Foxtel Cup 2014

[JK]

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

Good post, totally agree, annoys me aswell. I don't have a problem with my club resting it's players for SANFL purposes, but they should have just passed on playing in the comp if that's their priorities instead of dragging down national perception of our comp.

the fact that we dont put our best sides on the park in this competition is just as much a farce as the reserves teams being in the SANFL

I dunno, this competition never really meant anything to anyone anyway.

At last some excitement

Why are Norwood resting so many anyway when their next match is nearly 2 weeks away?

[Big Phil]

Rumble in the Tunnel, Round 2 !!!

Where's Bass, Jace and Collo?

[PhilH]

Did they take the Ardath / NFL cups this seriously in the 1970;s / 1980s ???

There is a fair few who need freshening up and are carrying slight injuries or knocks.
Also the fringe players were rested because the ressies are playing Saturday so the club decided to send over some U18's.
Also dont want to risk injury in a fairly meaningless comp id imagine

I spoke to Ben Warren pre Norwood v Eagles game and he mentioned to me then they were taking a pretty inexperienced side over, mainly due to number of 'senior' players that were unavailable due to work commitments.

That night I spoke to Ben at half time of the Reserves game, in which the Legs' seconds side had lost 2 players to injuries, from which Dugga commented on the fact it would mean another 2 under 18's lads were going to get the call up...

OUCH - the East Perth player copped a knee to the head from a team mate - stone cold knocked out !!!

Hope he is okay...

That's an example of where the comp can hurt, hope the EP lad is ok

Yes, id imagine plenty of players cant get time off work.

Ouch. Hope that bloke is OK, hate seeing that to any bloke in any team. Nobody deserves that.

thanks for a score

Not too bad in the second half, but East Perth missed quite few opportunities.
Still not a great look for the club or the comp.

Would prefer to see a mini-comp post season (like there used to be), but can't see it happening.
