2012 Foxtel Cup

[CENTURION]

Son, "Why does Port have half its regular side missing?"

Dad, "Because the South Australians treat this competition with utter contempt & shouldn't have bothered entering it in the first place, in fact, you probably won't see them in it next year."

[CENTURION]

Haha, nice thread title. Just wanted to check, was it edited when Westies lost by 100 points to reflect that debacle, or is some one ( mods or admin ) that immature to just change it because it is Port?

give them time, it's early Sunday morning still.

West at least lost to a team from a football state not the bottom club from Queensland. Doesn't how much "spin" you put on it Port disgraced both it's own club and the SANFL.

For so many people to think this competition is a joke and still get to 18 pages of comments on it is interesting.

I think Wests decision to send the ressies to WA was poor and I think Ports treatment of Morningside also got the result it deserved.


perhaps the foxtel cup should be done in the pre-season and then the other clubs can be involved in a round robin pre-season tourney

i like the concept of the comp, it needs a bit of work i believe

We enjoy a good laugh!

You keep saying this, but still don't understand that the comp is for Foxtel to be able to show more football during the season.

[The Sleeping Giant]

I guess what the result does prove is the football standard in the NEAFL is better than some think.

well then play the games midweek

[stampy]

why dont we embrace it? perfect chance to prove we are the no.2 comp.

i for the life of me cannot understand why west and port have entered it this year and then treated it with utter contempt, can someone explain this to me please?

[Psyber]

perhaps the sanfl should ask the clubs to vote on the following proposal
the top 3 clubs of the season are automatically entered into the foxtel cup, regardless of their own interests?

I'd want to see that rejected unanimously.

Three questions:
1. What percentage of SANFL followers care about matches between non-SANFL teams other than AFL?
2. What percentage of those have Foxtel?
3. Who would benefit apart from Foxtel from that authoritarianism?

[mighty_tiger_79]

or just scrap the whole concept

[Apachebulldog]

Scrap it its an absolute joke.

Apologies if I'm mistaken, but didn't the Foxtel Cup match start at 11am, whilst the Port v Carlton AFL match started at 7pm yesterday ... WTF???

What was in between? ... putting the tarps up?

No most of them were up but clearly someone from the SANFL got confused in the pre-game setting up of AAMI and put out the B&W training cones early for the Power warmup!

Your thoughts on Ports performance Booney?

[topsywaldron]

I keep hearing Salopek played well.

One Club must be very happy, $5K well spent.

Cause Fox Footy had to cover Geelong/GWS then Crows/Freo - with the Sat twilight game now in play the gap is now closed to fit it in at a reasonable time.
