Won't be missed, could have been something interesting but was very poorly structured and promoted.

At least it now allows the SANFL to manage it's fixture a little better.

Calling the 2013 Foxtel Cup GF (West v East Freo) for Perth radio was one of the more sureal footy games I have broadcast.
Westies stopped to a dead halt going I think scoreless in the second half whilst the Sharks did all they good to lose (which they did) kicking I think 2.14 for the game.

So next year's fixture can be released earlier then.

Good to see. Compromised competitions will never last long.

How come the Redbacks logo has a spider with 5 legs on one side and 3 on the other.? Does it represent the Leg Side and the Off Side

Really? I see 4 legs on one side, then the side of the back, then three on the other side with ( assuming ) one obscured.

Yeah I think he's mistaking the black stripe that is the edge of the body as another leg.
As Booney said if anything its one leg short on its left side possibly due to the cut off of the icon or the angle its done on with 2 blurring into one but has 4 on the right.

PS I think this current conversation shows the current interest in the Foxtel Cup. :lol:
