While Nic Naitanuis heroics must tempt Hawthorn to narrow their focus, the Hawks are training to take on not one, or 22, but 40,000 West Coast Eagles in their blockbuster AFL clash on Friday night.The grand final rematch comes at a crucial juncture in both clubs seasons.Hawthorn must win to keep their minor premiership hopes alive, and to enjoy the benefits that come with a top of the table finish.And for sixth-placed West Coast, the match provides a perfect platform to carry momentum and belief into a finals series that until recently, few thought they could impact.While Hawks coach Alastair Clarkson believes every match until September is just another home and away game, the star of last years grand final, Cyril Rioli, is of no doubt as to the matchs importance.Its very important. We definitely need to keep winning, Rioli said, before suggesting the Hawks must silence the usually vocal Domain Stadium crowd.Their crowd is the number one thing, he said.Playing over there on their home deck ... its going to be a pretty hostile environment.The goalsneak also said he expected the Eagles to play with plenty of passion as a result of last years 46-point grand final loss, and a round two defeat by the same margin.Theyre going to be after redemption as well so Im tipping theyll be firing.Hawthorn are employing a couple of old tricks to give themselves the best chance of a success at Domain Stadium.Theyve narrowed the ground at their Waverley training base so they can practice narrow ball movement, and are sending a few senior players to Perth on Wednesday to aid with the acclimatisation.But as the Giants learned on Saturday night, theres little you can do to stop Nic Nat.The fit-again ruckman left his mark with a scrambled goal to give the Eagles a one-point victory against a favoured GWS side.Rioli admitted to watching the dying stages with his heart in his mouth.I actually was pretty nervous watching, he said.He does some freaky things.Hes a very good player around the ground but especially in the ruck.The big boys will be trying to do everything they can to stop him doing what he wants to do.Well be doing everything we can to stop his run.Rioli himself was sporting a decent bandage on his left hand, but said he suffered the injury against Melbourne two matches ago and would play against the Eagles.Air Force 1 Alte 2020 .

Aside from the trilogy main event title fight, there are a number of intriguing matchups in the heavyweight, welterweight and lightweight divisions.GREENBURGH, N.Y. -- Most NBA observers probably wouldnt label Derrick Rose as elite at this stage of his career. But Rose believes he fits that description and that its only a matter of time before he shows it to others.Rose was asked after Knicks practice on Monday if he wants to show this season that he still is an elite point guard.Yeah, but I know I am, he said. Thats no surprise to me. Its only a matter of time until I put it together. All the hard work I put in, everything how I dedicated my whole life to this game, what I sacrificed. Its only a few that did it and thats doing it. So its all about just putting it together.Its only natural for players to have confidence in their abilities, but Roses production in recent seasons has fallen short of elite levels. Last season, Rose averaged 16.4 points on 42 percent shooting and handed out 4.7 assists per game for a Bulls team that missed the playoffs.Knicks president Phil Jackson traded for Rose in June and would, obviously, love to see the guard return to the elite form he showed earlier in his career, when he was named the youngest MVP in league history in 2011. Since that season, Rose has dealt with several significant knee injuries; due to those injuries and various others, the 28-year-old and has played in less than 40 percent of his games in the last five seasons.Rose missed a little over two weeks of training camp earlier this month while attending a civil trial in Los Angeles over allegations that he and two friends gang-raped an ex-girlfriend. He returned to the Knicks on Friday after a jury found Rose and his two friends not liable of the accusations. Rose has spent the last four days working with coaches and teammates ahead of the Knicks season opener Tuesday against the Cleveland Cavaliers.Im very excited. We got a lot of great pieces, Rose said after practice Monday. Were learning how to play together. Were learning chemistry. But it comes from experience and it comes wwith playing with each other.ddddddddddddKnicks coach Jeff Hornacek said Rose has looked strong in recent workouts. But Hornacek would also like to see Rose look for his own shot more often in certain situations.I think theres going to be times when Im going to have tell Derrick be more aggressive, Hornacek said Monday. There are times hes trying to set his teammates up, which is great for a point guard. But a lot of the early offense in the open court hes a hard guy to guard. Hell be on the attack.... He feels hes got great players on his team that he can rely but theres going to be times that hes going to have the advantage and were going to want him to attack.Rose believes that the Knicks will be difficult to guard in the pick-and-roll with players like Joakim Noah, Carmelo Anthony, Kristaps Porzingis, Courtney Lee and Brandon Jennings.Its pick your poison, Rose said. My job is to create a double team so the weak side has a hard time closing down on shooters.Hornacek has said Rose may need some time to get used to the offense after being away during the civil trial. Knicks doctors have been keeping a close eye on him over the past few days to monitor his stress levels following the trial.Anthony expects Rose to grow more comfortable with repetition after being away for the civil case. He also believes Rose will benefit from expectations in New York that are different than those he faced in his hometown of Chicago.I dont think hes playing with any type of load on his shoulders, hes not thinking about injuries, Anthony said Monday. Whereas before he was coming into training camp rehabbing, now he got a chance to just practice and put everything behind him and focus on basketball. So when you have a talent like that who is coming into the season with a clear mind and a focus that he has, it can be exciting. ' ' '
