GAME DAY - Manly v Storm [Round 8, 2015]

[Wombat64]

Probably right mate but who knows, maybe the turnaround can start here.

Expect the worst, hope for the best

New positive Mark 2.0 ....... as much as we all want it you don't really believe they win will do you? Storm 20+

Of course I do......cough cough , all good, Manly by 8, have faith!!

Manly will surprise tonight....just wait and see.

I hope so Kev. I'd love to see them all play with some ticker tonight.

Surely they have to play with some effort eventually ...

 

[HoldenV8]

A lot tonight depends on if Kieran Foran actually plays. I don't mean that he passes a fitness test and pulls on the jumper....I mean actually plays.

 

[mjb136]

Got a good feeling we'll get up tonight.

 

[qldeagle]

As long as it's not 41-nil to Melbourne otherwise my cap is worthless.

 

[Toddgothammered]

we've been in a few games this season just poor decisions and atrocious defence at key moments - when you're playing without luck things normally go against you…BUT every loss brings us closer to a win! Maybe tonight's the night...

Have you watched any games? I don't mean to be nasty or whatever, but you're massively wrong. We've been absolute garbage for the entire season bar maybe 40mins v the storm. The rest of it has been laughable at best. Yes we've copped poor decisions... On occasion they've been game changers but we've not deserved to win a game on merit this year.

And that includes the win against Melbourne sadly.

That's the bit that hurts. We just aren't competing. And that's not the Manly way. I'll take a loss: IF THEY HAVE A GO. I've LOST grand finals, big games personally: I can hold MY head up knowing if given everything I had. These guys just aren't showing any ticker. And THAT?? THAT IS NOT MANLY.

Agreed.

Whats the weather like in Melbourne?

The Dragons game has a heavy hail storm - The Ref just called it off 😀

Watching the AFL Anzac Day clash between Collingwood and Essendon from the MCG, it began to rain in the last quarter but had stopped by the end of the game.

Melbourne weather....stuff this 4 seasons in one day crap. Its 4 seasons in one hour in Mexico lol

 

[mave]

Will we be pushed back given the delay in the Roosters dragons game?

I just watch the body language during the games .... heads are down, no communication, no energy, walking around and just minimal effort. Agree, it's just not Manly. Have a ****en go boys. The young fellas and fringe players have a great opportunity to make a name for themselves but apart from The T's are just not grabbing it by the balls. For **** sake ..... go for it or piss off.

[HappilyManly]

Please just win Manly - we want to love you sanely again

Edit: Just read the Team list - 2v got the Silvertails Memo and dropped Williame, Blair and Hasson 🙄

 

[HoldenV8]

Jorge is back? Would be good if he is but I thought he wasn't due back until at least next week?

Burgess starting with Willie on the bench? Could be a good thing.

No Hasson....there is hope.
