Well done Morningside, great to see.
A SANFL or a WAFL side beating a VFL side isn't a major upset.
A QAFL side beating a team from one of the three stronger leagues is massive.
It would be like the WAFL representative team beating an AFL team.

Cancelled
QAFL is strong these days, this game is a good example as Morningside are currently wooden spoon favourites.

That'll teach me for trying to remember the draw off the top of my head
They should say "Goodbye"... they face Port Melbourne next
If South go in close to full strength and Port rest a few then you have to give them a chance.
Good day for Queensland footy yesterday with their under 18's knocking off WA for the first time. Perhaps this is the Lions of 01-03 starting to flow through to grass roots.

Loser.Put your head back in the ground.
If Port were serious about competing then they shouldn't have rested players. The danger of disrespecting your opponents no matter where they sit on the ladder.
Now for next Saturday's big clash... Port Melbourne v South Adelaide... BRING IT ON!!!
South have been in poor form, but they did bounce back with a win on the weekend.
Their chances may well depend on whether they keep McKernan or if he gets called up for the Crows.
Sides for the match between Port Melbourne (VFL) and South Adelaide (SANFL)

South resting a few namely Liddle (maybe Magarey Medal favourite), Ainger (leading goalkicker), Houlihan and Bass. McKernan picked by Crows and Carlile held out by Power I guess.
Port Melbourne resting any ?
Port Melbourne resting any ?
Port is resting some of their best. No Baird (captain), Pleming (key defender), Valenti (Dual Liston Trophy winner), Galea (Comp's leading goalkicker) and skipper (no 1. ruckman).
However, there are some key ins, including Bentick, Hinkley (both ex-AFL) and Pinwill (BOG in last year's GF).
Port Melbourne 12.6.78 eliminate South Adelaide 8.8.56 
Well there's a surprise. I was willing on South but I never expected they would have a chance against the powerhouse Vic side that is Port Melbourne. I'd love to see Central Districts and Norwood in the Foxtel Cup but that would never happen!
Hoping for East Fremantle to play next year.

Looks like some changes for the Foxtel Cup from next year. Might encourage some of the stronger SANFL sides to participate.
Possibly. One story has suggested leagues outside SANFL, VFL and WAFL may have to play qualifying games. One would think top 2 NEAFL and top 2 Tassie would be the logical choices to fight it out for remaining 2 places. Maybe mix in Sydney AFL premiers - but I kinda figured that league has been relegated further down the pecking order given the best NSW sides all play NEAFL now.
