    Funniest ever moment supporting Manly.

    Hey there everyone I would like to chat about the funniest moments we experienced watching Manly games. I can remember Super Max Krilich in 1981, take an intercept on his own 22 against Parramatta and he had clear water ahead of him, all of 75 metres to get to the try line, his legs were going...

    My top 10 experiences supporting Manly

    Hey there everyone, 2025 makes it the 50th year of supporting Manly and I want to let you know what are my top ten moments that I enjoyed the most over this time. Please note that these are games I actually attended. Moment 10: The 1976 grand final win. I was 9 years of age, my Dad started...

    This was our time and our place

    I saw this image on Facebook and it reminded me of a time when the Sheridan Stand at the SCG was our time and our special place. For me the fondest memories are the 1978 finals series where our fans packed out the Sheridan stand and made it our place. This continued until the demolition of the...

    The game has moved on from me and a lot of people from my generation

    I write this piece after attending my 21st grand final day. The day is always exciting for league fans and really anticipated. To watch this game as a neutral made it easier as it is so nerve wrecking when the mighty Sea Eagles are playing. One thing that has concerned me for quite some time...

    Summation of Manly's home and away season 2024

    No doubt there is a definite improvement on season 2023. Our attack in general is strong, averaging 26 points a game is going to win you plenty of games and I believe this will improve in seasons to come. Our defence is something that is a problem, 22 points a game conceded on average is too...

    Integrity once again goes out of the window!

    It appears that the Melbourne drizzle are intending to rest up to 10 players for their clash against the Cowboys! If this happens, its just another piece of the games integrity going out of the window! Their decision now gives the cowpokes an unfair advantage as they are battling us for a 6th...

    This season is where our team has to learn how to be a serious contender!!

    The team has taken some positive steps this season and got themselves into a position to win most of our games. What is so frustrating is their inconsistency and it is why we are at the bottom of the 8 rather than the top 4. Tonight's result was another glaring example that our team is too...

    What will turn Manly from a good side into a great side

    We are 7 games into season 2024 and we have enough of a sample as to where the team is? What they are doing well? And where they need to improve? When I saw the draw for the first 7 games, I believed that getting 4 wins would be a pass mark and so far its been an OK start. Tough wins against...

    Simulation in the game

    One of the blights of todays game is the simulation or in other terms diving that is going on. We see all clubs do it, especially when there is a try on and a defender falls over if the slightest contact with a lead runner happens, it often occurs when that defender has either given up or has...

    Game Management

    I've had time to calm down and digest the result of todays game. The team did so much right, played so smart and times and so dumb at other times. All the hard work of the first half was undone by a pushed pass right on half time and the intercept killed the good work. Why on earth were we...

    Vale Keith Barnes

    Today we learn of the passing of Keith Barnes (Golden Boots). Born in Wales, emigrated to Australia and was one of the greatest fullbacks who played the game. A Balmain Tigers legend and leading point scorer, prolific goal kicker who won so many games for the Tigers. Outstanding work as a...

    The indiscipline at our club MUST stop!!!

    Here we are halfway through another season where it is obvious that our team is way behind its rivals in every facet of the game!! What really disturbs me is the total lack of discipline around the club. Right now rumours are leaking from the club about player movements and it is clear that all...

    Trouble within the club?

    I write this article knowing that emotions are high after witnessing last nights game. It seems to me that all is not well within the club for a few reasons. We have a new coaching team that is assessing the entire playing squad and trying to build a team moving forward that will be...

    Good signs so far!

    Trial form is just that, so you don't want to get too carried away and so far what we have seen is a breath of fresh air, the team looks hungry and free of the shackles and playing an expansive, exciting brand of football. I've said it for years that must encourage and nurture young players...

    We are so off the pace of the competition its not funny!

    Like all of us I had a great feeling to start the season that we were ready to challenge for the premiership and after 10 games which is a good measure, it is clear we are miles behind the top clubs. We started the season on the backfoot and the form has been very patchy and every time we meet...

    The power of a few

    It is interesting to see over the last few days how some of the elite players get their way. Latrell Mitchell was rightly rubbed out for 6 matches for his attack on former team mate when the Vermin played the chooks last time. The NRL has caved in and allowed him to return 1 round earlier due...

    Hub locations for NRL games

    I understand that the NRL is considering establishing some hubs away from Sydney to ensure that games get played for the last 8 weeks of the competition. It is clear that we are likely to be in some sort of lockdown for the next month minimum and restrictions will only be eased bit by bit. I...

    Ticket prices

    Like a lot of you, I am disappointed with the prices that we are being slugged to watch footy at Brooky this year. I just brought some tickets for the ANZAC day clash with the Tigpies at Bankwest and I purchased 4 tickets for 100 dollars. I do hope that next season the club really looks at the...

    Football Club AGM

    Tonight I attended the Football club AGM. This meeting was held tonight after the postponement in December due to the Covid 19 outbreak on the Northern Beaches. What was great about the meeting is we had Stephen Humphries, the CEO of the Sea Eagles do a speech and take questions from the crowd...

    My favourite Manly supporter moments.

    Over the last 45 years I have loved this club and I want to start a chat about the top Manly supporter moments that we love. The 1978 grand final winning team will always be the team I love the most. What that team had to endure to win the premiership against all the odds stands out as a side...
