Please look after Johnny F*cking Noble

The weather will be trolling him

Pistol freakin Night is getting excited

 

[Sweeetleftfoot]

So, when do we fire up the welcome thread ?

 

[No SPIN]

Noble isn't as good as Rioli

Noble barely makes half of the "best 23" of 2025 teams in here but everyone wants the world for him

I'd like to see what people in here would be offering if we were trading for him? Pick 35?

How good would Noble look playing at Rich. Rioli was prominent due to a poor list and massive injury list.
So you are massively over rating Rioli based on 2024.

Luke had a go at Lyon in front of the playing group.
Lyon responded with "why dont you go play for another club like Collingwood "

Luke. "OK I will"

True story

Also l will never forget when he went off with what looked like a hammy in the premlim, the Saints fans were mocking him and cheering calling it karma.

Ended up only being cramp, and he played in both GF’s to stick it up them.

Does anybody remember buying the paper and finding out that Ron Todd left us for Williamstown back in 1939? Broke my heart as a kid, no internet those days to rage my disgust for that money chasing flog.

Which was a blatant lie to save face on behalf of Lyon.
Luke Ball left St Kilda because he was offered a bag of chips as a contract.
Lyon had a set against him and humiliated him post the 2009 season.
Ball a former Captain of the club was devastated and never wanted to leave St Kilda.
He was forced out by Lyon.

Ball requested a trade and Lyon then refused when Collingwood made an offer.
When Ball walked and got to the Pies for next to nothing natural justice was done.

Soon after Ball was instrumental on bringing a flag home to the Pies against his old side.

Not long after that Lyon walked out on St Kilda with a year to run on his contract and went to Freo for money.

Really all you need to know about Lyon's character and whether you can belief his bullshit excuse for Ball leaving.

Took almost sixty years for BigFooty to recover

Ross Lyon had no moral high ground - not long afterwards he walked out on StKilda for a great big pile of Freo cash.

I wasn't ready to buy the paper in 1939

Bob Rose retired at 27 to chase better money at Wangaratta

More forgiving than Alex Fevola

I was comparing the pair that GC are after so Houston’s value didn’t enter my thinking. TBH I’m still confused but thankful for the BF feedback as this trading stuff is beyond my comprehension.

My take is that Rioli's value to GC goes beyond footy. They're establishing a second home in Darwin and he is a very good player, an Aboriginal leader and NT royalty.

Early draft picks aren't an issue for them so they can be wasteful with them in a footy sense - however, that doesn't mean that they'll be wasteful for everyone.

Can anyone remember a bigger trade period emotional rollercoaster for us than this one?

We have at various times been linked seriously to Bailey Smith, Christian Petracca, James Peatling, Dan Houston and even speculatively to Clayton Oliver.

Thank goodness for Perryman. He may be all we end up with.

2020 when we lost Treloar, Stephenson (still looked good), Phillips, Atu and our future 1st pick 2) all in dodgy ways. All up they got us a few teen picks and a few in the 20s and 30's. It was a disaster. Cost a lot of people their jobs. Guy, Eddie and Bucks to name 3.

No trade is ever "done" until Dave posts the "Welcome to Collingwood" thread.

No, I was too focused on Hitler invading Poland to worry about Ron Todd.

Can you imagine a 4x B&F winner retiring at 27 like that? FMD

My post didn't mention any names or what was done

Get your priorities straight!

We wants the Houston, we needs the Houston, Stop making us waits

 

[No SPIN]

Unless Carlton offer up 12 and 14...

Their CAP is bulging so I think they’re saving face with their current stance, of opting out.
