Because why the hell not...

Notice the packed hill without the cleared walkways. Safer and easier to move up and down of course, but looked better without.

With these measures in place we’ll never reach ‘capacity’. But don’t tell the journos that.
 

What an absolute classic match this was. Admittedly I rewatched this clip just a few weeks ago.

This was the last time Des faced off against Bellamy whilst he was in charge of Manly. I wonder what Des has in store this time.

18000+ fans on a Friday night against an out of town team. Just unbelievable.

We very nearly kept Melbourne scoreless in this match but they scored their only try in the final minute.
 
Re: Eggson’s post:

The simple expedient of building a wide footpath along the Hill’s ridgeline, included in an earlier redevelopment scheme, would probably reduce the need for the clearways up and down the hill.

That could cost in the $150-250k range, whilst we await eventual redevelopment of the Hill. Throw in a new facilities block behind the Hill, which if done properly could be incorporated into a new stand further downstream, and you solve the problem of the ugly beer hut’s removal for the footpath.

Over to our members who attend those regular info meetings.🙂
 
Just thinking a re run could be on the cards. All I say is one in all in, but then I am a member of the Bring Back The Biff league. Reckon the slapping crap they put out is woeful, seen people in Oxford Street hit harder. Interesting to see the Walker second round? Hope he doesn't take the bait, but with Taupau and AFB as my seconds I'd go again.
 
Great stuff

Back in 08 I knew we were winning the comp when we played them at Brookie, and even though I think we lost, we stood up to them, most notably Kite sticking his dukes up and punching on with someone. Smith strolling out of dummy half and Matai destroying him is one of my favourite ever memories

Spot on ....we lost at Brookie ... but remember the same exact moment and knew we had them in the Grandfinal .... it was late ... a scrum broke down ... and michael Crocker the thug came out arms raised to throw a couple ... saw Kitey stand tall and looking like he was prepared to go on with it ... unusaul for Kitey .... but the look on Crocker's face .. and the way he shiite himself and backtracked was a pivotable moment in the who had become the upper dog stakes ....

Yeah ,also recall thinking that Manly finally had the Storm "s measure and could go on for better things in the finals after that late season 2008 match even though it was a narrow loss .
 
I don't think I started feeling good in 2008 until after that St George finals game. They were a boogey team for us back then.
 
The refs initially handled the brawl correctly. They penalised Hinchcliff for the elbow.
They should have left it at that.
Then they incorrectly sent off Gifty. Blair ran off to catch up with him to escalate the incident.
So, in my humble opinion, Malbourne players not only started the problem they caused it to get out of hand.
And that's an unbiased opinion . . .>:)

"Noice"

Also when Matai tackled a blonde burgess legally and sam ran in swinging, everyone was 'oh he's protecting his bro, of course you'd do that'.

But when Brett ran in on Blair: "Ban the ****er for liiiiiiiiife!!!! wah wah I'm a monkey typist!"

I remember that incident fondly for the way Foran ran in and squared up to Sam Burgii though... the lanky squirrel gripper backed off in a hurry when faced with him and an angry Skivvi...
