Foxtel Cup 2014

[Go Sharks]

I won on the over 111.5 pts but only just in the end. Went down to the last minute.

I didn't think West were that bad

[Dutchy]

Just go to show how much footy is played between the ears, the Storms attitude and hunger for the contest was way superior to West who wanted to play free flowing footy.

Now there are no byes I think this concept is dead for SANFL teams

[dedja]

Dunno Dutchy, what if the Crows and Port represent SA next year?

[Jim05]

this storm side is hardly going to trouble West. West will win easily. They wouldnt beat PNU

LOL

Any crowd figure tonight Phil. Looked a few inn the members on TV. 1,000 ?

That wasn't worth the price of admission. These sorts of results are embarrassing for the SANFL really. It's one thing to say West Adelaide put in a weak squad, but multiple times their players squibbed the contest and the Storm were harder at the ball all night. Foxtel cup games between WAFL and VFL sides are generally really good to watch but the SANFL are just letting the comp down. If you don't want to play in it, refuse the invitation.

0-4 and a loss to a TSL side, great start for Mark Mickan...

And the reigning Foxtel Cup champ, who got there by thrashing a VFL side and beating 2 WAFL sides, is... ?

losing to tasmanian sides?

[BoundaryRider84]

Shit game to watch on TV. How bad did west adelaide look, when they had to win they just pushed more numbers around the ball to make it harder to get a clear possession. Go figure?

[Red Rocket]

So Mickan was outcoached by a playing coach

[Dols]

They say you need to hit rock bottom, well surely this is as low as they can go.

[mighty_tiger_79]

Westies weren't interested in the comp this year and it showed on a couple of fronts

[johntheclaret]

Not to contaminate this thread, but presumably there's a rule (for the future) that AFL reserves teams are persona non gratia?

I think the organisers are keen to let the crowserves play because they guarantee a crowd in excess of 4000...

Pop and thee goes another thread

[Wedgie]

Don't forget the Western Storm were undermanned too, I didn't see the Honey Badger or Billy Slater out there.

[Go Sharks]

The TV ratings of the game beat the MKR grand final.

[Big Phil]

BP, BP ... are you there?

Sorry mate, got washed away with the heavy rain

[Go Sharks]

How did you see the game BP?

Can West Adelaide still win the Foxtel Cup?
because 1 of the betting companies still has them at $9 today
