Port Melbourne fielding possibly its weakest side in this competition so far. Claremont shouldn't be taken lightly but the Borough are going to have a huge task to win over at Subiaco.

Not sure what the future of the comp is like with very junior teams being fielded.

I'm tipping Claremont to win by 6 or 7 goals.

If anything insted of the Foxtel Cup why doesn't foxtel help all states in broadcasing more games during the home and away season.

1 match per week is not enough

All that is OK Station but the only experience that the young guys got was to be embarrassed across the nation wearing the famous Port jumper.

As I said last year the Foxtel Cup really is the "Who gives a shit cup". For the first two games they could'nt get Port's colours correct on the screen graphics. The comp in its current form is a joke and I stand by my comment last year, I would have preferred Port declined the the invitation.

Commie,
Last years comments were because Port were not in it....Current opinion is one week late.
