2011 Foxtel Cup - Off Field Discussion

[am Bays]

Played in Perth, East Perth by 12 goals because it is in Darwin East Perth by 6 goals.

As the Dry Season sea breeze kicks in when the game starts the weather conditions will be the same as it is in Perth in for rd 1 and 2 of the WAFL. Plus East Perth's greater fitness will compensate for any minor acclimitisation advantage Thunder may have. You got to admit TSG, Ewing and S Rioli make Justin McConnell look like Scotty Bamford!!!

The WAFL, VFL and SANFL sides have too much depth through their bottom eight players for the NEAFL, NSWFL and TFL sides.

I think East Perth will win, but I think it will be closer than 6. Lucky the game wasn't last Saturday, as it was nice and still and sticky. Forecast for Saturday is perfect for footy unfortunately.

Ewing and Rioli are not your AFL types are they. Plenty of natural ability though.

p.s. Only hoping the Thunder get up so Westies might have to play up here.

This is not a dig at the PAFC, nor am I trying to stir up any trouble for them. I would be interested to know how much (if anything) it has cost the PAFC to compete in this comp, would they be out of pocket, have they made money from it? The question is valid to North and West also but I'm asking it of Port as they went the deepest into the comp than the others.

[The Sleeping Giant]

Wow. Did anyone else just get deja vu?

[dedja]

only when I can't spell ...

[The Sleeping Giant]

I thought I've you when I wrote that. Kinda creepy hey.

Wow. Did anyone else just get deja vu?

yes....but this is the site for the trolls to discuss the Foxtel Cup.

[The Sleeping Giant]

I don't know what your talking about.

[CUTTERMAN]

Hard to define which is the "on field" and "off field" thread when reading them. Still, I'd be interested to know if any of the clubs made money or lost money by participating in the comp, considering that the prize money on offer was one of the reasons why some SANFL clubs chose not to participate.

[The Sleeping Giant]

I would say no team would have been out of pocket, but I would doubt it was a financial windfall competing in the comp. Someone with a contact at a participating club may be able to answer for certain.
