OMG!! Greenburg's gotten to you hasn't he Dan?? You can't change this site to a Bulldog supporters forum! How much has he offered you?? I'll double it, tripple it, whatever you want. You can't leave us Dan!! WE LOVE YOU DAMMIT!!!
Dan wants to keep the site name but we can't have it anymore because the Bulldogs are now the Silvertails. He's trying to get the best of both worlds.

I understand the sentiment behind a boycott of the game, but this is the one game where we need to really show our support for the boys.
How would the players feel if no one comes to support them in that game, and also it would give the Dogs supporters (and the media) the opportunity to throw around the crap about Manly supporters not traveling to support our team.
I think a bigger message would be to get 20 - 30,000, or more, Manly fans out there and drown out the Scumdog fans.
Not giving them money is hardly going to hurt them anyway.
This is right.
Next year we must achieve 4 things:
1) Beat the Dogs at ANZ in Round 8
2) Beat the Dogs at Brookie in the return game
3) Beat the Dogs on the table and make the finals
4) Win the GF. If it's against the Dogs, even better.
I don't care if my money goes to the Dogs. In the end Manly probably get 1000 fans out there every time. That's $25,000. Not much in the scheme of things when the 20,000 Dogs fans make up $500,000 (so 5% of revenue). Instead, we can go out there in our droves, turn it into a Manly home game and go home with the 2 points, then do it again at Brookie. Yes they get our money, but we got the better of them on the field.
For a club that gets $4 million a year from their leagues Club, $25,000 is pocket money. No Manly fans? No challenge, they can be as loud as they want. I think boycotting the game is the most stupid idea I have heard on here in the last week...well except for Bones getting a Chihuahua.
