The Manly Way

[Ryan]

Surely people aren't complaining about this? Jeez, I'm waiting with baited breath for the next episode each week. Honestly, the club as a whole are moving forward in almost every area in leaps and bounds (ownership, management, coaching, amenities, the team, media).

We are really, REALLY close to breaking out of that middle of the pack core, and progressing to contender status. A few tweaks, in a few places with recruitment and retention, and we are there guys.

Next two years will have multiple huge earners coming off contract. We manage this right, we may very well be in a golden era again.

I’m very happy 😊 just think it’s fluff and never complained about a lack of information. Do I have to think like you about it?

Can I respectfully suggest that you attempt to think like the young 17 to 25 year olds ... that do not have the vast life experiences and education you possess.

I'm certain they will get more from the messages than my jaded 73 year old arse would.

Certainly beats the 10 burbies, 10 sit ups and then 10 beers down at the brookie hotel after training in the 70's.

That’s a really great point that wasn’t lost on me…like I said earlier, I enjoyed it and will watch the other episodes…I also thought Beaches was a great flick that really entertained me…but it sure was cringe 😂

although ... we were fairly successful back in the 70's ... perhaps we should bring the burbies and beers back ...

Yes, Woodsie.......someone who've I've always personally admired. More deeply, more strongly, more abjectly than anyone before. A man, no, more than a man, a god! A great god........

 

[Captain Moondog]

@Woodsie all bull**** aside great to see you back.

 

[Sheikheagle]

Good to see you back woodsie. Us old bastards need to stick solid.

I'd love to know the rough demographics of the sites members.

For no reason other than my own curiosity.

Beauty of the internet I guess, you never know if you are in a big football discussion with a 14 yr old or a 94 year old.

Be careful with any personal information here Disco. I've had people interfere with real life situations. People have involved themselves with work. Mutley was making inappropriate comments about my kids and wife. Others with threats of personal harm. Give them nothing.

Same. It might help me make sense of why my opinion that the Manly Way series is a bit cringe, is so impactful 😁

 

[Ryan]

Yeah mate, using their actual names , talking about sexual acts he was going to do to them. How they got their personal names is beyond me.

 

[Disco]

Oh, dont me wrong, I've no interest in individuals details.

More interested in the site wide skew.

Like are we 14% 10-20 yrs old, 29% 21-30yrs old, 26% 31-40 yr old etc etc.

As I said, for no other reason over than my curiosity

This is disgusting, sorry to hear you went through that.

I've softened a LOT over the years mate. Don't get in those tiffs anymore. My view is no matter the facade you see about human beings online , no-one really knows what people are dealing with in real life. That's why I absolutely try not to be personal (even about players)..For example, imagine a struggling Josh Schuster reading some of the comments on here a year and a half ago. Someone I love very, very much @NREagle has been such a great role model and support for me over the years, which of course has made things so much easier to manage and control.

For the record :

40-50
