Melbourne will be to classy for us at home, I'm afraid. Melbourne 3-1

 

[roboshark]

Could get ugly with all our injuries

Teams and ref in

 

[fish eel]

good draw for newcastle.

the goal scorer, Haliti, looked very, very good. put in some good crosses before scoring

 

[Misanthrope]

When Haliti left I didn't rate him much, but he's certainly come back much improved from his stint abroad.

Not the greatest crowd for Melbourne, but 15,000 only pales in comparison to the standard they've set in the past. Thursday nights probably aren't as attractive as weekend evenings, either.

Our backs were awesome tonight. Hoffman should never pull on a jets jersey again
