Game Day: Manly v Storm [Round 16, 2022]

[bob dylan]

Keppie starting.........FMD we will get pumped. Bet a schooner there's a dropped ball in 1st set.

and two penalties in the first 10 minutes.

I hear ya mate - I think many of us are not so invested this yr - me included. Barely post atm. We desperately need to string a few wins together to fire us all up again. Let's cross our fingers it starts tonite. But agreed, I don't see the point of Shoe coming on when we're down by 20 - that'll result in panic play from the big fella and errors galore. Start him at 0-0 and let's see how we go. (And Go Manly)

What’s really sad is I’m sure most of us came into the season with a real buzz of confidence and expectations. 🥹🥹🥹

The comment he cost us the game ... is a nonsense ... and not once in 10 years of playing football at a fair level did I ever hear it said in a dressing room by a coach or players ..

It is a statement strictly reserved for members of the hill after 10 tinnies, or armchair experts who wish to believe that one incident out of 80 minutes of football is the sole reason for defeat ..

As I consider you neither pissed on the hill, or an armchair expert, I can only think that you don't wish to be taken literally.

Here we go... True supporter... It's why we come on here to be armchair experts & spout crap. 🙂

Spoiler: Ssshhh!!!

I'm quietly confident we will win tonight ....

 

[The '47ers]

Fox banging on about "Battle of Brookvale" jeez imagine if that happened again, they'd soon change their tune. "Disgrace" "Thugs" "Mums won't let kids play"

I'm down for it though 🤭

 

[ALinda]

Off to Brookie...a win will be a super nice birthday gift. Not feeling confident but we live in hope. My biggest concern is Atkins...if we play super disciplined we may have a chance.

Go Manly!

Day five of covid isolation for me. Sleeping on a camp bed in my warehouse office.. Hope I can keep awake for the game.

Which is exactly what I did..

 

[Rafferty]

Hope we smother Pap‘s like we did Drinkwater, maybe we could do it for an extra 7 mins though!

Been away from ST for a fair bit the last few weeks. Certainly a marked lack of enthusiasm towards the team. Sad state of affairs when an hour or 2 before kickoff against the Storm and very few seem to give a flying f**k. Pathetic performance from the club this year.

Yeah I am a bit blase about Manly now in 2022. Those unlosable losses did it for me. Although my mate till has faith in them. Was going off his head yesterday that we didn't snag Lodge and his opinions on a certain centre and winger in the team, have to be censored in public and cannot be repeated.

Hello from HK. Tomorrow we celebrate 25 years of head in the sand governance from fear afar. Our lives are disrupted by a ridiculous over-bearing police force decked out in bullet proof vests and carrying on like pork chops for a supposed one day visit from the god of the north. Nobody here cares except for the 12 brain-washed patriots and the thousands of paid flag-waving employees. I hope the boys can lift tonight and give me something real to cheer about.

If you do happen to stand in front of a tank, blocking its path, make sure you're wearing maroon & white, carrying an Eagles flag - and you'll be ok.

Probably a fair few curled up in defensive position after taking a series of body blows this year, starting with Turbo rubbed out, then losing to Souths because we only had 12 men, and then ripped off by the ref against the Eels, and lastly a 4 minute meltdown v Cows.
That is 4 kicks in the guts for fans because we ride the emotional rollercoaster.
We might be trying not to look but I guarantee we all will!

 

[bob dylan]

Not feeling at all good about tonight even with Munster out.

I feel we will get pumped. The good news is I have been wrong before.

Anyway I will be cheering them on.

Go Manly!

Reuben Garricks birthday too. Do it for Reuben and ALinda !

Team locked in with Burbo as 18th man.

No desire to stand up to the commi.e mafia. They are an extremely intelligent culture, but unfortunately, learned how to control the masses through fear and maintaining power.

@HK_Eagle

Just for the love of Jesu's sweet cheese makers ... DON'T DROP THE FLAG ... if you do you will cop a pizzling on here ...

My main hope for the night is that we don't get bullied and strangled by the Melbourne pack, which is what usually happens when we play these pricks. If we stand up in the forwards and the refs give us a chance, we should be in it.
