Daniel Merretts Gabba farewell appears set to be crashed by a Geelong side that coach Chris Scott says has a point to prove over their record against teams outside the AFLs top eight.The Brisbane Lions host the Cats, who have won their past five games and are vying for a top four spot, on Sunday afternoon.Under-pressure Lions coach Justin Leppitsch has had a rare stress free week after their thrilling win over Carlton and, with the aid of an eight-day break, believes his side will go into what looks on paper as a huge mis-match with confidence.It is Merretts last match in Brisbane after the veteran defender announced his retirement this week, with next rounds away clash with St Kilda to mark his 200th and final AFL appearance.But Geelong, after their narrow escape against Richmond, could well come out snarling after Scott highlighted their inability to finish off teams they are expected to beat.Im not going to argue that we havent been at our best against teams that are outside the top eight, thats a reality and one weve confronted head on, Scott said.Now weve just got to do it.Talk is cheap. What I say here really has zero impact, and in some ways, what weve said to the players wont be tested until we see how we come out in the first 10 or 15 minutes this week.Scott said the Cats would not underestimate the Lions, who despite their rotten three-win season have occasionably troubled top sides, including Sydney at the Gabba earlier in the year.Im not trying to talk Brisbane up as a great team but they were 40 points up at half-time on the weekend against a team (Carlton) that beat us a few months ago, he said.Whatever Geelong serves up, Leppitsch is hopeful Brisbane can counter it for Merretts sake.Hes been a mainstay through a pretty ordinary era at our footy club and hes been a very loyal servant and we thank him for that, he said.Lets hope all of us can fire up for Rog.Curt Schilling Jersey . McPhee said that Ovechkins father Mikhail is in stable condition after having the surgery this week and is no longer in intensive care.

He was followed closely by David Clarkson, donning red, seconds later. Clarksons actions one night earlier, leaping off the bench in defence of Kessel during a pre-season game against the Buffalo Sabres, will cost him the first 10 games of the regular season.

The incident occurred at 19:56 of the second period of the Kings 4-2 road win over Edmonton on Sunday. Nolan punched Oilers forward Jesse Joensuu in the jaw in front of the Kings goal during a scrum.Ferrari chairman Sergio Marchionne has stuck by his decision to initiate a mid-season overhaul of? the teams technical department, which saw James Allison leave in August.Following a series of high-level crisis meetings chaired by Marchionne, Ferrari parted ways with technical director Allison and promoted Mattia Binotto from the teams engine department as his replacement. In a season where the famous Italian marque failed to secure a single victory, Binotto set about reorganising the technical departments at Maranello and Marchionne is confident the changes will yield results in 2017.We have restructured and I prefer to look to the future in a different way, he said at Ferraris traditional Christmas lunch. I dont regret the choices made, they were well thought out, so theres no need to change ideas.There are still many things missing, but the team is the team and it was put in place over a period of years and were not about to changee it now.ddddddddddddOur working practice is already different to what it was back in August, which is when Mattia Binotto took over the reins. The organizational change was also partly made to bring some calm. Put in the work and the results will come.Binotto said the restructure has improved the teams ability to react to issues and is confident Ferrari can deliver a competitive car under the new 2017 regulations.There are so many changes to the rules relating to aerodynamics. We will see cars that are much quicker through the corners, under acceleration and in braking. There is nothing to say that we here in Maranello cannot build such a car...Its just a matter of time. What we lacked on occasions this year was the ability to react quickly. We must be able to introduce new solutions before the others do. ' ' '
