The teams involved are also representing their League which is of benefit. I think that it has already highlighted some of the teams that people might not be aware of. Arent the TV viewing figures of the two games played so far around 30K and 20K? Thats pretty good going.
Actually I am surprised that the WAFL and SANFL didnt try their own top 4 final system years ago that involved the best from the two leagues in a playoff system. Any promotion of your state comp could only be a good thing.

Problem is mate is makin the wrong people aware, now that you know who Morningside are from watching the foxtel cup is that going to help them out in any form, are you planning on taking out a Panthers membership, or spending money over their bar.
Im not having a go mate but a lot of people are saying that the exposure from the Foxtel Cup is going to be brilliant for these clubs BUT i dont think thats the case at all.
Especially considering the sponsors logos are so small on the guernsey you struggle to see them on t.v anyway. I mean can anyone tell me without going back and checking who Morningside and Nt Thunder had as there makor sponsors.

Can't hurt either.
How many more times are we going to hear your same arguments against this comp? Centrals chose not to participate, so move on. You get to play North the week after they play in Brisbane. Will be fairly embarrassing if you lose that game.

Not according to North. Playing in the comp isn't detrimental to their finals chances. So has no affect.
According to Central it could be detrimental. Logically, if Central lose (and Central) are right, then they just would've lost by more, had they participated.
