In the video below Majak Daw and Ben McKinley join the AFL360 crew to preview the Foxtel Cup Grand Final (in which they will both be playing). The Werribee Tigers will take on last year's runners up, Claremont in Perth on Thursday night.

Sudanes born Daw answers the question as to when he will be ready to play at AFL level and what he needs to do to get there, and discusses the pressures he feels. Former West Coast Eagles player and current North Melbourne listed McKinley discusses Claremont and what Werribee might need to do to beat them.

The match will be broadcast live and exclusively in Australia on FOX FOOTY from 9:30pm EST.

AFL General Manager National and International Development Andrew Dillon said the AFL congratulated Claremont and Werribee on their efforts in qualifying for the final and said the AFL had been delighted with the on-going strength of the competition in exposing the quality of football played at state league level across the country.

The winning team of the 2012 Grand Final will collect a $60,000 prize. Under competition rules, matches are quarters each of eighteen (18) minutes set time, plus time-on from the last 3 minutes only (20 minutes approximately total per quarter), to ensure they do not overly impact on club commitments to their on-going state league season.
