So the first round of the Foxtel Cup is over and the first teams have now been sent back to their respective leagues, able to enjoy their byes for the rest of the year. Of the 16 teams that took part this year, only eight remain. So what have we learnt so far?

The weeds have been pulled from the competition and we should expect some high quality matches from this point of the competition. This will be the first time the Thunder will play at home in the Foxtel Cup, while for East Perth this will be their first away match in the series.

The Foxtel Cup could be one of the great initiatives seen in the AFL for quite some time. Having 16 clubs from outside the AFL level play against each other for the right to be known as the best team outside AFL footy, is a step in the right direction.
