It was only a matter of time but David Noble "has parted ways with N0rt"
Is that a polite way of saying he was about to be sacked or has been sacked?

"DAVID Noble will step down from his role as North Melbourne coach on Tuesday, midway through a season that has delivered just one win from 16 games.
Noble and the club reached the decision after a series of meetings on Monday, in the wake of North's loss to Collingwood on Saturday, which was its 14th defeat in a row
The decision will be announced at a media conference at Arden Street on Tuesday, where Noble is expected to attend. "

Yep it's no surprise. I remember thinking a couple of weeks back that I bet these pricks sack Nobel right before playing us at Marvel. We're their GF ::).

He was sacked.

Resisting the urge to dream big, we set a simple benchmark – improve on last year, compete consistently against the teams around us on the ladder and play a brand of football that challenged the competition’s best teams.
Put simply, we have failed to live up to those expectations, and that is why we have agreed to end David’s tenure as coach.
The next step is for Leigh Adams, our VFL coach, to take the reins as interim senior coach.

Add that to a young, talented and exciting list, and we can confidently look to the future with optimism and belief.

If Norf reckon they have a "young, talented and exciting list" then why are they begging for a priority pick :wallywink.
