Well this is depressing. It took me years to find somewhere to talk all things Manly Sea Eagles coz goodness knows none of my mates want to. Then I stumble across this site and thought, finally somewhere I can vent and share some banter. It was great to read posts from people that were (or had been at some point) close to the Club. People like you @Mark from Brisbane were the reason I finally signed up.
But geez Mark is right, it can very depressing on here sometimes. Last night I posted a half joking comment that after reading the 1st half forum comments, I needed therapy. And after just watching the game, I see it's not me that needs therapy. What the .... ??
Despite the negativity, I thought there were enough characters to keep me interested coz heck, I know I don't really add much value. And so it seems to me, the site can't really afford to lose people like Mark.
In fact, Mark is not the first person since I signed up, that has left coz of this. Yeah, before anyone says it - it could be me.
It's true we don't have a team that matches some of our previous greats but I keep reading how the team doesn't give a sh*t, or that we need to get rid of so and so and pull these other great players out of our backsides. Sure there have been a couple of questionable recruitment decisions lately but the slagging off of so many of our players is just bizarre. I didn't see anyone in the team from last nights game looking like they didn't give a sh*t.
Anyway, I'm all for different views on how we play footy and how the Club is run but geez it can be pretty unpleasant on here. So I can understand why some long term members are packing it in. I just find it crappy that in my first season, those people are saying they're leaving coz it's not what it used to be.
Thankfully, it's nearly time for the Matildas!
