Game Day: Manly v Raiders [Round 7, 2019]

[Woodsie]

Good to see the cancerous one given the opportunity.
Great game, after the early defensive nerves wore off.

He really had to stand up after DCE went off, and he damn well did !!!
Well done son.

Just shows what Baz and then Dessie saw in him .... kid is all character and a credit to the Manly jersey ....

 

[Jigzkiller]

And we have 'expert's' doubting Des and crokes ability to play first grade.
Apology accepted.
You know who you are...

That's for me I guess? if so croker did nothing to suggest he is better than elgey today.

The people who complain about refs penalty count 13-5 our way in the second half 8-2 our way. To our fans we complain we want Sunday afternoon games for crowd and today on a perfect afternoon we dish up a crowd of 10, 706 not good enough.

Yeah, but neither is Des according to your earlier rants.

Who is this Baz that you speak of? Wise Woodsie?

 

[Ben]

Looks like Elgy back into the side with Croker

 

[Jigzkiller]

Can you at least give us 10 minutes to enjoy the win?
Re penalties that is how it is
Re crowd long weekend made it hard for many to get down

I knew we would have an excuse re crowds the locals always do.

 

[Wombat64]

Now just want the eels to get smashed

 

[Jigzkiller]

Yeah, but neither is Des according to your earlier rants.

I hardly see it a rant to state croker is not first grade.

 

[Ryan]

Where's @BOZO , he'll be pumped and rightfully so.

 

[robbiea]

Do we know why?

I think Croker has been playing balls to the wall the last few games,getting MOTM's.

 

[Kevinward777]

FFS... why does he even get a mention. Today had absolutely nothing to do with Trent Barrett, except to further solidify the sentiment that he was a complete failure.

 

[HappilyManly]

Happiest place on earth

Post #1 updated with the tries etc 🙂

Not sure what they are paying Fainu but triple it right now. DCE goes off where does creativity come from ?
It’s like he plays in slow motion. They just lay off him. The great players have time. He has oodles of it.

Mate, suck it up, you were off the mark, he had a ripper of a game. Football makes a fool out of all of us at times.

I am a local who goes more often than not but was away this long weekend
I got to be honest after that win if this is the first thing that pops into your mind I feel sorry for you- it was a gutsy win that should be enjoyed
Sure there are questions that can be asked but what is the point ? Save that for when we get a touch up

 

[Harvies elbow]

That's for me I guess? if so croker did nothing to suggest he is better than elgey today.

But your point was he wasn't up to standard and we'd lose.
Anyway we won.
I was as surprised as anyone that Des changed a winning team especially in the halves but he knows what he's doing.

 

[globaleagle]

Wow the dream team of average players turned up today. Croker should have his papers permanently stamped. What a fraud

Permanently stamped.....

Smiley face?

🙂

 

[EaglesDontTweet]

What a great side being moulded by Des. Canberra defended well and weren't a walkover.

Haven't looked at stats but felt a big improvement in ball security/reduction in errors this week = more possession = more penalties to us = and more errors to Canberra under pressure and fatigue.

 

[Bring back the.... Biff?]

Hehehe, have to let.you know later bud. Missed the second half. What happened to DCE?

He hurt his ankle... he walked off but had it iced. He watched the game then went up the tunnel lets hope its not too bad.

 

[globaleagle]

Where's the haters now!!!

Back on pages 5 - 6 I think.

I tried reading through the whole thread but the amount of infantile b/s was too much.

Funny to see many of the same drool over the team that 60 mins ago were totally crap and useless.

BUT

The game day thread is full of roller coaster emotions....which is what usually makes it great.

BUT

Now I just wanna read fun and unicorns
