Love Strawberries, $1 a punnett up here at present.

Feel sorry for the poor farmers.

As for pigs, I had bacon for breakfast as it’s Sunday.

Back to Weetbix in the morning.

Nice passionate post @Woodsie

Yep.
It ceased to be a club when it became a franchise.
Especially this franchise.
Woodsie I don't know his name but the old fella who leads the team song 6 times a year if we are lucky.
I respect him.

The 'old fella' you're referring to HE is Warwick Bulmer and I respect him too - he's definitely got maroon & white blood.
To answer your question @Woodsie I thought of him as soon as I read your thread....there are still a couple around but I agree sadly they're few and far between.

A GIGANTIC PRICK has been found in a Strawberry in Parliament today

Rodney Howe has them.

I didn't realise Stephen Dank had a Strawberry Farm.

PSS .... the above post will be viewed by many as a dummy spit .... it is ..... but it also a cry for help ..... please give me one name ...

A realist my good friend. Great comments, opinion and thoughts. I envy your experiences with those passionate players of old.

You're a good man Woodside, one I'd consider a mate.

Well said.

I have always been a proud, loyal and confident supporter, and always supportive of Manly .... to a fault ..... coaches, players, the club ... everything .... could see no evil ..... since attending my first games as a teen in the 60's, to hanging around the sheds and playing as a lower grade numpty in the 70's, then as a boofhead supporter for the next half century..... I have loved and supported the club ...

But a huge part of that support was always the people at the club and that I had met along the way .... Manly, like most football clubs were blessed with outstanding people .... back in the day the sheds were always full of ex-manly greats that volunteered their time as selecters, team managers, gear stewards, cleaner-uperers or just blokes who liked to hang out ...

We had people at the club to be proud of. Arko, Stanton, Peters, Tennyson, Hunter, Fulton. Ritchie, Batty.

It would not be unusual to turn up to find Roy bull asking kids how they pulled up, Rueb Hudson, Bernie Seymour, Gordon Willoughby, Bob Lenon, Bill Hamilton and many others all just being around the place .... making themselves useful and giving back ....

Today of course there are no volunteers, they wouldn't be allowed in the sheds .... would have to get somebodies permission ....

Which brings me to my point ..... I have been trying to come up with the name of one person at the club in any senior capacity ... that on the 23/09/2018 ... that I can honestly say I like, admire or respect ...... and I can't ... not a bloody one ....

... and with all respect to Gorman ..... if he is your answer ..... if a Cronulla bloke who has been at our great club for less than a year is your answer ..... then we are truly fukked ....

Giving a Centre of Excellence to this mob is akin to giving strawberries to pigs ......

No dummy spit at all
Great post and I agree soul of the club gone.
Imagine 2V’s as CEO and actual owners who cared and a passion for the club, real passion and willing to give 100% effort plus be willing to put in necessary funds and admit their mistakes and take accountability for themselves.

Yeah, would love to see 2V back as CEO ..... and I would settle for owners who didn't give a ****, as long as they didn't suddenly believe they were qualified to run a football club and just left decisions to people who do .....

That does raise the point ..... that whilst I cannot find anybody in the admin side to like or respect ...... there are quite a few of the playing roster that I do ........

Tell me you do this whilst stroking your hipster beard over an olive oil and avocado flavoured craft beer?

Does Beaver Menzies still have that " ambassador role" with the club . Guess with the Black Town connection or affiliation now , would tend to dilute the past Manly player or official participation a bit more. Times do change but i recall just before the North's merger , seeing ex players like Ed Willey for instance mowing the playing field at Brookvale oval in his own time and as a volunteer and i am sure that there were many like him willingly wishing to be part of the club in some capacity also . Same with board selection meetings , pre merger and franchise days and so on . The previous merger and now the franchise transition have again invariably altered this normal and previous ex player and official "s and supporter based participation but naturally and preferably , the more traditional Manly influence still now in club functioning the better of course .
