Game Day: Manly V Eels [Round 4, 2025]

[lsz]

Yesterday was pretty grim weather wise but then lightened up in the morning. Today it has been on and off showers so far so would not think it will be a "dry" track

 

[Rackets]

It sticks out like dogs balls , this is set up for a massive upset , the journos are salivating at the thought.

Can you imagine the stories tonight and tomorrow from the various media outlets.

Manly’s season gone
Player rift causes loss
DCE and the rest of the team big fallout
DCE to be stripped of Captaincy
Mestrov claims no ill will between club & captain
Is this “ Rainbowgate all over again “
Should Jake take over as Captain
The Fortress has fallen

These are but a few , you just know they’ll pinch them out every 15 minutes for about 48 hours.

Honestly those pricks are just sitting back with their fingers crossed for an Eels win

Or, it could go the other way Mark where if we win comfortably and DCE has a good game....well you know the ultimate bashing the club will get and the super stardom accolades he'll get.

Let's get off this DCE garbage and pay respect to the other Manly players who've been forgotten and are trying to win their club a comp. Get out there this arvo and rip the sh*t out of the westie scum. Inflict more pain on their miserable lives.

No difference, they’re already bashing the club now and praising supposedly one of the best halfbacks to ever play the game.

I'm cool with this, as long as we get a thumping win today.

 

[mickqld]

Turbo, wet ground, dodgy hammy. I'd be resting him but considering all the hullabaloo we do need him today.

Lets hope that money jacket goes better than rainbow jersey

 

[davohan123]

Manly by 20-12
Eels yes will be desperate and will make this a dog fight but surely we enough talent on the park to win.
Sunny periods now on the beaches
Won't be a blow-out score win but we will win

Win the first 20 mins, they will surely give up, as is their way.

DCE to have a shocker

Tom to not be a factor

Manly forwards to go MIA

this is all set up for a Manly loss after the week we have had

but don’t worry, Seibs will be proud to lose

 

[Chunkytuna]

Wet or dry, who gives a ****. DCE playing a **** game or good - whatever. I’ll be down there on the hill with a wet arse to watch us get this **** done. No excuses!!!. Time to fuken crush these maggot scum into the brooky turf. LETS FUKEN GOOOOOOO!!!! MAAAAAAAAAANNLLYYY!!!

 

[eaglebuzz]

I'm rooting for DCE until the last time he pulls on a jersey for us, even though he is a selfish prick whose dollar chasing has been a significant impediment to our title chances for the past 13 years.

Once he's gone, he will be irrelevant to me.

Until then, I hope the squad holds together and does their absolute best.

 

[Rafferty]

That’s the spirit, we don’t lose to this mob, not today of all days, the boys will get the job done, have some faith

I will concede the potential for our season to spiral into Chaos off the back of this week’s announcement, is real, today should help banish that thought process or expose it to the fullest extent, however it’s business as usual for me, with a hint a extra steely determination.

It can’t be any other way, I hate these blue and gold knobs and our home ground is back on track to being the fortress, can’t wait for the game to be honest.

 

[Rackets]

No difference, they’re already bashing the club now and praising supposedly one of the best halfbacks to ever play the game.

Agree danny-boy which is why I'm hoping we beat the slime, and DCE has poor game. I want the win to be about the club, the playing group and not just DCE.

Oh hum ..mmm...it's not as if we're coming of a big loss or something, we're coming of a slashing Faders win.

 

[DanielTurbo888]

Yeah I think DCE will be looking to dominate out there today and we have several players close to career best form so we should get around 7 tries if the rain is over with

 

[ManlyTragic]

WOW ... what a pleasure to come on to the home of Manly supporters ... just to read the miserable, defeatist, woe is me ... crap.

It would be more encouraging to go on the One eyed eel forum.

Some of you sad sacks need to gird your loins ...

RIP in Manly ...

Ouch!

 

[Budgie]

Turbo, wet ground, dodgy hammy. I'd be resting him but considering all the hullabaloo we do need him today.

Someone has to win it for us and, stats suggest, it won't be the halfback

 

[The Royal Soup]

Oh hum ..mmm...it's not as if we're coming of a big loss or something, we're coming of a slashing Faders win.

that’s right but it’s been a week from hell and we are raging favourites…… re a mentally weak team, I’ve seems this show many times over the years with Manly and i know the ending

It's 7th v LAST...currently, after today, possibly 2nd.
