2013 Foxtel Cup

[therisingblues]

Final scores please.

Well done Bloods! First South Australian side to reach the granny of this comp. Assured some prize money now, how much for winning/losing the Foxtel Granny?
What was the crowd like? It'd be good if they got a few thousand for the Grand Final, I reckon supporters of all clubs should get down there to cheer them across the line sort of like we all did for Woodville when they made the finals back in the mid. 80's. It's a good chance to show the rest of Australia how we value our local comp.

Well done Bloods good win. Reakon they might just collect that 100k.

Game over
West 6.7 43
Claremont 3.8 26

Thanks Blood Bath.

Grinded out a win. Not the greatest football by both sides. Top win by West Adelaide Kicked goals when they counted and shut Claremont out of the game. I will take the win and I may head over for the Grand Final.

Head over for the game? I thought I just read it's being played at Footy Park.

I live in Victoria. I wish I still lived in Adelaide I would have been there tonight. It depends on cash and work. Yes the game is at Footy Park

Runners up win $50K
Winners $100K

Will certainly help the club knock off some of the debt

Great win boys. Terrific to see us get to grand final. Most top clubs now using this comp as a chance to develop the Top 30ish players on their list rather than their best 22. Has probably helped to prep some of these guys to play league footy and therefore been good for our club. Will be interesting to see how strong the GF side is with respect to our more senior players.

Well done Westies. How is the host club decided for the GF

Agree. Was a great to see young A Anderson (who has played 2 League games to his name) take on Paul Medhurst.

At least 8 senior players that could play in the GF depending on how match committee sees fit, with Ferguson, Tippett, Bricknell, Green, Fielke, Silverlock, R Anderson, Hartlett, plus Keough and Moran also in the mix

I didn't get the exact crowd figure but one of the gate officials said over 800 attended which is a record for the foxtel cup (Minor round anyway).

I liked the look of two debutantes in Favretto and Dijksman (Winner U18 medal last year). BUT I thought Macreadie was outstanding followed closely by Tuck.

Mangan was outstanding in defence and I thought Beechy's game was great too.

[Mark_Beswick]

Cant argue with those observations tkr
Webby rucked well against their big men.

It was good to see some supporters from other SANFL clubs there cheering for Westies hopefully some more will come out for the GF.

[Mark_Beswick]

Agreed - saw quite a few from a variety of clubs - Like the old days where you would go and support another SANFL club when they played an interstate team. I remember barracking for Norwood against Geelong at F/Pk well before the crows were thought of. I know I went to a Port Magpies game and barracked for them (I cant believe it in retrospect) when they played a trial against a Vic team t footy park in the good old SANFL days as well.

Good to see Westies boring the crap out of a national audience.

Bit like Saturdays boring 51 point win against the Eagles

Whats peoples thoughts on Travis Tuck and the possibility of getting another shot at AFL level?

IMHO clubs would be crazy not to throw him another opportunity if they're happy with his off-field lifestyle.

He has been very good for the Bloods both on and off the field but lacks a little pace for the AFL.

I agree, but I reckon he might make up for that at the higher level with size/height/strength.

Would have thought he'd be ideal for a club like Melbourne or GWS who might want some bigger bodies around the ball.
