inal against Sydney at ANZ Stadium.The expansion side, in their fifth season, are one win away from reaching the grand final aft Antworten

Greater Western Sydney have won the citys most bruising and high-stakes AFL derby by 36 points. Now, coach Leon Cameron has grander plans in mind.GWS were anything but overawed on finals debut, increasing their lead at every break of Saturdays qualifying final against Sydney at ANZ Stadium.The expansion side, in their fifth season, are one win away from reaching the grand final after winning 12.19 (91) to 7.13 (55).The Giants will enjoy a week off before tackling Hawthorn or the Western Bulldogs in a home preliminary final, while the Swans face a SCG knock-out clash next week.Its great - theres a lot of people in there who have had five or six years of just hardship, Cameron said, referring to the clubs early struggles.Part of my job is to look forward to whats happening in 14 days ... because someone will beat us in the prelim final if we do not come with the same attitude.I dont want to be sitting here in 14 days, saying we got carried away with ourselves. We didnt prepare.Anyone will beat anyone on any given day ... Im sure there are going to be more twists and turns over the coming weeks.Cameron admitted his team were in a good spot to push for their first flag after the upset.But in no way do you look at it and say were in the box seat ... you never write off the Hawks; you never write off the Swans, he added.Swans stars Josh Kennedy and Kurt Tippett both passed concussion tests after early hits, while hamstrung young gun Callum Mills played no part in the second half.The undermanned minor premiers rallied and were only two points behind early in the third term, when GWS key forward Jeremy Cameron took control of the pulsating contest.There was nothing in it at halftime, Swans coach John Longmire said.Unfortunately, they got hold of us in the second half.The good thing is weve earned the double chance ... we get another crack at it next week.Cameron booted three goals in the space of five minutes to give his side a 21-point lead at three-quarter time.In a low-scoring affair, it was always going to be too big a buffer - much to the dismay of most in the 60,222 crowd.It is the first time the leagues minor premiers have lost their opening final since West Coast in 2006 - although the Eagles battled back to defeat Sydney in the grand final that year.The Giants announced themselves as flag contenders long ago but there remained a question of how a side with 16 finals debutants would handle the heat of September.They started nervously but the answer had come by quarter-time, when GWS held a one-point lead despite conceding the opening two goals of the game.Steve Johnson finished with 22 possessions and five behinds but delivered arguably the turning point of the match when he tried to run through Kennedy in the first term.GWS laid 32 more tackles than the Swans, including a jarring sling tackle from Shane Mumford on Tippett. Bailey Howell Jersey . 1 position. The Mustangs (6-0), who beat Queens 50-31 last weekend, earned 17 first-place votes and 287 points in voting by the Football Reporters of Canada. Western was last ranked first in the country in October 2011. Wizards Jerseys China . Aside from the trilogy main event title fight, there are a number of intriguing matchups in the heavyweight, welterweight and lightweight divisions. https://www.cheapwizardsonline.com/1569k-chris-chiozza-jersey-wizards.html .Y. - Detroit goaltender Jonas Gustavsson has earned NHL first star of the week honours after winning in his first three appearances of the season. Brendan Haywood Jersey . -- The St. Johns IceCaps weathered a wild first period with the help of goaltender Jussi Olkinuora, before finding offensive inroads in the second. Mitch Kupchak Jersey . -- New England Revolution goalkeeper Matt Reis is retiring after a 16-year career to become the goalie coach for the Los Angeles Galaxy. BERLIN -- Eintracht Frankfurts latest win has got the rest of the Bundesliga sitting up and taking notice of Niko Kovac.The former Croatia midfielder, who took over as coach last March when Frankfurt was in the relegation zone, has revitalized the unheralded club, guiding it through a relegation playoff and quietly steering the side to fourth place in the league after its best start in 23 years.The latest victory was a 2-1 win over a formidable Borussia Dortmund on Saturday.Im happy and proud. I also told the team that, said Kovac, who coached Croatias national team at the 2014 World Cup. Im a realist. Everyone can dream, I wont dream. We were nearly relegated last year. Now we are where we are and I dont want to overrate it. We should all be reasonable and not start taking off.Frankfurt -- perhaps most famous for its 7-3 loss to Real Madrid in the 1960 European Cup final -- trails another surprising team, third-place Hertha Berlin, on goals scored.After beating Bayern Munich the weekend before and following that up with an 8-4 rout of Legia Warsaw in the Champions League, Dortmund was brought back to the reality of the Bundesliga by Frankfurts compact defense and hard-working midfielders. Dortmund coach Thomas Tuchel was so frustrated he made his three changes all at once before an hour was played.It would have been easy for Frankfurt to panic when Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang equalized after Szabolcs Husztis opener, but Huszti set up Haris Seferovic to score what proved the winner just two minutes later. Seferovic had been on the field for less than 10 minutes, proving Kovacs instincts were right again.The Frankfurt coach sent his side out in a 3-4-2-1 formation with captain Alexander Meier up front supported by offensive midfielders Marco Fabian and Mijat Gacinovic. Without the ball, however, Frankfurt drew back into a 5-4-1 formation, making it hard for Dortmunds speedy players to find space.Dortmund enjoyed more possession while Frankfurt waited to catch the visitors with counterattacks, a ploy that paid off when Huszti made the breakthrough right after the interval.Kovacs side is based on a ssolid defense -- only Bayern and Cologne have conceded less in the league -- but the Frankfurt coach knows that key to the clubs success is the ability to strike at the other end.ddddddddddddIf we only concentrate on defending it will be difficult. We have to find our salvation also in attack, said Kovac, whose side has conceded only 10 goals after 12 games -- a club record.Financial constraints meant Kovac only had 2.5 million euros ($2.65 million) available for transfers in the offseason, but with sporting director Fredi Bobic, he invested in good young players from abroad that have deepened the pool of talent available.The side is no longer as reliant on Football God Meier to lead the side to victory. Under Kovac, the 33-year-old forward is often benched with Seferovic, Fabian, Gacinovic or Branimir Hrgota providing alternatives.Every player brings something from their own culture into the collective. So its an enrichment for all. Were versatile, Kovac said.Spanish defender Jesus Vallejo, who arrived on loan from Real Madrid, has praised the working environment that Kovac provides.We have a great team spirit from the start, the 19-year-old Vallejo said. The coach always tells that when we work as a team each individual gets stronger through the process.Kovacs side tends to do just enough to win. Saturdays victory over Dortmund was the 10th by one goal in 12 competitive victories.Frankfurt is unbeaten in six games at home this season, having hosted both Dortmund and Bayern at the Waldstadion already, and the side is unbeaten in six straight games, its best run in more than four years.Twenty-four points are already cool, Bobic said.Hard work and modest expectations have served Frankfurt well so far, even if Seferovic joked about joining the title chase.Third is good, huh? Of course theres still room for improvement there, the Switzerland striker said after Saturdays game, before Herthas win over Mainz on Sunday. But of course weve got to keep both feet on the ground.
