've seen that first hand. I've always harboured ambitions to coach, but I though that opportunity had passed. Life is about taking opportunities, and this is one I couldn't pass up.

DN: Watching from a distance, I thought they were a club making some tough calls, but they were a group that knew the direction they wanted to take.

DN: We've got to set a path for long-term success. We've got some young talent, and we are going to the draft this year. I think the list is in good shape, I really do.

DN: I've reached out to Rhyce (Shaw) in a private conversation. I'd like to leave it at that.

DN: It's been a fascinating journey for me. I can't wait to get back into the coaching chair. I want to make sure that the fellow coaches are delegated authority, and that the relationship with players is really strong.

DN: The stick of our members this year was phenomenal. We want people to be excited and jump back on board.

DN: I don't think it will take me too long to move back into the coaching cycle. I'm really looking forward to it.

DN: Chris Fagan was a fantastic support for me. I spoke to him about the opportunity and he said with a big smile, "You absolutely have to go for it." We've coached against each other at many different levels, and now it will be at AFL level.

DN: We have two coaching positions left. We are drawing a list up. We want to bring in some great experience and character.

DN: I had a good chat to Jaidyn Stephenson

, and I do see him in a midfield/wing role. I really like what he has to offer.

BB: Every club wants to win a premiership. Time frames are hard to nail down, and we know we aren't going to get there immediately. But I don't think we should apologise for being ambitious.

BA: Paul Roos is going to have a role going forward, and he will have an input in a lot of different areas.

BR: I don't see my role changing at all with David's appointment. I'm looking to lean on David, as he's been in this seat for a number of years, but my job is to make sure he has the resources to be the best senior coach he can be.

DN: I want to kick goals, I want to score. But I want to have a hard edge, and have a defence that will stand up in finals.

Thank you GR

Loving the fact we had the member Q&A because it clearly outlined the road ahead, the rest is media fairy floss.

 

[shintemaster]

Agreed - 2023 is finals, not top 4 though..

Stretch goal.

For mine if you're aiming at finals you need to assume top 4 if everything works for you.

Yeah fair, I just can’t be f***** having the media point to that comment when we lose 4 on the trot next year.

Easy solve - just do what I do and don't listen, watch or read anything mainstream media say. It's 99% nonsense - and that 1% is an accident.

“I’m not going to talk to you about wins, I’m not going to talk to you about losses – we are just going to continue to learn. We fall over, we’ll get ourselves up and continue to grow and take those opportunities to continue to get better. That is what I can guarantee.”

There are a zillion ways this could've been live-streamed. Instead the audience was reduced to the most eager of an already small sub-group of particularly enthusiastic supporters being able to listen to half of it on radio before they dropped the coverage.

A very poor effort especially for a major club event.

Thanks David for my 1st laugh when you called out Mark Stephens for working the Bulldogs into his first question

Rawlings just exhudes supreme confidence in his role, where he and the club are at as well as how to get where they're going. Completely polite, but completely owning it as well while humbly allowing the coach their role to shine. Super impressive operator from where I sit.

 

[Tom14]

Think Cameron or his partner wanted to live in QLD. Noble also moving was more coincidence.

Charlie was grew up in Mt Isa from memory and went to school in Brisbane prior to his family moving to WA just before his draft year.

 

[DaveyBoy123]

I have a feeling he's going to drag someone out of Brisbane in the next 2 or so years.

Willing to admit the Richard Hinds comment he's long since deleted contributed to my confirmation bias.

Noble's message to members

Noble's message to members
New North Melbourne coach David Noble says he wants to lead a team that makes its members proud.

New North Melbourne coach David Noble says he wants to lead a team that makes its members proud.

“To the sponsors, to the fans and particularly our members out there … I’m bloody excited to get stuck into the job,” he said on Monday.

“We want to be a reliable team that you guys can come in and watch, week in and week out and watch us grow.”

The Roos will go into the 2021 season with a new-look playing group, following the addition of four recruits during the exchange period, and a new-look coaching panel.

“There’ll be some frustration, there’s no doubt about that, but I’ve always believed that one of the great values of a member is for you to watch players grow, align to a particular player and watch them build and grow as they come through,” Noble said.

“When we finish appointing our coaches, I’m really confident that we are going to give you an opportunity to watch us play and walk out of the gates each and every weekend being proud of what we put out on the paddock.

“I’m not going to talk to you about wins, I’m not going to talk to you about losses – we are just going to continue to learn. We fall over, we’ll get ourselves up and continue to grow and take those opportunities to continue to get better. That is what I can guarantee.”

Brady is one of the best things to happen to us in recent memory

 

[Snake_Baker]

I think that a 2-3 years to contention and "major rebuild" aren't necessarily mutually exclusive concepts.

It's all a bit like arguing over Elite, A grade, Star, Superstar designations - what's a major rebuild for me might be normal list turnover for someone else. Some see major rebuild as a 5+ year plan and others see it as a 2 year and back in hard exercise.

Norths rebuild commenced in 2016, and to suggest that it's something we've decided to undertake as of now is just plain wrong mate.

 

[Rod Stroker]

One of the most important announcements and appointments in the clubs history, and no vision for the long suffering members and fans who've just gone through the worst season in the last 40 years.

How could they get this so wrong?

North Melbourne sets ambitious goal under new coach David Noble, including pushing for a flag

North Melbourne has set a lofty target for new coach David Noble despite its huge off-season turnover, declaring it wants to be a flag contender — soon.

North Melbourne wants to push for the top four and a premiership in as soon as two years, chairman Ben Buckley has declared, in a bold vision that Kangaroos officials are refusing to shy away from.

Buckley said on Monday that new coach David Noble had embraced the time frame, which he said gave the incoming mentor “two to three years to get us in a position where we’re competing regularly in the top four and ultimately looking to win a premiership”.

And he won’t apologise for the ambitious objective, despite the club’s dismal 2020 season and 17th-place finish.

“If a club is not ambitious, then it’s really not serving its members properly,” Buckley said.


“Every club in the competition, ultimately, wants to win a premiership, and the best way to do that is to be a consistent performer in the top four.

“Time frames are always difficult things to nail down. But I think it’s realistic that we think in that time period, we should be competing at that level. That’s our ambition and that’s been the goal that we set ourselves as an organisation.

“We’re not going to get there immediately. There’s still parts of the puzzle to put together and there’s foundations to build on. But ultimately, that’s our goal and I don’t think we should apologise for it.

“We have to be ambitious. We have to set our sights on the ultimate prize. Someone like David is realistic about the time frame but also ambitious and will put the right pieces of that puzzle together.”

at season’s end, agreed that the goal was one he welcomed.

“That’s in line with what we spoke about at the board meeting,” he said.

“I love (it) … we’ve got to have that ambition.

“There’s no problem with that.

“The chair made it really clear — we’ve got to get ourselves organised, we’ve got to build a plan that’s going to be long-term, but there’s no ceiling on our group.

“So therefore that’s absolutely in alignment with what we’ve already talked about.”

Noble, who said he had spoken with Shaw recently, will work closely with former Sydney and Melbourne coach Paul Roos — who was the first to make contact with the ex-Brisbane football boss in relation to the role — who the club confirmed would return from Hawaii in the new year to work in a wide-ranging role assisting both on and off the field.

He said he had all but conceded that a senior coaching role may elude him, but is determined to be a coach that “wants to score”.
“But I want to have a hard edge, and have a defence that will stand up in finals,” he said.

Top man Nobes.

DN: We have two coaching positions left. We are drawing a list up. We want to bring in some great experience and character.

This would be refreshing.
