MATCH DETAILS

HAWTHORN V MELBOURNE
Date: Saturday 13 May
Time: 4:35pm (AEST)
Location: MCG | Wurundjeri 

EMERGENCY SERVICES MATCH

This weekends match with Hawthorn will honour the work of Victoria's emergency service workers with a portion of the proceeds of ticket sales to be donated to the Emergency Services Foundation.
Melbourne are coming off a hotly contested game on the Gold Coast, which puts them in good stead into this weekends match-up with the Hawks as they also love a contested ball game. Hawthorn had tough loss in the West to Freo, but have looked promising over the last month.
