Foxtel Cup round two sees three states through

At the end of the day whichever state's league wins will trumpet themselves as the best, and everyone associated with the SANFL claim they are the best, so I think it will be a bit embarassing if they don't even have a team in the final. WE know the reasons why but it won't look good.

On the flipside if somehow Port Adelaide (the only SANFL rep left) manages to win, well that would be embarrassing for the WAFL and VFL.

Back to Flyinghigh about WA juniors doing so well, I agree they have been, but remember that SA won the NAB AFL U16s last year and I think SA went within a kick of winning the U18s too, and are off to a good start this year including beating Vic Country by 46 points. So SA is not quite ready to give up second spot to WA just yet in terms of strongest overall state (clearly in terms of overall depth Victoria are top, and in a battle with SA in terms of state league strength). But yes WA's faster growing population should see them get to number two sooner rather than later.
