I'm actually sick in the guts any time a hot ball is anywhere near either of them...
Sadly, prolly yes... Frampton's been pretty badly exposed this year.
Keane is a bit of a hothead, of course... Wouldn't wanna see him mouth off at the ump and give away a free/50 in a tight PF or GF!
AFL reporting John Noble has requested a trade to Gold Coast for family reasons and the Pies are open to facilitating the trade.
Thanks John for your efforts and your goal against the crows at the Adelaide oval last year in particular. We will miss his run and metres gained but will benefit from his turnovers in future.
What do you reckon we could get from the GC for a John Noble?

I seriously don’t understand all the talk about Keane being a player that we should be pursuing.
Frampton is a better player than Keane.
Unless we pick Keane up for a 40+ pick then I’d let him stay in Adelaide.
Never rated his ability when he was with us and haven’t changed my view watching him at the Crows.

Midweek Tackle on Fox going with Noble to GCS for pick 20, the on trade 20 to Adelaide for Mark Keane
Fully agree no way either are worth pick 20 in all fairness. Paying overs for someone in contract is abhorrent unless they are a bonefied once in a generation player IMO. I’m happy to sell Noble but I don’t want to waste the compensation.
We’re in a race with Richmond though who also want P20 from GCS as part of the Rioli trade.
Who blinks first?

Why can't we talk Lukosius into wanting to play for the pies? Noble and pick 32 for Lukosius. He is exactly what we need.
@Crazypie It'd certainly fit Flys recent comment re pursuing a marking forward during the trade period.
All of a sudden, a forward line of talls in Mihocek, McStay and Lukosius with the smalls of Elliott, Hill and Schultz has some real potency. If we could retain Richards, that's a mix I'd happily take into 2025.

Meh, not too happy with this. We can get Keane for less if we really want.

Absolutely! But this wont happen. Ash for Keane is the deal that works for everyone. Pick 20 for Nobel would be ok, but we must keep that pick or use it only to get a very good player. As many have pointed out, Lukocious would also be a welcomed addition if the Suns were to trade him.

Hind was a semi-serious suggestion. I was thinking in a quick-fix kind of mode. I guess we already have Markov who would be looking at taking Nobles minutes. I know Hind is 30 which is already a big redX. But he does chase and tackle which suits our pressure game. By foot, well... he is averaging 3 turnovers a game.
Anyway, there's worse ideas as a 1-year rookie. That's all I was thinking.
