1978 Finals series - motivate these blokes to avoid the spoon

[tookey]

Looking forward to attending the 1978 reunion tonight - hopefully might be lucky enough to get some intel on the announcements #nextweek

Did you have a chat to Wayne last night?

 

[Chip and Chase]

Zorba was calling on Cliffy and Julie Sibraa (as football club) to ensure the club stays at Brookie etc.

Rather amusing. Is this an olive branch of sorts ??

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Must admit I smiled when I read that comment.

Bunch of legends, Max Krillich still looks like he could put a hit on...

Hardly

ZtC was instrumental in the ticket to takeover the FC Board

Plus the many Manly Daily and DT articles of 'the Faceless Men' of the FC Board

Plus the sham MSE Life Membership Award that asked past MWRLFC Life Members to 'transfer' theirs to the MSE 😡

But now the MSE needs to get the FC Members to authorize moving of more games away next season.

Hence the new found civility 🙄

Legends and also Super Heroes . They played 6 straight games in 24 days to win the comp !!! . Talk about a tough winning culture . They don't come any tougher than that . The Super Heroes did not have all the luxury of the modern day extra staff and facilities they have now . Modern Facilities don't make an athlete any tougher . Toughness comes from the culture a leader instills in his men by a affective means of motivation and Inspiration . Hats off to Cranky Franky the ball breaker .
What I have learned in life is that The more you spoon feed people the more feeble they become
Tough times creates tough men
The 1978 Manly men are the pinnacle of toughness
40 years later in 2018 and we have seen a head coach turn his Manly team from fighters into lovers and that is what culture Trent instilled into his team as his players proudly declared their love for him all the way to the wooden spoon without any shame at all .
How times change
