Bits and pieces from Herald Sun http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/a...intra-club-match/story-e6frf9jf-1226265139818 <blockquote>LIVELY forward Lindsay Thomas was a standout performer in North Melbourne's first serious hitout on Tuesday. Thomas booted four goals in the Kangaroos' intraclub practice match at Eureka Stadium as part of the club's community camp at Ballarat. Ben Warren and Ben McKinley each kicked three goals in difficult conditions, with a strong westerly wind whipping down the exposed oval. Another bright light was the ruck work and free running of big Hamish McIntosh. McIntosh, reduced to just one senior game last season after being dogged by achilles tendon problems, played part of the practice match as a key forward and took his turn on the ball.</blockquote>
