[ME SO HORNBY!]

Manly are f**king woeful. They won't win anything this year.

 

[Danish]

Can someone explain to me why in he pre-game show, the entire panel couldn't stop talking up how great Foran is.... But now in the business end of the game they haven't even so much as mentioned him a played that needs to step up and do something?

I swear to god for someone who gets as many wraps as Foran does no one ever seems to expect him to actually do anything

 

[gypsy]

Wtf how did they not go for the field goal

Because the chasers rushed up and were 5m offside. Poor gutless refereeing.

 

[Meth]

Morris man of the match.

 

[Walt Flanigan]

That wasn't a good opening to the finals. Looked like a trial match out there.

 

[mongoose]

Very unimpressive from both sides. The dogs were easily the better side but too many silly mistakes and penalties.

 

[Dragon]

Oh yeah Foran did sfa, and as a result DCE tried to do too much

Foran has not been anywhere near his 2011 form even accounting for his injury. The fact is the Nine guys don't watch a lot of games.

 

[shear_joy9]

well that was a shit game

week 1 of finals should only be elimination games imo

 

[abpanther]

Amazing how bad Manly looks in attack

 

[Masoe_eats_babies]

The game wasn't the best quality but the aggro throughout made it a finals game. I enjoyed it.

Yeah good point, he was quiet in the last 20 mins a lot of pressure on DCE

 

[Oldboy]

Hate the fricken Bulldogs. Always have. I hope they all catch leprosy.

 

[dogslife]

If you can't outplay them, outgrub them

 

[Jason Maher]

f**k Manly blew some opportunities in this. Hopefully the Cowboys can show them out the back door next week.

No offense but that is the dumbest idea I have ever heard.
