[Go Sharks]

That's what I thought?

How did you see the game BP?

From up in the Media Centre

To be honest, didn't watch too much of it as there were a few of us from FOOT-e TIMES having a bit of a catch up...

From what I did see, West looked to waste their opportunities in front of goal and, although being a young side, were beaten on the inside pretty easily...

[mighty_tiger_79]

so there wont be a descriptive review on FOOT E TIMES about the match?

I think Big Phil's important may just be the subtext here.

No, not at all, Potsy...

I was just going along with the tone of posts from last night...

Bit of a farce that AFL listed players can play in this comp.
West Coast Eagles Ressies v Norwood Ressies, could get ugly

[the wonder elephant]

Haeding of now cant wait to see the redlegs for the first time since 2012 garand final !!! Young team I know but to see them in wa = awesome

[Pseudo]

Bit of a farce that AFL listed players can play in this comp.

Bit of a farce that they can play in our comp too...

[LPH]

Hahaha... Mark Harvey just called East Perth "West Coast" - never a truer word was spoken

[Jim05]

Lol at the commentators.
"Playing in the Foxtel Cup gets you noticed and 25 players have been drafted from the Foxtel Cup"
And Mark Harvey has called East Perth as West Coast Eagles

[Jim05]

Game is far closer than I thought it would be. Really thought 70-80 point loss

[Jim05]

Half Time
East Perth 6.6.42
Norwood 0.2.2

The effort is there (good tackling) but the skills at times are abysmal gifting them goals.
We're going to struggle to kick more than a couple of goals and it's just a waste of time with such a weak side.

Yeah, dont know why we bothered TBH, atleast some kids are getting a run.
To play 9 debutants says alot about how we have treated the comp, conversely East Perth have rolled out close to their strongest side, the 5 or 6 Eagles players are miles above what else is out there

[SANFLnut]

Another SANFL Foxtel Cup schemozzle. Bugs me that the rest of the country sees our comp this way. These games will get more publicity than this weeks state game. Either try or don't enter it, one or the other. Yes, applies to Westies too

[RB]

Maybe the games should be towards the end of the season, when some of the teams' league seasons will already be over.

[PhilH]

Westies had the issue of no bye after their first game, they were really in a no win situation.

Norwood has no league game this week and only 1 state rep.

[RB]

True. They could possibly have used it to build some momentum.
