Senior sports writer at The Age, Peter Ryan, says Noble was told about the decision last night.

“Leigh Adams, who is the VFL coach, is going to be the interim coach for the season,” he told Ross and Russel.

“They’ve only won one game in 16 and David’s record is 38 games, five wins. They couldn’t continue down that path.”
