Plenty of ball-winners there and decent scoring avenues.

Looking at the stats etc, the clubs with no reps don't have any VFL-listed players good enough.

CRAP Goldie !!!

Names?

SANFL squad has just landed in Melbourne and are due at Port Melbourne around 2:30 for a run on the ground.

Less than 24 hours until the first bounce

Congratulations to Sam Pleming for being given the captaincy duties. As for the foxtel cup comments - very true that the prize money is good - its hard to fathom why some clubs don't take it more seriously when theirs $100,000 up for grabs that in some cases cab be won by only winning 3 short games. Probably the easiest 100k these clubs can make.

Games looking good on TV. Not there because of a family commitment. Love the way rep team games tend to just try to kick goals, less emphasis on strategy and a less cluttered ground.

Crowd looks disappointing though? Less than a typical Port game. Guess aussie rules just doesn't have a big tradition of representative footy.

Regarding the crowd - Looks like many Port fans are there as well - imagine how disappointing the crowd would of been if Port 2's were not playing before hand and their wasn't so many Port players in the VFL side.
