Melbourne website http://www.melbournefc.com.au/fanzone/socialmedia/tabid/15860/default.aspx All over now, Hawks win But Hale injured. Don't know how bad.
Extremely happy with this performance against a full strength Dees considering we are missing Hodge, Mitchell, and Buddy.

Not sure on Big Max, but I must say I've been really impressed with all of our results. Nearly a 5 goal win against a quality Melbourne outfit without those players you mention and Roughead after half time. I think the key is that we have had one of our best ever pre-seasons under Clarko with little to no injuries(bar Hodgey) which bodes well for the real stuff-can't wait.

1/4 Time Swans 3.4.22 Saints 2.3.15 StKilda: Riewoldt and Milne. Sydney: Goodes, Jetta, Smith From what i can gather off the live fan feed on twitter, both teams struggling to hit a target inside 50 and Saints are looking pretty scrappy.

Anyone want me to look out for anything in particular @ the Suns game today? If so, speak up in the next hour or so.
Report on Josh Toy would be good Bob. Thinking he may be a great defensive rookie. Also Charlie Dixon. Thanks for the offer.
Miffed that scores or chat does not seem to be available for all the cash cows running around in QLD. In an effort to keep it simple, the following prospects have received ticks from the weekend's round thus far: Grimes, Lower, Darling, Gaff, Duigan, Varcoe, Duncan, Anthony, Higgins, Boyd, Boak, Fyfe, Dawes, Walker, Petrie. Highly concerned at the absence in Tassie of Hodge, Mitchell and Buddy. Has a bad smell about it. Injuries in the Norf forward line may mean an opening for Richardson (and with Callinan and Mzungu out, we need somebody).
@TIB-Hodge has well known achillies problems, Mitchell was excused because his wife is having twins and Buddy was rested.

Lots of love for Bewick as well and Luenberger off with an injury.
