Its obvious from meeting with him that hes also of great character - a really determined and resilient young man. - list manager Stephen Silvagni.COLLINGWOODFirst player picked: Sam McLarty (No.30, key defender, Oakleigh Chargers)What they said: We had a couple of boys pegged there as key defender types. Sam hurt his shoulder halfway through the year, but hes shown, at 197cm, he can play forward, back and hes extremely athletic and a high-end competitor. - recruiting manager Derek Hine.ESSENDONFirst player picked: Andrew McGrath (No.1, midfielder, Sandringham Dragons)What they said: Hes a winner ... hes a leader and theyre hard to find, so that was probably the major reason we decided to take him. - Essendon list manager Adrian Dodoro.FREMANTLEFirst player picked: Griffin Logue (No.8, key defender, Swan Districts)What they said: We certainly wanted to add some height where we could without getting silly about it either. Its really good ... to add some size into the group - its not every year you can do that. general manager of list management Brad Lloyd.GEELONGFirst player picked: Brandan Parfitt (No.26, midfielder, NT Thunder)What they said: We selected a good mix of players who play a variety of positions, which we think is important for our list. The players are at various stages of their development and we will see them grow as people and players. - national list and recruiting manager Stephen Wells.GOLD COASTFirst player picked: Ben Ainsworth (No.4, midfielder, Gippsland Power)What they said: We are delighted to be welcoming five elite young players, including two of our own academy-listed players.

He certainly does provide an X-factor, plays with a lot of energy, and is very clever and dangerous around goal. - recruiting manager Bryce Lewis.PORT ADELAIDEFirst player picked: Todd Marshall (No.16, tall forward, Murray Bushrangers)What they said: Todd is the best tall forward in the draft pool as far as were concerned.

Hes also a good kick, has good speed and can go lateral. - recruiting manager Tony Elshaug.SYDNEYFirst player picked: Oliver Florent (No.11, forward, Sandringham Dragons)What they said: Were happy with the mix of players we selected. Weve got a couple of players who can play through the midfield and forward and we were keen to get another key position player into our club, which we were able to do. - recruiting manager Kinnear Beatson.WEST COASTFirst player picked: Daniel Venables (No.13, midfielder, Western Jets)What they said: We went in with the strategy of picking the best available talent at every selection and we are absolutely thrilled with the way it panned out. We have been able to strengthen our squad in all areas of the ground. - recruiting manager Rohan OBrien.WESTERN BULLDOGSFirst player picked: Tim English (No.19, ruckman, South Fremantle)What they said: At 205cm and with his ability with ball in hand, we thought it was really suitable to the way we play, so that made him an attractive option. We always pick the best player available, and our list is fairly well balanced, so we didnt think there was a pressing need. recruiting manager Simon Dalrymple. Jerry Remy Angels Jersey . Louis Cardinals. Victorino is batting sixth and playing right field after missing two games because of back tightness. Angels Jerseys 2020 . Ashley Youngs cross was inadvertently headed by Chester into his own net in the 66th minute, allowing United to claim a third straight league win.

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. MINNEAPOLIS -- Minnesota is back from an earlier-than-usual bye week, aiming to keep the passing attack on a productive track.After feasting on FCS foe Indiana State, Mitch Leidner and the Gophers had extra rest for their final nonconference game against Colorado State. Under new offensive coordinator Jay Johnson, with a fully healthy left foot that hampered him for much of last season, Leidner has begun to look and feel like a fifth-year senior quarterback ought to.Im on a really good page with the receivers as well as the running backs and everybody on the offensive side of the football, Leidner said. Were a tight-knit group, and we really practice and work hard.The Gophers (2-0) will again be without tight end Brandon Lingen and wide receiver Rashad Still again on Saturday against the Rams (2-1) because of injuries, but freshman Tyler Johnson and junior Brian Smith have been helpful down-field complements to Drew Wolitarsky.Wolitarsky, who has 12 catches for 178 yards and two touchdowns, has emerged as the go-to wide receiver the Gophers and Leidner need. The senior connection was in midseason form two weeks ago against Indiana State .Im seeing a different Mitch off the field and on the field as well, Wolitarsky said. The work this guy has put in is amazing and is definitely something I look up to and I know a lot of guys look up to.Here are some key things to know about the game:THE REMATCHThe Gophers used three field goals by Ryan Santoso, including an 18-yarder in overtime to beat the Rams in Fort Collins, Colorado last year. That snapped a program-record 10-game home winning streak for the Rams.The Rams returned 13 starters from a 7-6 team that finished 5-3 in the Mountain West Conference and lost to Nevada in the Arizona Bowl in coach Mike Bobos first season. This will be Colorado States first trip to a Big Ten stadium since playing at the Metrodome in 2005, a 56-24 victory by Minnesota.CLIMBING THE HILLCSU True freshman Collin Hill, in his first career start, completed 21 of 27 passes forr 315 yards and four scores plus a 51-yard touchhown run in a win over FCS opponent Northern Colorado .ddddddddddddFourth-year junior Nick Stevens started the opener, a 44-7 loss to Colorado, but fifth-year senior Faton Bauta took over in the second half. Bauta, a graduate transfer from Georgia, took snaps the following week in a victory over UTSA, until Hill entered in the fourth quarter.There was a confidence level going up, like, `OK, were going to be able to complete some passes, Bobo said, adding: We said theres going to be some growing pains, but we thought the upside was too promising.THREE-WAY THREATShannon Brooks has been cleared to return from a broken foot, giving the Gophers their leading rusher from last season to join Rodney Smith and Kobe McCrary in a deep backfield. Smith and McCrary combined for 387 yards and five touchdowns rushing over the first two games.Weve got ways to get at least two of them on the field at the same time, coach Tracy Claeys said. You always want your best people on the field all the time.FRONT LINESThe Gophers, given a boost by two junior-college transfers in the starting lineup in right guard Vincent Calhoun and left tackle Garrison Wright and the arrival of new offensive line coach Bart Miller, have not allowed a sack yet. The Rams, who have switched their base defense to a 3-4 alignment, lost their entire starting defensive line from last season to graduation.Its one of those games youve got dig your cleats in the turf, Bobo said.CALL THE CARPENTERSantoso, a junior, preferred to switch to punter this season. Hes averaging 41.9 yards per attempt. Sophomore Emmit Carpenter has taken over as the kicker, and he hasnt missed yet on 10 extra points and four field goals.Hes just building confidence in himself to go out there and just be automatic every time, linebacker Jack Lynn said. So were 100 percent confident in his capabilities. ' ' '
