Saturday, 28th April, 2012

BACK IN ACTION: South’s Michael Westley will be keen to resume hostilities with the Magpies.

By Balldock

The Roos are at home for the first time in 2012 and they will play host to the Magpies for this round three encounter at the Alma Oval.

South recorded their first win for the season last week and they will go into this game with the knowledge that their game is improving with the return of several key players.

The Magpies have been competitive in their opening two games but have thus far failed to record premiership points. While there is no talk of crisis they will be desperate for a win.

The signs are all good for Bell’s Milk Bar

BACK TOGETHER: Everything’s in order again for Bell’s Milk Bar owner Jason King.

The famous “Drinks” sign has been returned to Bell’s Milk Bar in Patton Street.

And thanks to generous local support, all the historic metal signs have now been freshly fabricated, strengthened and powder coated.

The “Drinks” sign was saved from a life in a shed and reunited with Bell’s Milk Bar owner Jason King after a local man saw an article in the BDT about the sign having been stolen. 

Bulldogs hard to beat

TOO SLICK: Brent Rose will be crucial in today’s midfield battle against North.

By Balldock

North takes on West today at the Jubilee Oval with the Bulldogs looking to continue their unbeaten run.

Despite their unblemished record North were far from impressive last week, while the Robins are one and one from their opening two games and will be full of confidence after last week’s effort.

North have been forced to make seven changes which has really stretched the club’s depth. Out of today’s contest go McConnell, Beavan, Hack, Napier, Oldsen, Richards and Green. They have been replaced by Ruddock, Harwood, McCormack, Grossi, Martin, Zilliotto and Bugeja.
