Game Day: Storm v Manly [Round 19, 2019]

[Cliffymagic]

Yet all night Kevin Walters was banging on about how great the Melbourne defence was.....while virtually ignoring the amount of goal line defence we had to put in for the majority of the whole game. Even Bellamy in his presser acknowledged how good our goal line defence is.

They were on us almost as soon as first receiver got the ball evey set down near the tryline. Was like st George when they beat us.

Just watched the replay .we got jipped with dce's try in extra time. They ruled Jorge knock on. But clear pass back. Commentors thought so too.

No such thing anymore .... if the ball touches the ground the dickheads call knock on

Was at the game last night sitting in the away bay with the manly fans ! Woow what a game storm supporters were screaming **** at us all game but the look on there faces when they got up and ran out after they lost was priceless !!! GO MANLY

Kinda glad it was such a close game. If had we won by a bigger margin, the Storm would probably use it as revenge motivation to win the next round (game). As it is, they may think 'we were off our game, due for a loss and they only just beat us'. Similarly, I think it is good that last week's game wasn't a blowout score (even though it should have been) as it could lessen revenge motivation for Parra, 'we played poorly, but they only beat us by 12 points'

Disappointed in our result . Did nothing, well virtually nothing for our for/against....... jk

Funny Melbourne didn't use those other two gears Munster reckoned they had, maybe they were low gears.

I think they left the gear in a bag on GI's boat in his second garage?

some radars are hard to destroy.

Thank goodness.

The Storm don’t stand off side it just appears so because of the way spacetime warps around Smith’s fat head. Players further from him appear to be moving faster while those close to him (ie when he is involved in a tackle) appear to be moving much, much slower. It’s simple physics people.

Well, now Smith can take that one point loss and suck it up his black hole.

Thank goodness.

This radar used to be on beacon hill, brookie was literally under the radar.

It was the symbol of my alma mater, beacon hill high.

I challenge the Architect of the COE to build us a radar shaped stand - hilarious if they could 😀

The radar at Beacon Hill was vital for the defence of Sydney
July 3, 2015 5:43am
John MorcombeManly Daily
Halfway up the ridge between the Brookvale and Dee Why valleys, the rocky knoll called Beacon Hill commands expansive views of the coastline.

With such a commanding aspect over the approaches to Sydney, it was probably inevitable that Beacon Hill would one day by used for military purposes.

The hill takes its name from the trigonometrical beacon, called Manly Trig Station, that was established on its crown by the Lands Department in 1881.

The first military use of Beacon Hill was in the early days of World War II.

An observation post was established as part of Sydney Fortress, the city’s coastal defence system on which work had begun in the mid-1930s in response to the rising tide of Japanese militarism.

The fortress was based around batteries of 9.2-inch guns at North Head and Cape Banks, along with six-inch batteries at Middle Head, South Head and Signal Hill.

To detect and track enemy shipping observation, posts needed to be fitted with telescopic position finders, so posts were established at Beacon Hill, Dover Heights and North Head.

The information from the observation posts was transmitted to plotting rooms and data was then transmitted to the guns.

But darkness or bad weather made for poor observation, so the newly invented radar was introduced as soon as it became available.
....
But technology and defence policy were changing rapidly and the Beacon Hill radars were eventually superseded by mobile radars of the same type and subsequently by better radars.

With its equipment becoming increasingly obsolete, the radar establishment at Beacon Hill was finally closed in October 1973.

But its presence had ensured no tall buildings were built nearby because they would have interfered with the radars’ ability to operate to their optimal capacity.

The radars were removed in February 1974. The area was handed over to Warringah Council 1977 and used as headquarters by the local State Emergency Service, Volunteer Coastal Patrol and Manly-Warringah Radio Club.

The council sold the land in 1982 to the Australian Fixed Company, which already owned surrounding industrial land.

The volunteer groups that were based at Beacon Hill moved to Terrey Hills, along with the Warringah Shire Bush Fire Brigade.

So interesting that Brookie was under an actual radar and it was part of a virtual fortress
