It always seems to be the sides that are successful are the ones who are aggressive and in turn get called ‘dirty’, ‘cheap-shot’ merchants and the rest. Manly and Melbourne have been criticised by every league fan who does’nt support them. Success breeds contempt.

Whenever Melbourne find themselves on top of the ladder – a new ‘chicken-wing’, ‘grapple’ or ‘suplex’ tackle is revealed as the reason behind thier success. Manly are hated by every fan who doesnt support them and called ‘thugs’ for playing hard football. Im not supporting high-shots, but both sides resorted to niggling tactics which provided compelling viewing for all.
In regards to crowd numbers, even if Manly finished first they still would have had to play at ANZ. Advantage?
