After years of watching the Melbourne derby with itchy feet, Ivan Franjic relishes the opportunity to play in the A-League classic.Since moving from Brisbane to join City two seasons ago the Melbourne born-and-raised defender hasnt endured a loss whens hes played in the fixture.Franjic made his derby debut in last years Christmas match, a 2-1 win that ended a run of three straight Victory derby wins.The Socceroos right-back was again among the action in Februarys 2-2 draw before a five-minute cameo appearance in last months 2-0 FFA Cup success.Now that hes back in Melbourne, Franjic said the new iteration of the Melbourne derby sat at the top of the Australian footballing tree.Its the biggest game of the year, he said.I used to watch it while I was up in Brisbane and I always wanted to play in it.The whole of Victoria watches, if not the whole of Australia.Theres always big crowds and sellouts. Its a game you want to play in as a footballer.Growing up, Melbourne Knights versus South Melbourne (in the NSL) was the big derby.Eleven years on, the A-League has been great and then Melbourne Heart now Melbourne City gave an extra bit of spice.Franjic missed a pair of early derby days while at City.A hamstring strain delayed his start to the 2015/16 season, and a nasty virus which affected his heart meant he was a spectator for this years opening derby - won comprehensively 4-1 by City.He doesnt want to miss another one.I probably get more nervous watching than I do playing, he said.Were City and we always want to beat Victory.Theyre sitting third, were sitting second. I dont think its been this close for a while ... this one is definitely big.Franjics setbacks have also contributed to keeping him outside national team coach Ange Postecoglous plans but the 29-year-old is hopeful that if he continues his good form shown this campaign, hell be rewarded by both club and country.Every week I feel stronger and stronger, he said.Itll hopefully be soon enough like the old days where I used to bomb on for fun.The physios and the medical staff have done a great job to get me back where Im at.The main thing is playing good, week in week out, then its up to Ange. SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Paul Goydos shot a 3-under 67 on Saturday to take a two-stroke lead into the final round of the PGA Tour Champions season-ending Charles Schwab Cup Championship.A day after opening with a 62 for a three-stroke lead, Goydos birdied the par-5 18th to reach 11-under 129 on Desert Mountain Clubs Cochise Course.I was happy. It was a nice day, Goydos said. The wind had calmed down a little bit. It seems to be windy in the morning here and better in the afternoon. Playing goods an advantage to some extent.Colin Montgomerie, third in the Charles Schwab Cup season standings, remained second. He followed his opening 65 with a 66. The Scot matched playing partner Goydos with a closing birdie.Points leader Bernhard Langer was third at 7 under after a 66.The top five in the standings -- Richmond winner Scott McCarron is second, followed by Montgomerie, Joe Durant and Miguel Angel Jimenez -- can take the season title with a victory Sunday. Durant was tied for 15th at 1 under after a 69, McCarron was tied for 17th at even par after a 71, and Jimenez was 22nd at 1 over after a 67.The season standings were reset after the event last week in Virginia, with Langers lead over McCarron reduced from 935,657 to 200. The tournament winner will receive $440,000 and 2,000 points.I just know that theres a bunch of possibilities, like we imagined, and here we are, Langer said. I guess right now if it stands like this, Monty and I would be tied and were going to a playoff.dddddddddddd But will it stand that way tomorrow, nobody knows. I dont know. Its certainly exciting, its volatile. You know, it comes down the stretch.The 59-year-old German has a tour-high four victories and has wrapped up the season money title with $2,836,459. He won season titles in 2010, 2014 and 2015. Hes recovering from a left knee injury that forced him to withdraw from the playoff opener at Sherwood.Its been the same for the last two weeks, just being very careful walking, Langer said. I cant read my putts properly because I cant bend down the way I used to. But my goal is to finish the tournament, not to read my putts properly. Obviously, I would love to read them right, but if that would kick me out of the tournament, thats no good, so Ive just got to do what Ive got to do.Goydos is 24th in the standings. The two-time PGA Tour winner won the Dicks Sporting Goods Open in July for his third senior title. He shot a 59 in the PGA Tours 2010 John Deere Classic.Ive gotten off to good starts and, hopefully, I can continue that tomorrow, Goydos said. A little sloppy on the back nine, quite frankly. But Im Paul Goydos, Im not Bernhard Langer, as Ive proven time after time after time after time. But I hung in there pretty good. Made a couple birdies on the 5 pars, which is nice, and looking forward to playing tomorrow. ' ' '
