In career-best form and fitness, Sydney forward Gary Rohan is happy to be labelled an x-factor AFL player, but is placing as much emphasis on the mundane as the miraculous.Rohan on Monday declared himself fit to play in Saturday weeks qualifying final against Greater Western Sydney after suffering a corked leg last weekend.He kicked a career equal best four goals in the 113-point win over Richmond to boost his season haul to 21, eight more than hes tallied in any previous year.The match against the Tigers was Rohans 14th straight game, the most successive matches the injury-prone speedster has played in a single season.I reckon its the best form Ive had, this year, Rohan told AAP on Monday.Ive just got to do the basics well, I dont have to do the miracle things all the time.Thats probably the big thing Ive got to work on.Rohans blistering speed and ability to produce freakish pieces of skill has him frequently tagged as an x-factor player.Its pretty exciting, Ill take it on board, Rohan said.For all the attacking sizzle he brings to the Swans forward line, its the defensive aspects of his role Rohan and his teammates and coaching staff value the most.His speed allows him to chase down other players and one smother on the weekend drew a massive roar of approval from Swans fans and the approbation of his teammates.The boys get around me all the time when I do the defensive acts so it encourages me to do it more and it gets myself into the game more if Im having a bad day, Rohan said.As someone who only averages 10 possessions a game, Rohan knows he needs to make every touch count.Forwards coach Brett Kirk and his teammates make sure he stays focused on the game even when he doesnt get the ball in his hands.Buddy (Franklin) and Tippo (Kurt Tippett) and the other forwards keep talking to me during the game making sure Im switched on, instead of lapsing through games, Rohan said.The hamstring tendon injury which kept him out of eight games has provided a silver lining of sorts.It gave me a bit of extra time to get more fitness in to me, so I feel like Im a lot fitter and can run through the games more this year, he said.Im still pretty fresh leading in to the finals, which is pretty handy.Kyle Palmieri Devils Jersey .

Rousey will put her perfect 8-0 record and hardware on the line against another undefeated fighter, 7-0 Sara McMann in the main event of UFC 170, which will be held at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas Nevada on February 22nd.Coach Tony Popovic admits Western Sydney are not in an ideal position on the table more than a third of the way through the A-League season, but insists theres no need to panic just yet.The Wanderers slumped to a 3-0 loss to Melbourne Victory at ANZ Stadium on Saturday night which, apart from Besart Berishas hat-trick, again highlighted the final-third issues and individual mistakes that continue to foil this campaign.After 10 rounds, some promising displays have delivered an undesirable two wins, five draws and three losses.They are now sixth and are at serious risk of being leap-frogged by Wellington, especially if the Phoenix win their game-in-hand against Victory in January.Of the teams 13 goals, five belong to super-sub Brendon Santalab, who was uncharacteristically wasteful against Victory and could have had his own hat-trick before halftime.That striker Kerem Bulut was yet again left out of the matchday squad in favour of inexperienced 19-year-old Lachlan Scott casts further doubt over his future at the club and only increases Popovics urgent need for a consistent centre-forward.Goalkeeping issues were also revisited, with drropped No.dddddddddddd1 Andrew Redmayne recalled to fill in for suspended second choice Jerrad Tyson and using his return to lay Berishas first goal on a platter.Theres not a lot wrong, but obviously were in a position (thats) not where we want to be and weve got to get better, Popovic said.Im not sure anyone has created that many chances in one football match against Melbourne Victory - clear-cut from six yards out - I doubt thats been seen by them for a while.But in the end we didnt take them, so next step is that those clear chances go in.The midfield is the Wanderers strength and again the bright spark was Argentine playmaker Nicolas Martinez, whose intelligence and deft touch showed more signs that with added fitness he could become the leagues biggest foreign star.Im much happier that were playing well every week, and if that continues Im sure well finish in a very good place at the end of the season, Popovic said.If the performances change, theres no chance of being there at the end when it counts.
