Illawarra v Melbourne May 18
It's not every day that Perf supporters root for the Hawks, but tonight they'll be clucking away, and barracking for them as well.
It's 1 v 4 and Perf are 1 game behind the United team. The Hawks have Sydney and Brisbane in hot pursuit and a loss tonight would see them drop to 5th. It's like those three are in a three way jelly wrestle. Each time on elf them grabs fourth spot it slips out of their hands.
Melbourne, reeling from the SEM loss will come out firing and with the Hawks having 3 wins on the trot, no quarter will be given tonight with both teams knowing how important this game is.
The Blue Baggers from Brunswick boldly, bravely battling beyond barriers to bring back a win, but then again the karma from the west might lift the Hawks enough to give the their second loss in a row. But my kiss of death goes to the Soy Sippers.
