2013 Foxtel Cup

[SABRE]

*From 2012 thread*

According to Adelaide Now, Norwood and West will represent the SANFL in the Foxtel Cup. Increased prizemoney and changes to the program made it more appealing

Fuxtel f*****g cup ???
What an insult !!!
Obviously the AFL and Sydney Swans are far too f*****g scared of Norwood, West, North, Centrals etc etc !

C'mon, bring it on ya gutless @rseholes !!!

As much as I love Norwood im sorry to say we wouldnt get within 15 goals of most AFL sides.
The standard of the SANFL isnt anywhere near what it used to be.
I doubt an SANFL club would be able to beat GWS

[G]

What do you mean "you doubt any SANFL side would beat GWS" ?

Norwood or our State team would get flogged as thats how big a gap there is.

Pretty sure Sabre was joking???

[SABRE]

Well it is the off season, what’s wrong with cranking up the Kenwood and mixing the manure ?

But unlike some, I don’t see AFL players as supreme beings. It’s not as though you have to be
a football god to get drafted. For donkey’s years our clubs have seen good useful players here
suddenly touted as superstars over the border. It’s amazing what a crowd of 50,000+ screaming
morons and a Mack truck full of moolah can do to a bloke’s performance.
But hey, they’re still the same bloke.

As any coach might tell a rookie playing on a seasoned veteran, “He’s just flesh and blood mate.”
I keep taking the 2012 Norwood team and adding McGuinness, Campbell and Newton plus half a
dozen blokes stolen by Andy’s circus and I reckon you’d have a pretty formidable combo at any
level. I don’t know all the AFL players other clubs have lost, but I dare say most clubs could field
teams that would do plenty of damage to some AFL egos. Remember too that old adage about a
‘champion team’ beating a ‘team of champions’ when the chips are really down.

Nah, I’m not impressed by the media hoopla. Given ALL our players, I still reckon there’s a lot less
between leagues than most people believe. It's a damned shame we don't get to prove it.

Luv,
SABRE.

Yes Sabre was joking .... he actually believes there is no team in the AFL who could beat Norwood.

[SABRE]

*Edited for accuracy .....

Sabre believes there is no team in the universe who could beat Norwood.

[JamesH]

Its ironic that SANFL supporters, officials and clubs treat the Foxtel Cup as nothing.

If someone mentioned the Championship of Australia series was nothing but a boozy junkett for VFL clubs some people would go mental.

Im sure Kevin Bartlett keeps his two Winfield Medal's stashed in a safe with the premiership medallions.

[SDK]

Never heard of a Winfield medal .... just a Jack Oatey medal !!!

[JamesH]

Winfield Medals was the best player in championship of Australia'

1973 Kevin Bartlett
1974 Kevin Bartlett
1975 Malcolm Blight

[JK]

They come in plain packaging these days

SABRE, are you lost mate?

2012 AFL Premiers say hi...

and Norwood wouldn't get within 25 goals of both those sides who played in that game...

[SABRE]

SABRE, are you lost mate?

Always after a Granny!

That's always (comma) after a Grand Final.
Jeez ya have to be careful around here.

Good luck trying to prove that 'woody'.

The un-AFL wouldn't even take a chance mate.

Nah mate, things might still be a bit hazy but I'd certainly remember
if I was desperate enough to go to the 'Triple P Hotel'.

LOL ...

Sorry mate, I got you mixed up with AH ... say hi for me, good to see he still remembers me.

[holden78]

Despite all the positive talk early on, this season the SANFL CLUBS all treated it with different degrees of difference.
All 3, especially West, pulled up short when it suited them, so proving it to be the JOKE it is!
Part time footballers shouldn't be asked to play in two comps and work/ study as well.

[dedja]

faark, I agree ...
