Hi all,

As a Manly Sea Eagles supporter, I would just like to say congratulations on your win against us last night. The better team definitely won on the night as Manly just didn't turn up to play. They were like stunned mullets or roos in a spotlight. I haven't seen such a poor performance from Manly in such a long time and that was evident from the first set when Choc dropped the ball cold. They were their own worst enemy and basically handed the game to the Storm on a platter.

Anyway, I would also like to say that I don't like any of the teams left but out of all of them, I hope that you guys go on to win next week and win your second legal premiership.

Good luck :)

You guys are better than that. It blew my mind seeing how many silly, basic errors were made.

yep nacho...the atmosphere was truly spine tingling.

Even hearing the "Melllbbooouuurrrnnne" chant on the replay last night and again this morning gave me goosebumps
Yeah, that Melbourne chant was awesome. When that started up, I took out the Sportsears so I could really let it soak in.

I headed under the new decking across the street to get back to the MCG car park and all the cars waiting to get out there were going nuts on the horns - like they were ringing cowbells and chanting Melbourne. That was awesome.

It was great hearing that after the game.

It feels strange post on here as have not been on here for a while

I must say, The Atmosphere was 2nd to none last night.

It is so over from Manly's 1st set of 6. It could of been 60+ to 12.


The miracle is......I never bagged the ref during the game. My Brother made me a bet at the game that I could not have a go at Archer during the game and then we argeed for all refs. I must admit now that I now have a few dollars at the moment in my pocket.


Yes the Ref were a Disgrace and Harrigan has to go and get someone ala Geoff Geichsen(Spelling? in.
