My passion won't die

[40 nil]

Personally, I'm not going to pay much attention to this current drama & muck raking (life is too short 🙂). Hopefully, we won't lose any players because of it.

I am only interested in the football & look forward to our players gelling and performing well under the new trainers & coaching team. Onwards & upwards in 2023!

@Dan said that to me one year the club had a heap of drama. Basically along the lines of he just wanted to enjoy the footy (the blokes having a crack on the field), and that's it, avoid the politicing and drama.

Really good mindset tbh..

Passion smasshion.
Being passionate about a bunch of pro footy players is not something I waste much emotional energy on.
Until around late Feb early March each year, at which point I become hopelessly affected by every tiny thing that happens to the club.
Go Manly 🙂

So you're just a part-time fan then? It's a much saner approach though @SeaEagleRock8

As pretty much all of us feel, I'm not happy with what has gone down and how it has all played out.

TBH I think the Penn's have been a bit of a cancer on Manly and the quicker they sell to the (hopefully) right buyer, the better.

This won't make me support the club any less. But as fans we have the right to love the club, but ... not like too much ... the owners.

People here have the right to actually like the owners. IIRC most of us liked Max Delmege. God only knows at this stage why you'd want to support the Penn's, but its your right if you do.

Full-time fan but emotions under control on a part-time basis. Actually the only stressful times I experience as a fan are during games, and some of those are excruciating. After a devastating loss I make a big effort to calm the F down. I try to find something completely different to do so I don't have to dwell on it.
It's all about self-preservation, pure and simple.

Haha sometimes the dog gets concerned if I'm watching the game on tv, comes over to ask if I'm OK

I don't have a pet to show concern but my wife does come in sometimes to double check the Will is up to date.

I'll still support, I'll still be a member, I'll still buy merchandise, and still attend games. So many on here have bagged Des, his tactics, his selections, his use of the bench etc etc and now everyone is leaving in droves because he's been punted. I never wanted him gone but like the pride 7 fiasco, I was over it an hour after it was announced. Move on and support the new coach I say. I for one can't wait to bag him

I have no issue with Des getting punted. It's about how Mr Slimeball runs the club. He needs to p1ss off as he wont get my cash anymore. ps...doesn't mean i won't support my team, just not Sea Eagles Pty Ltd

I wouldn't let her anywhere near Seibold then.

Manly till I die. Things could always be done more professionally, but I'll always support the club.

Our dog is pretty happy when the games are on, as there is a reasonable chance I will get kicked out of the main areas in the house into the outdoor entertaining area (its area), to watch the games

I don’t think it’s a case of any of us walking away from the club when it’s clear to me that the Club is doing the damage and creating the rift. I for one have been to more manly games that I can ever remember. To even look at ourselves as where do we stand?? is absurd.

Don't let '4 Corners' get hold of that vision...

Yeah but he kept coming back.

Yep they are currently working on another sequel!

I think the dog enjoys watching my manic reactions to the games (complete with sound effects and loud swearing). It's pretty obvious that it's very entertained by the spectacle.

However, the rest of the family find the spectacle more embarrassing than entertaining. If I was them I would definitely banish me as well.

After some games eg Cowboys 2022 I am confident that the dog gets embarrassed by my behaviour too.
