Make Manly Great Again #Hasler2019
Ok. No bs or sittiing on the fence name you 5 manly immortals

1 Wally oconnell - sat out a year to be a sea eagle
2 bob Fulton - the great man and super coach
3 Cliffy Lyons No explication needed
4 Steve menzies our greatest local product
5 Brett Stewart. The true prince of brookvale
 
In no particular order
Geoff Toovey - pound for pound the toughest league player ever
Cliffy Lyons - 1 word Magical
Bob Fulton - someone shouldve cloned him
Graham Eadie- he was great to watch
Steve Menzies - not just loyal he could play

Honorable mentions
Terry Randall
Phil Blake
Mathew Ridge
Max Krillich
 
You can't leave out Roy Bull!

Too many great players, but try:

Bull, Fulton, Eadie, Randall, Jones, Menzies, Toovey, Lyons, Reilly

Honourable mentions:

O'Connell, Krilich, Thompson, (Ian) Martin, Willey, Stanton, Mossop...the list goes on...

Hasler would have been up there...but it's still too soon!
 
To me every member of each of our premiership teams will be forever remembered as a Manly great. As will a smaller number who never managed that.

Question – is it our greatest ever players? I probably agree with Moondog.
Or those who made the greatest contribution to Manly football? Toovey would come into the reckoning (and, probably a few years down the track, you-know-who).
Is it limited to on-field deeds? If not, Arko would be a Manly 'immortal'.

Strewth!! How could I forget Cliffy? Told you this was hard.
 
I reckon Ben kennedy would be up there for being a huge part in the clubs resurgence.

How about greatest coaches?
 
Way too hard far too many great players, top 10 is easier and most covered on previous posts. Hard to fit in Ben Kennedy BUT without a doubt the most astute buy ever, helped in a big way to create the current culture.

Agree too Mal.
I think Brett will be... one day...

1. Beaver
2. Cliff
3. Bob Fulton - didn't see him play but have heard of the legend.


Not sure about Tooves - was my fav player along with Cliff when he was playing - but have a feeling my opinion could be swayed but current circumstance.

Don't know enough about Roy Bull. Can someone enlighten me?
