New North Melbourne coach David Noble believes he and his new look coaching group will be able get the most out of the players on game day.
“We have to be consistent with what we do on a regular basis,” Noble said in a special Member Q & A.
“The game plan that we want to put in place, we want to kick more goals. I've sort of made that public. We want to defend really hard.
Noble spoke in his first media conference of how he resonated with North’s values, and he expanded on that in the Q&A.
“I mentioned this at the committee and to the board, the genuineness, the authenticity, the spirit, the Shinboner, is embedded in our place from a long, long time ago, and that really resonates with me,” he said.
“It’s no nonsense, roll your sleeves up, excuse the French, but get shit done. I'm a doer and we want to get that stuff done.”
Noble was full of praise for his former Crows’ colleague, Heath Younie, who has recently joined the Roos as an assistant coach.
“He (Younie) is a double thumbs-up,” Noble said.
“He's probably the first person that I targeted. I just love Heath's ability to develop the person.
“He's got great acumen around what good looks like. Our players will be really blessed, I think, to have Heath come on board. He's got a great wealth of knowledge.
“He's a teacher by nature and he's a teacher by trade. He's straight, he's direct, he's caring, and he'll challenge our guys to get better.
“Having someone that I know works in that space really well will help us.”
