TOPIC:

I have added a Foxtel cup category / discussions at the end of the Index listing.

Mike.

Is it top 3 involved again next year or just top 2? We finished 2nd on ladder but 3rd after finals so how do the pick who is in the comp?

Let freeze & the Gummy's have their time in the sun in the 2013 Foxtel Cup mate ...might be their best chance for their first piece of silverware for this century!!

Haha yeh im with you mate, 2 years ago it was too big a distraction from season proper and in the end what does it all mean? Farkall

Well ladies...are we gunna do the sums again? Or do you just want to pick out the periods that suit you??? I suppose that winning a flag this current century makes you club soooooo powerful?

not interested in EF playing in the Foxtel.....the bye is always good for having a rest.....hopefully all my faves can get a gig come Foxtel time....not too sure who SD would play in the Foxtel...their colts were worse than abysmal this year and their reserves well say no more....can't see much depth at SDFC at present....and Kenny seems to think a few of SD better players are seeking new challenges else where, scraping the preverbial barrel me thinks come foxtel time....though I could be wrong?

58.....interesting read this mate.....last 1 year EF 0 flags SD 0 flags.....
last 10 years EF 0 flags SD 1 flag last.... 20 years EF 3 flags SD 1 flag.....since 1934 EF 12 flags SD 8 flags.....hopefully EF can aspire to SD lean streak benchmark of 20 odd years though TBH Perth's benchmark is what I hope the boys are gunning for....legendary stuff just thinking about it!!

Legendary alright! I did a post on FG some time ago:
"Gotta tell you 27, your’re full of crap mate. You seem fixated on our 14 year premiership drought and what a powerful all conquering club you have. Why don’t you have a look at your own club’s past? Premierships - EF 29, SD 13. Since 1960, because the losers of the world want to split history up to suit their own fancy - EF 7, SD 8 (huge differnce here isn’t it?) Hall of Famers - EF 28, SD 13. State reps - EF 162, SD 106. Sandovers - EF 11, SD 11. Flag droughts - EF - currently 14 years (?), SD had runs of 19 & 18years, not to mention your club entered in 1934 (?) and never won a flag till 1961. This is just a quick scan and I’m happy for you to correct me where I’m wrong. I do understand that if the umps hadn’t hated your club all through your history, your success would have been greater. Other than that mate, you’re standing in a cesspool of shite whinging about other club’s stink!!!
I never got any replies other than a sarcastic "god, how am I gunna reply to this one" type of answer, but it's pretty hard to argue against the facts!!

I think you'll find the boys are keen to play in this one. Isn't there a $100K up for grabs?

I heard there is 100K this time, was only 40K Williamstown recieved, and I think 60K for Claremont last year if I remember correctly.

They desperately need to fix the crowds. I'm not sure that by playing Tuesday night will do this, especially playing at Subiaco or the MCG.

The AFL would have been much better to approach South Fremantle about the use of Fremantle oval for the two WAFL teams. I'm sure the lights there would have been adequate for TV coverage.

Similarly, Manuka Oval would have been good if the lights had (have) been finished. Queanbeyan would have pulled a fair crowd I would have imagined.

Mike

Yes, it was 60 grand for Claremont winning last year.
