They have played 8 games and 3 practice games without a break since feb so its a good move by the club.

This may even be the reason they were so flat against Collingwood. Last season we had a bye every 4-5 matches to stay fresh.

I can assure you if we scrape home we will field a very strong team in our next foxtel cup match!!

How weak are modern day players that they need a break after a few games?

So if Port were playing this week in the VFL you would rest your 8 top players in the hope that ALL of them would play for the VFL team?

So have Port already been told that their 8 players are playing before the official VFL side has been picked?

Sandy pulled this stunt in 1977 when the VFA ran a Centenary Cup based on the FA Cup and Sandy played lowly second division club Frankston at Frankston with a basically seconds side and got thrashed and then lost the next week in the H&A VFA round.

I remember Lou Richards telling the story of Phonse Kyne the ledgenary Pies coach when asked would he always try to win and he replied "if we were playing the bloody Girl Guides I would pick my best side and go out to win!"

End of the day our club is made up of part time footballers playing in a professional league so theres no need to flog them. We have elected to play in this comp and will give it 100%.

I still expect us to win and look forward to seeing us come back fresh after the VFL bye for many more wins.

Would love to win the Foxtel Cup but I think our main concern is winning the 2012 VFL premiership.In years to come everybody won't know who won the 2012 Foxtel Cup but will know who won the 2012 VFL Premiership.Good luck to the team today.

Go Borough 2012!

Undefeated premiers 2011!
