20 THOUGHTS: Calombaris back pay

FIVE games to go. If the AFL home and away season had a ‘clocktower’ moment, then this is it

You’d need to be near abouts now if you’re to make your run, if not then you’re out of the running.

But if you are close, and have got a bit going right for you, you’re a bang-on chance to be amongst the contenders when the whips are cracking.

A bonafide premiership favourite will emerge from this round – it’s time to get serious.

1. So here’s where its tricky. Let’s look at the top teams quickly:

· Geelong have lost three of their last five, those losses to teams outside the eight

· Brisbane outside of their win to the GWS haven’t beaten a top eight team since Round One, aside from a one-point win over eighth-placed Adelaide

· West Coast barely beat Melbourne and Hawthorn and lost to a spluttering Collingwood in Perth

· The Pies looked a mess against the Giants and have bad losses to North and Hawthorn not too far back

· Before this weekend where they defeated ninth, aside from the GWS win two weeks back the Tigers are 3-3 in their last six and the other two wins were against 18th and 14th

· The Giants looked good last weekend but had lost their last three games, all to top eight teams

Point being – anyone of the top six has holes in their credentials. All six are good enough to turn this around and mount an insurmountable charge, but if a couple of these faded off into the wilderness, out in straight sets, wouldn’t shock me in the slightest. Dead set open for anyone this year.

2. Now Essendon though, different story. Won four of their last five, six of their least seven, and beaten two top eight teams the last month. In actual good form unlike the teams above them and have the Suns, Power and Dogs all in Melbourne the next three. Look out.

3. Right now, ignoring betting prices, I’d much rather bet on Essendon to win the flag than Brisbane. Not even close.

4. Six teams have played nine games against the current top eight. A further nine have played seven or eight. Two however have played just the five – Carlton and Brisbane.

5. That all being said, whoever wins Friday wins the flag, and right now with Richmond favourites they remain the tip. The Tigers win, they will finish in the top four, and either get Geelong week one, and win get a home prelim, or lose, win week two, and get Geelong in an MCG prelim. Conversely, if the Pies can get up, beat West Coast in Perth and Richmond in Melbourne within 14 days, then they regain worth, the same logic would apply. Simple.

6. Those Pies last week, sure, but look at that Giants forwardline. When the Pies’ midfield turned up its toes, there’s three forwards for GWS over 6”4 and a resting ruckman too, yet Collingwood selected Jordan Roughead and some mediums. There’s your definition of a field day.

7. Last one on the Pies – Robbo went pretty hard on the stats for Mason Cox’s demise and all that. He is a long way off the form from last year’s prelim, no doubt, but its only one round prior where he took more marks than Tom Lynch and kicked the same amount of goals, yet a week later Cox should be deported and Lynch is Royce Hart? Stats can be funny at times, Robbo though is always comedic.

8. Speak of tall forwards, not quite Franklin and Roughead but I like the look of Mitchell Lewis next to Tim O’Brien for the Hawks’ fans. Lewis has wonderful forward craft for a youngster, who too is a lovely size, and O’Brien has as good a set of hands for one clunk marking in the comp. Bit of continuity playing together and there’s your ten-year forward line Hawthorn. Very nice.

9. That free kick paid to give Brisbane another win they just didn’t need, my Lord. I know, its only one decision and Leigh Fisher, ex-Saint, was the one that paid it and he is usually pretty good. But for a club getting the rub of the green everywhere, gee, have you seen a more false record than the Lions right now?

10. Brett Ratten opened the Saints gameplan up nicely and I don’t think that win was purely down to the ‘first week up-Caretaker coach’ thing. He made some subtle changes and it looked a treat. Just need to polish a few more things, get fitter as a list, and they can be top eight in no time. Lock Ratts in for next year at Moorabbin.

11. Speaking of the Saints, reckon Hunter Clark becomes the kind of Shannon Hurn, Luke Hodge, style renowned backline general who is not just skilled and effective but presence alone only boosts the St Kilda back six a few extra percent. Got a huge career ahead that kid.

12. And after this column what, two weeks ago, before Richo got the arse maybe, foreshadowed that if Freo and Ross are no longer, for reasons of their own accord, maybe just maybe its Lyon 2.0 down at Moorabbin? And then old mate Caro, fresh from a sojourn in the south of France wants to borrow from the Get Serious conspiracy theory trash can and run it as serious news on 3AW? Wilson. Get the bloody hell serious, won’t you?

13. Gold Coast currently 3-14. Last five games to round out the year: Dons, Pies, Lions, Hawks in Tassie and Giants. That’s got 3-19 written all over it. Now in their first and second years when they had all those kids, were horrendous and getting smashed most weeks, even those sides managed to win three games in each of those years. So for this to be their equal worst season, equal with two different years in which those sides had legitimate excuses, is phenomenal.

14. EJ Whitten Legends game, moved around of late but is usually a late August piece. This year, back to Melbourne after a year in Adelaide, but is penciled in for AAMI Park, not Marvel. They’re going down the AFLX route. For shame.

15. Some non-footy to finish – Mack Horton, gee that’s gutsy. Say what you like about sportsmanship and I get that, I do, but the fact this Chinese guy sneakily served a suspension a couple years ago and has a pending appeal, against him, by WADA for getting off a charge last year, I don’t blame Horton for making a stand one bit. Big target on his back but sometimes we need people like him. I rate it. Mack Horton – a definite Buy.

16. But how about little Ariarne Titmus. The teenager from Launceston who took down Katie Ledecky who is in the conversation for greatest female American swimmer of all time, such is her aura. Ledecky is only 22 and has won five Olympic golds and 14 World Champs golds. Yet the 18-year-old from Tassie swam that last 50 like it was Australia Day at your mate’s Triple J party and swallowed in the champ whole. What a legend, remember her name won’t you?

17. Cricket Australia – what?! Haddin XII vs. Hick XII, Australia vs. Australia A, and not even a stream for me and my mates to grab a couple cold Asahi’s on a winter’s evening and settle in? The greatest intra club ever thought of and I have to follow it on tweets from Peter Lalor? Madness..

18. Gotta hand it to New Zealand. Won the Netball World Cup, a couple weeks after basically winning the Cricket World Cup. Holds the Women’s Rugby World Cup title and in three months when the Mens’ Rugby World Cup kicks off you can see where that one is going too. This is a nation with a population smaller than Sydney. Props to those Kiwis I say.

19. Belinda Sharpe, first female NRL referee last round, nice on by her. AFL has had a couple games umpired by the ladies as well but cricket, why has there not yet been a female umpire a men’s match? Seems the first place it could have happened. Cricket, work that out please!

20. And my new favourite team – Western United in the A-League. Have assembled a decent squad actually for their first campaign starting this October, but the comedy that is their stadium continues. Based out of Geelong and Ballarat temporarily as they build their “100% privately funded stadium” out the back of outer-west Tarneit, their ambitions are as lofty as the ignorance and corporate incompetence of the FFA who awarded them a license.

The update though this week was gold, as it is “is set to be funded by the proceeds of nearby residential property projects, including in some high-density areas, and underpinned by a commercial zone.” This is an area currently kilometres from the nearest real estate mind you.

Also it’s noted that “A nearby railway station is also planned, with a town centre ‘potentially’ being developed by the council. Investors could emerge with ownership of assets worth tens or hundreds of millions more than their initial outlay. It could make annual profits and investors could later sell their stakes for capital gains.” I know El Chapo has been locked up again, but he would just love this sorta stuff the ol’ Tiger, what a humorous little tale this is developing into. It’ll never happen.

Friar literally became the “King of Poo” and made a fortune in the process.

DarkSide Ransomware Used in Colonial Pipeline Attack

Critical Infrastructure Security, Cybercrime, Fraud Management, and Cybercrime

Company goes into the restructuring phase; White House House surveillance incident

Scott Ferguson (Ferguson_Writes), Doug Olenick (DougOlenick) • May 10, 2021

Source: Colonial Pipeline

The FBI and the White House confirmed Monday that the DarkSide variant of ransomware was used in Friday’s attack, which disrupted Colonial Pipeline Co., which operates a 5,500-mile pipeline that supplies fuel, gasoline and other petroleum products in large parts of the east US delivers

See also: Live webinar | The role of passwords in the hybrid workforce

However, the cybercriminal group behind the DarkSide ransomware appeared to be trying to put the blame for the incident on an affiliated organization in a post on their darknet website.

In a speech at the White House on Monday, President Joe Biden stated, “The Federal Bureau of Investigation has determined that Colonial’s network has been infected with ransomware and it appears to be a criminal act. The FBI released details of the attack so that others can take steps to prevent it from becoming infected. My administration … takes this very seriously. We have efforts underway with the FBI as well [Department of Justice] – To disrupt and – and prosecute ransomware criminals. And my government will make a global effort of ransomware attacks by transnational criminals who often use global money laundering networks to carry them out. “

Gregory Touhill, a retired U.S. Air Force general who is now director of the CERT division at Carnegie Mellon University Software Engineering Institute, notes that the attack on the Colonial Pipeline could mark the beginning of a trend in which attackers are targeting critical ones Infrastructure providers are concentrating to either get large ransom money or disrupt the economy.

“This could just be the beginning of a global campaign against critical infrastructure that could negatively affect people around the world,” says Touhill.

FBI update

In a statement Monday, the FBI confirmed that “DarkSide ransomware was responsible for compromising the Colonial Pipeline networks. We are continuing to work with the company and our government partners on the investigation.”

The FBI didn’t say who carried out the attack on the Colonial Pipeline, but the ransomware is most closely associated with its creators – the DarkSide gang, according to security firms Cybereason and Secureworks.

However, the DarkSide gang appeared to claim that a subsidiary was responsible for the attack that forced the energy company to stop fuel flowing through its pipelines over the weekend.

“Our goal is to make money and not create problems for society. From today we are introducing moderation and checking every company that our partners want to encrypt in order to avoid social consequences in the future, ”Emsisoft reported in a message on the Darknet website of the DarkSide gang on Monday.

The note on DarkSide’s Darknet website (source: Emsisoft)

While the FBI, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency and security firms continued to investigate the attack, Colonial Pipeline released an update on Monday saying it is working to gradually bring IT systems and parts of its pipeline back online. The company’s goal is to “essentially” restore service by the end of this week.

“While this situation remains fluid and evolving, the Colonial Operations team is executing a plan that includes a step-by-step process that allows for gradual resumption of service,” the company update reads. “This plan is based on a number of factors, with security and compliance driving our operational decisions and the goal of essentially restoring operational service by the end of the week. The company will provide updates as the restoration efforts progress.”

During a briefing at the White House on Monday, Anne Neuberger, assistant national security advisor on cyber and new technologies, found that Colonial Pipeline is in the rehabilitation phase and is working with a security firm – allegedly FireEye Mandiant – to resolve the issue. While the government provides assistance, the company is looking into the recovery itself, Neuberger added.

Colonial Pipeline first confirmed the ransomware attack against its systems on Saturday after the company shut down on Friday. The Georgia-based company connects refineries on the Gulf Coast with customers throughout the southern and eastern United States via a pipeline system of more than 5,500 miles. This pipeline carries gasoline, diesel, kerosene and heating oil as well as fuel for the military.

The Colonial Pipeline carries approximately 45% of all fuel consumed on the east coast and serves nearly 50 million U.S. customers, the company said.

Effects on the fuel supply

In response to concerns about possible increases in gas prices and possible fuel shortages, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration issued a regional emergency statement allowing transport drivers stretching from the south to the northeast to work more hours until June 8. It applies to 17 states and the District of Columbia (see: Colonial Pipeline starts restoring ransomware).

Deputy National Security Advisor Elizabeth Sherwood-Randall noted at the White House briefing that the US Department of Energy was in contact with state and local organizations to resolve fuel shortage issues. And while there is currently no fuel shortage related to the shutdown of the pipeline, the government is preparing for such a shortage.

Neuberger noted that Colonial Pipeline decided to shut down portions of its systems on Friday to ensure the ransomware does not spread to the company’s operating technology systems and further damage the pipeline and the industrial control systems that control it.

Anne Neuberger, Deputy National Security Advisor for Cyber and New Technologies, at a White House briefing

Like the president, Neuberger classified the attack on the pipeline company as a “criminal” act, but said there was no evidence that any nation-state was associated with the attack or the ransomware group behind it. However, she added that US intelligence is monitoring the situation.

“It is questionable whether DarkSide would work with a nation-state in this attack,” said Fleming Shi, CTO of Barracuda Networks. “DarkSide is a ‘cyber weapons software provider’ for hackers, and a nation state could well turn it into a weapon. But I don’t think DarkSide is interested in working with any particular nation and setting a huge goal for itself. ”

Neuberger did not comment on whether the attackers who had targeted Colonial Pipeline had contacted the company or whether the company was negotiating a possible ransom payment.

And while the FBI has found in the past to deter companies and individuals from paying ransomware gangs, Neuberger said that decisions are ultimately left to the attacked organization.

“We know, however, that companies are often in a difficult position when their data is encrypted and they have no backups and cannot restore the data,” said Neuberger. “And that’s why – given the surge in ransomware and the worrying trend of [attackers] target companies that have insurance – we need to look into this area carefully, including with our international partners, to determine what we are doing in addition to actively disrupting infrastructure and making perpetrators accountable to ensure we do not see the surge of Promote ransom. “

Insights into the DarkSide Gang

Brett Callow, a threat analyst at Emsisoft, says the DarkSide group may indeed be dissatisfied that one of their partners may have put the gang in the spotlight.

“DarkSide may well feel that such a high-profile attack is drawing unwanted attention to their operations – and maybe even countermeasures. And other groups might think the same way, ”says Callow. “Hopefully they are right. Until now, governments lack a clear and decisive strategy for the ransomware problem and that has to change, otherwise we will see more and more attacks of this kind.”

Security firm Cybereason says the DarkSide gang is a relative newbie, spotted in August 2020. The gang mainly attacks targets in English-speaking countries and appears to avoid targets in countries affiliated with former Soviet bloc states, Cybereason notes.

The gang’s ransom demands range from $ 200,000 to $ 2 million. It reportedly has a “code of conduct” prohibiting attacks on hospitals, hospices, schools, universities, nonprofits and government agencies, Cybereason says.

Sam Curry, CSO at Cybereason, notes that the DarkSide gang and their partners use both phishing emails and vulnerability exploits to launch their attacks. As soon as the attackers gain a foothold, “they spread … patiently, quietly and persistently over a network.

Secureworks, which also tracks DarkSide and refers to it as the “Gold Waterfall,” says the gang has launched 81 “name and shame” -style blackmail attacks worldwide since August 2020.

Critical infrastructure under siege

The attack on the Colonial Pipeline once again focused on protecting critical US infrastructure and eliminating vulnerabilities

In February, attackers targeted the water treatment facility in Oldsmar, Florida (see: Water Treatment Hack Prompts Warning From CISA).

Austin Berglas, formerly the assistant special agent responsible for cyber investigations in the FBI’s New York office, notes that government agencies have published numerous reports of cyber threats to the oil and gas industry for years, and the incident involving the Colonial Pipeline shows that this is not enough has been done to reduce risk.

“These attacks show that critical US infrastructure does not have the resources to adequately monitor systems, respond appropriately, and use outdated technology that is not adequately secured,” said Berglas, now global head of professional services at the cybersecurity company BlueVoyant.

Surfers are riding a wave of new technologies to their Olympic debut

Riding waves is physically demanding, and preparing for competition requires intense cross-training that's being bettered by precise motion and muscle tracking. (Jake Marote/Red Bull/)

Popular Science’s Play issue is now available to everyone. Read it now, no app or credit card required.

One of the best surf spots in the United States to practice aerial tricks is in central Texas, some 200 miles from the Gulf Coast. On a brisk December day at the BSR Surf Resort, Caroline Marks was ripping a front-side air reverse. Aquamarine water sloshed off the concrete rear wall of the wave pool as she pumped down the line and flew off the crest of a head-high breaker into a clockwise spin. She grabbed the rail of her board as she came around and landed with a splash, sunlight glinting off the spray. She looked like she was having a blast.

The 18-year-old Californian has ridden in artificial lagoons before, but this was her first time at BSR. It features an oncoming white-water section perfectly suited to her signature explosive maneuvers. Surfable waves roll through with metronomic precision, as many as 150 an hour. “There aren’t always opportunities for people to do airs in the ocean, but at Waco there is, over and over again,” Marks says, grinning with characteristic excitement. She and three of her brothers spent the day here, one-upping each other into the evening under the glare of stadium lights. “One hundred percent, it was so much fun,” she says.

Luke and Zach Marks introduced their younger sister to wave riding when she was 8 and the family lived in Florida. Even now, she loves shredding with them. The week before their session in Waco, she finished the World Surf League championship tour ranked second internationally, behind Carissa Moore, the 27-year-old veteran who won her fourth title. That secured their spots, with Kolohe Andino and John John Florence, on the US Olympic team for the sport’s debut in Tokyo. Although the COVID-19 pandemic has pushed the Summer Games to 2021, the squad is set.

Moore, who grew up in Hawaii and has been a dominant competitor for a decade, says that when she was a kid dreaming of going pro, the Olympics weren’t on her radar and artificial waves were never consistent enough to warrant excitement. But—surprise!—in the past two years, she ended up winning the first major event staged on them and securing a shot at gold. Marks, on the other hand, has grown up with such things as givens. She was 14 when the games’ international governing body added surfing to the lineup. One year later, she became the youngest person ever to qualify for the professional tour.

As surfing prepares for its global spotlight, it is experiencing a seismic shift from a laid-back, go-with-the-flow mindset to one shaped by innovations in data analysis, physiological testing, and technology. Specialists in fields such as nutrition, psychology, and orthopedics are working with US surfing coaches like Brett Simpson to develop an Olympic training regimen that increasingly resembles those long favored by everything from basketball to volleyball. The team is undergoing cognitive analysis, establishing baseline biometrics, and tracking analytics to enhance performance. Surfers are experimenting with gear like pressure-sensing booties to glean insights into board control and GPS-equipped motion trackers to improve paddling technique. This embrace of science and technology has come as research and engineering yield advances long considered impossible—most obviously, consistent machine-made barrels suitable for competition. Some of the gadgetry can’t help but eventually make its way onto beaches everywhere, adopted by recreational enthusiasts and elite competitors alike, further changing the culture of the sport.

The job of maximizing all this potential falls to Kevyn Dean, the US team medical director. An orthopedic physical therapist who has spent two decades using physiology and biomechanics to help top wave riders achieve their best, Dean was the first to push such an approach within USA Surfing, the organization that selects teams for international competition. He sees the evidence-based methods that he pioneered within the sport inevitably ruling it, pushing it into the future. “Caroline’s is the generation that will be coming up with these tools, and more, at their disposal,” he says.

In September 2015, when she was a 13-year-old preparing for the International Surfing Association World Junior Surfing Championship, Marks broke her foot and ankle in several places doing a backside turn. The move places heavy pressure and flexion on the leading ankle to drive the board up the face of the wave, and the white water shoved her foot into an acute angle. “I was out of the water for three months,” she says. “I went from surfing four to six hours a day to nothing. It felt like an eternity.” Dean treated her with the goal of erasing the deficits from her injury and tweaking her technique to reduce the chance of another—a kind of “prehab.”

They worked on improving her stability, balance, and coordination with exercises that increased the strength and functional range of her joints and bolstered her core posture and movement. (One foundational technique, called dynamic neuromuscular stabilization, saw her crawling much like a baby to unlearn bad habits by relearning basic movements.)

Like many, Dean once viewed surfing as a lifestyle, not a sport. He came to it after earning his graduate degree in physical therapy in 1991 and going to work at a Veterans Affairs clinic in Long Beach, California. His hobby and his career converged on the shores of sunny SoCal. “As I surfed more frequently and wanted to get better,” he says, “I started to think about it differently—what do I need to do to catch more waves and make more turns?”

Spending time in the gym was not something any respectable surfer did back then; likewise, few people considered hanging ten a serious athletic pursuit. But Dean’s clinical background led him to begin reconsidering those notions. When his son started catching waves with friends, he asked more questions: Why don’t surfers train the way football players and wrestlers do? What are the baseline functions they need to perform? He assessed the boys’ movements on the water and developed conditioning plans involving unstable surfaces like balance boards and Bosu balls. The teenagers eagerly sought every advantage, so he reevaluated their progress regularly and responded with new adjustments. He reviewed hours of video footage, focusing on their technique and pondering how to help them from a biomechanical perspective.

Dean expanded upon that model when he opened a surfing-oriented gym in 2005 in Huntington Beach, a seaside community near Los Angeles. (He moved the operation a bit farther south to San Clemente, home to many of the sport’s stars, in 2010.) Over the years he has trained Simpson, who won two US Open championships, and other stars of the pro tour, including Nate Yeomans, Griffin Colapinto, and Kanoa Igarashi. Six years ago, he added physical therapy to the mix, tying together the two threads of his life’s work.

USA Surfing named Dean medical director in 2017 and tasked him with assembling a committee of coaches, orthopedic surgeons, physiologists, psychologists, and other experts. Their mandate is to create “high-performance” surfers. In the competition lexicon, that means emphasizing anything that can improve the odds of winning: strength and conditioning, nutrition, equipment evaluation, video and data analysis, even mental health. The US Olympic & Paralympic Committee has long embraced such a strategy. “My whole goal,” Dean says, “is to get top surfers to do what a lot of major sports are already doing.”

His methods grew from a belief that competitors should control the variables they can and leave the unknowns on the beach. A nutritionist, for example, advises on energy and hydration needs before, during, and after an event. “You’ll see a lot of surfers who barely take a sip of water in a five-hour competition in blazing sun and heat,” Dean says. “Can you think of any other elite athletes who aren’t drinking water?”

Dean radiates calm expertise. While he embodies the professionalization of surfing, his fluency in its sick-stoke language lends him credibility. “There are definitely some choke points when it comes to growing out of a lifestyle,” he says, recounting some of the criticism he’s read and heard over the years: Spend all the time you like in the gym, but the only way to improve is on the water. Competition and scoring bastardize the sport. The best surfer is the one having the most fun. “But the reality is that there are elite athletes making their living by performing at a top level,” he says. “The best surfer is the one who is actually in the water, and if you’re injury laden, you can’t be in the water. Everyone can understand that.”

On a bright morning in December 2019, Dean was performing a medical assessment on Nico Coli, who had just won gold in the team Aloha Cup event at the ISA world junior championship. The 16-year-old Californian was among a handful of amateurs spending the day at Mamba Sports Academy, the top-flight gym co-founded by the late NBA star Kobe Bryant. They were there to see how science, technology, and data can augment conditioning and improve performance. Coli’s left ankle had been bothering him. “You can see over time that as these kids get older, the back leg hip rotation becomes much more limited,” Dean said, pointing out the shorter range of motion of the teenager’s left leg. “The symptom of this is ankle pain,” Dean continued as Coli, who tries to surf twice each day, grimaced. “So even though his balance and coordination are pretty spot on, we work to give Nico more mobility.”

Mamba Sports Academy emphasizes using science and data to boost achievement, something that has prompted NBA and NFL players to train there. Dean works alongside Tracy Axel, director of high-performance analytics for the Olympic team. They met in 2011, when Dean advised her on her graduate thesis, and in 2018 they published a paper in the International Journal of Exercise Science. The study—based on measurements from 19 elite surfers—found that an emphasis on building core and lower body strength, rotational power, and flexibility significantly improves ability, which may increase the odds of success in competition.

Marks was among eight Olympic hopefuls who met at Mamba in early 2019 for physiological and mental evaluation. They spent two days jumping and standing on sensor-laden platforms to analyze hip and groin imbalances, taking cognitive tests to judge reaction time, and having their body composition measured in an egg-shaped device called the Bod Pod. Each of them had a high chance of qualifying for the games, and USA Surfing wanted to establish a baseline of their fitness and conditioning to help their coaches develop programs with input from physiologists and other experts.

In the cognition lab, Marks smacked buttons in a test designed to assess her reaction time and peripheral vision. In the gym, she leaped off a box onto force plates that recorded her center of gravity and weight distribution as she landed. “I’d never done reaction time testing, or the balance of your right foot versus your left foot,” she says. These factors are key. “It’s amazing to have these tests show you that what you felt like is not always the reality. And the more information you know about your body, the better, I think.”

An emphasis on science and data seems like a no-brainer. But adopting the “Mamba mentality”—the phrase Bryant coined for this kind of all-in, focused preparation—can be tricky when it comes to merging Olympic team priorities with those of the athletes and their coaches.

Mike Parsons, a big-wave rider who was inducted into the Surfer’s Hall of Fame in 2008, works with Marks and her teammate Andino. Although Parsons welcomes Dean’s insights, they augment, but do not replace, his regimen. “Their programs are pretty specific and strict, from what they eat to their sleeping habits,” he says. “It was all pretty dialed in for the world tour, and they’ll likely stick to that routine for the Olympics too.” He pauses, then laughs. “The stakes are just a lot higher.”

That explains why Coach Simpson urges team USA to tap Dean’s expertise. “With the Olympics only coming every four years, the pros are nervous about messing up their routines,” Simpson says. “But they should be looking at this kind of training as an extension of their careers.”

Not everyone will embrace these new tools due to time, cost, personal preference, or just plain superstition. And even the best preparation is no guarantee of success in a sport that places everyone at the mercy of waves, weather, and other factors. No one ever thought a sea turtle would lay eggs on Tsurigasaki Beach near Tokyo during a trial run of the Olympic surfing format in July 2019. And no one expected to find themselves grinding through rapid-fire heats in brutal humidity and temperatures that reached 90 degrees during the ISA World Surfing Games two months later. At least in some ways, surfing will always be surfing, in all of its variable, unpredictable glory.

Monday round-up

This morning the Supreme Court will kick off October Term 2019 by hearing oral argument in three cases. First up is Kahler v. Kansas, which asks whether the Constitution allows states to abolish the insanity defense. Amy Howe previewed the case for this blog, in a post that first appeared at Howe on the Court. Joseph Grosser and Kayla Anderson have a preview at Cornell Law School’s Legal Information Institute. Subscript Law provides a graphic explainer for the case. Kalvis Golde reports for this blog that this is the first of three cases Kansas will argue during the next few weeks. At The Atlantic, Garrett Epps writes that “Kansas’s statute and others like it are relics of that time of hasty political grandstanding by both parties, the era that brought the nation mandatory minimums and mass incarceration,” and “Kahler’s hope is that the Court is feeling the social hangover that much of the country feels.”

This morning’s second argument is in Peter v. NantKwest, which asks whether a federal law allowing a patent applicant to seek review of a patent denial in district court but requiring the applicant to pay “all the expenses of the proceeding” includes expenses for Patent Office personnel, including attorneys. Ronald Mann had this blog’s preview. Cornell’s preview comes from Eric Cummings and Andrew Kingsbury.

The justices will return to the bench after lunch for a rare afternoon argument, in Ramos v. Louisiana, in which they will consider whether the Sixth Amendment’s guarantee of a unanimous jury applies to the states. This blog’s preview, which first appeared at Howe on the Court, came from Amy Howe. Philip Duggan and Connor Grant-Knight have a preview for Cornell. Subscript Law’s graphic explainer is here. In an op-ed for The National Law Journal (subscription or registration required), Richard Cullen and Stephen Bright argue that “[t]he unanimous jury rule is both good law and sound practice.” Additional commentary comes from Aliza Kaplan in an op-ed for The Oregonian. For the ABA Journal, Mark Walsh previews both Kahler and Ramos. The editorial board of the Los Angeles Times urges the court to rule for the convicted defendants in both cases.

Greg Stohr reports at Bloomberg that “[i]n its first full term with two Trump appointees, the court is planning to hear fights over gay and transgender rights, deportation protections and gun regulations,” in addition to an abortion case the justices added on Friday, making the term “a challenging one for Chief Justice John Roberts and his efforts to keep the court as removed as possible from the partisan fray.” Additional coverage of the new term comes from Brent Kendall and Jess Bravin for The Wall Street Journal (subscription required), Shannon Bream and Bill Mears at Fox News, Nina Totenberg at NPR, Richard Wolf for USA Today, David Savage for the Los Angeles Times, and Kevin Daley at The Daily Caller, who reports that the court is facing a “gauntlet of highly polarizing disputes that could make the relative comity of its previous term impossible to replicate.” In an op-ed at The Hill, Elizabeth Wydra writes that the term “is shaping up to be a category 5 political hurricane.” Carrie Severino and Gayle Trotter assert in an op-ed at Fox News (via How Appealing) that the court begins the term “in the face of unprecedented political pressure and threats to its independence.”

On Friday, the court granted five cert petitions, for a total of three hours of oral argument, including petitions in two cases consolidated under June Medical Services v. Gee, a challenge to Louisiana’s law requiring physicians who perform abortions to have admitting privileges at a local hospital. Amy Howe covers the grants for this blog; her coverage originally appeared at Howe on the Court. For The Wall Street Journal (subscription required), Brent Kendall reports that June Medical “marks the first time the Supreme Court will consider the issue of abortion rights since the addition of two Trump appointees, Justices Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh.” Additional coverage comes from Shannon Bream and Bill Mears at Fox News, Tony Mauro at The National Law Journal (subscription or registration required), Kevin Daley at the Daily Caller, and Nina Totenberg at NPR. Take Care’s symposium on the case is here. At CNN, Joan Biskupic reports that June Medical “could pose the thorniest challenge” to Chief Justice John Roberts in his quest to establish that “the court is above politics.” At The Economist’s Democracy in America blog, Steven Mazie agrees that “all eyes are on Chief Justice Roberts.”

The justices also agreed on Friday to review U.S. Forest Service v. Cowpasture River Preservation Association, involving the power of the Forest Service to grant rights of way through lands traversed by the Appalachian Trail. For The Washington Post (subscription required), Gregory Schneider reports that “[t]he high court’s intervention could remove a barrier for construction of the $7.5 billion, 600-mile Atlantic Coast Pipeline, which has been halted for nearly a year because of various permitting woes.”

The third case granted on Friday was United States v. Sineneng-Smith, a First Amendment challenge to a federal law making it a crime to encourage or cause illegal immigration for financial gain. At Bloomberg Law, Jordan Rubin reports that “[t]he dispute puts the hot-button immigration issue in front of the justices—with the added complexity of speech and criminal justice implications.”

Briefly:

For this blog, Katie Bart covers yesterday’s Red Mass, “a Roman Catholic liturgy held each year on the Sunday before the Supreme Court’s new term to ‘invoke God’s blessing on those responsible for the administration of justice.’”

At The National Law Journal (subscription or registration required), Tony Mauro explains “why the court’s sudden announcement Thursday that advocates will be given two minutes of uninterrupted time at the beginning of oral argument is such a big deal.”

At Final Decisions, Bryan Lammon surveys the “interesting appellate jurisdiction issues” on the Supreme Court’s merits and cert docket this term.

Jake Charles has compiled a list of pending cert petitions that “raise a variety of Second Amendment and firearms-related issues, including important questions of statutory interpretation and the scope of agency discretion,” at Second Thoughts.

At the Constitutional Accountability Center, Brian Frazelle offers an issue brief on the success rate of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce before the Supreme Court last term, concluding that “the overall data reveals that the conservative and more liberal Justices remain separated by a wide gulf in their likelihood of favoring big business, an entrenched divide that appears more likely to widen than to narrow.”

In a review at Law360 (subscription required), Judge Amul Thapar calls Justice Neil Gorsuch’s new book, “A Republic, If You Can Keep It,” “a must-read for all who care about our constitutional system.”

The Human Rights at Home Blog weighs in on three cases that ask whether federal law protects employees from discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity, arguing that, “[g]iven the stakes, including the serious international repercussions of defaulting on our human rights commitments, the Court should steer away from adopting a more restrictive definition [of the statutory language], and leave the matter to the legislature.”

At the Committee for Justice, Craig Trainor urges the court to hear Asaro v. United States, which asks whether basing a defendant’s sentence on conduct underlying a charge for which the defendant was acquitted violates the Constitution.

We rely on our readers to send us links for our round-up. If you have or know of a recent (published in the last two or three days) article, post, podcast or op-ed relating to the Supreme Court that you’d like us to consider for inclusion in the round-up, please send it to roundup [at] scotusblog.com. Thank you!

Match Report - 2018 Toyota AFL Grand Final - West Coast Eagles vs. Collingwood

The 2018 AFL Grand Final was one of the best we've seen for a long time. The best grand final of all time is open for debate and is down to individual interpretation, but 2018 was undoubtedly up there with the great finals of 2005, 2006 and 2009.

At quarter time, the game almost looked over already. The 2015 demons that West Coast were supposed to have put to rest had returned, and returned big time. Josh Kennedy missed a regulation set shot by his lofty standards.

What followed can only be described as a black and white barrage. Travis Varcoe streamed through the arc in signature style to kick the opening goal of the match. Jaidyn Stephenson, Jordan De Goey and Will Hoskin-Elliot piled on a further 4 goals before the first break.

At this point, West Coast fans could be forgiven for thinking this was going to be a repeat of their 2015 nightmare.

Enter William Rioli.

The latest instalment of the Rioli show kicked his first ever grand final goal when he bundled the ball over the line off his shin.

Kennedy snapped truly with less than a minute to the first break, providing his side with some much needed lift.

The 2nd quarter was an arm wrestle. It was an endless onslaught of high pressure finals football, with neither team giving. Jordan De Goey launched from outside 50 and split the middle to kick the first goal of the quarter after 20 minutes of stagnation.

Two quick goals from the Eagles cut the margin back to within 3 kicks, with Hutchings and Shuey both converting before the main break.

If the Eagles were hanging on at quarter time, they were right back in the contest at the main break.

And they couldn't have started the premiership quarter in better fashion.

Luke Shuey started the 3rd as he finished the 2nd by breaking free from the first bounce and hoofing the ball inside 50 to find Kennedy, who this time made no mistake, calmly slotting from 45 metres.

Mason Cox was finally able to shake Tom Barrass and take his first meaningful mark of the game. The Texan went back and calmly slotted his first goal of the day from 30 metres.

Jack Darling shook his early nerves to take contested marks in the quarter and goaled to put the Eagles back within a kick for the first time since the ten minute mark of the first quarter.

Then came the moment that had all Collingwood fans choking on their pies.

Taylor Adams tried to pickout Jaidyn Stephenson, but the young gun had his run at the footy blocked by his own runner, leaving Elliot Yeo to take an uncontested mark 50 from home.

And boy, did he make the most of it.

Yeo calmly slotted from beyond the arc, following it up with a celebration that would've made Goku proud.

The Eagles weren't just back in the contest, they were in front.

When the final break rolled around, the scores were locked at 55 a piece. But now, it felt like the Pies were the ones holding on, with the Eagles on the charge.

Two minutes later however, most Eagles fans would've had their hearts in their mouths.

Collingwood blasted out of the gates in the last quarter and kicked two goals in the first two minutes, with Brody Mihocek snapping truly. Then, Steele Sidebottom found Jordan De Goey, who once again blasted home one of the great grand final goals from beyond the arc.

Stunned, the Eagles found themselves playing catch up once again. But they weren't about to pack up and go home.

Scott Lycett launched the ball inside 50 for the Eagles. Nathan Vardy stood tallest, taking one of the best contested grabs of his career. He went back and converted from 40 metres. It was game on once again.

Brayden Maynard bombed the ball inside 50, Cox managed to wrestle his way in front of Barrass and take a great contested mark 40 metres from home. It looked beyond his range, but Cox looked confident as ever. It wobbled its way home and re-established a two goal break for the Pies.

This could well have been the sealer against a lesser side, but this resilient Eagles outfit still had something left in the tank.

Liam Ryan was able to break free and deliver an inch perfect pass down the throat of Josh Kennedy deep in the pocket. He was calm under pressure and was able to slot his 3rd major of the match from close range to put his side back within a kick.

The next ten minutes saw the ball camped in West Coast's forward half, but the Eagles failed to convert. Liam Ryan missed a simple dibble and then he, along with Chris Masten and Josh Kennedy, all missed very getable set shots that would've put the game to bed.

You felt that these misses from the Eagles were costly, and if Collingwood got out the back they would punish them.

They so very nearly did.

Will Hoskin-Elliot was able to slam a long bomb on the boot, and it rolled through for what looked like the goal that would win the flag.

But Tom Barrass had one last act of heroics left in store, with the replay showing he got a finger to the ball.

The next five minutes were some of the most pulsating in grand final history.

The Eagles were under siege, but this was the best defensive unit in the AFL, and they weren't going to let this game slip now.

Adam Treloar pumped the ball inside 50 from the wing, it looked dangerous.

But it was going to take something special to get past the best intercept defender the AFL has ever seen.

With 2:39 left on the clock, Jeremy McGovern took an enormous pack mark over teammate Lewis Jetta.

What followed can only be described as the best passage of play for the entire 2018 season.

McGovern quickly played on, and found Nathan Vardy at centre wing. Vardy stopped for a moment, before sending the ball towards Liam Ryan.

Ryan was able to take a fantastic contested mark in a pack of four players. He wasted no time, quickly playing on and delivered the ball inside 50 for the Eagles.

Brayden Maynard and Willie Rioli sat under the ball, jostling with each other. In terms of infringements, it was six of one, half a dozen of the other.

All eyes fell on umpire Brett Rosebury and, more importantly, his whistle.

It remained unmoved, which set the stage for Dom Sheed to float across the front of the pack and take a mark with just 2:15 to play.

This was it. The entire 2018 campaign for both the West Coast Eagles and Collingwood came down to this moment.

Sheed went back and, cold as ice, slotted one of the great match winning goals. His goal put the Eagles up by 4 points under 2 minutes to play.

He turned to the black and white faithful and puffed out his chest. He had just snatched victory from the jaws of defeat.

The Eagles would go on to lock the footy in their forward half for the remaining minute and 45 seconds, Luke Shuey was able to break free of a contest and put the ball on a platter for an unmanned Jack Darling in the goal square, who dropped an absolute sitter.

The ball wouldn't leave the Eagles forward half for the remaining minute, and when the final siren sounded the MCG erupted with blue and gold.

It was a Grand Final for the ages, and it saw the West Coast Eagles win their 4th premiership in their short but fruitful 32 year history.

Lance Franklin fires for Sydney Swans against GWS, Hawthorn Hawks edge out St Kilda

Updated August 18, 2018 22:33:14 Map: Australia The Swans secure an AFL final berth with a win against the Giants and the Hawks scrape home against the Saints, as the Magpies, Cats and Lions also post victories. Quick navigation Buddy Franklin fires as Swans down Giants

Photo: Lance Franklin (L) and Daniel Hannebery show their delight in the win against the Giants. (AAP: Brendon Thorne) A barnstorming Lance Franklin has lifted Sydney to a 20-point victory over GWS, booting five goals and spearheading a second-half comeback that could have major ramifications in the race to the finals. The Swans trailed for most of the derby in Homebush and were behind by 21 points during the third term of the low-scoring scrap when they lifted, inspired by Franklin for the umpteenth time this season. Franklin kicked the sealer and consistently troubled GWS, as he did while earning the three Brownlow Medal votes last year at the same venue. The Swans' yips threatened to prove costly but their speed and slick ball movement in the final quarter, in sharp contrast to an undermanned GWS outfit reeling from more injuries, meant they bagged the premiership points. Sydney, written off as finals contenders three weeks ago, is now in the mix for a top-four spot after triumphing 11.14 (80) to 8.12 (60). External Link:Giants v Swans summary GWS co-captain Phil Davis, who played on Franklin during the first term, limped off the ground and into the rooms during the second quarter after being crunched in a marking contest by teammate Rory Lobb. It proved a match-defining moment. Davis played on after halftime despite the painful hip injury but was stationed up forward because he was so badly restricted, leaving Franklin to torment Jeremy Finlayson. Franklin lifted his career tally to 917 goals to overtake Leigh Matthews and clamber into eighth spot on the VFL/AFL's list of all-time goalkickers. External Link:Giants v Swans stats Franklin, who was awarded the Brett Kirk Medal, has struggled to train this year because of a sore heel but continues to stand up in clutch moments for the Swans. Davis, Ryan Griffen (hamstring), Jeremy Finlayson (foot) and Daniel Lloyd (cut eye) kept GWS's medical department, overworked throughout an injury-cursed season, busy. The Giants, pushed to exhaustion during the past fortnight after finishing with no fit players on the bench against Carlton then one fit man on the bench against Adelaide, ran out of puff in the final term. The rivals forecast a finals-like contest and they did not disappoint, piling on immense pressure and rattling each other in a series of big collisions. Hawks hold off brave Saints

(AAP: Daniel Pockett) Hawthorn has held off an outstanding challenge from St Kilda to win by four points at Docklands, setting up a massive clash next week with Sydney. The Saints rallied from a week of intense scrutiny to nearly pull off one of the season's biggest upsets, though the Hawks won 12.8 (80) to 11.10 (76). St Kilda kicked the only goal of the last quarter as the two teams defended grimly. Hawks pair Jack Gunston and Jarman Impey took crucial marks late in the match as the Saints pressed hard. Hawthorn stayed fourth and is level on points with the fifth-placed Swans, who beat GWS earlier on Saturday night. The winner of the Sydney-Hawthorn SCG clash next Saturday night will finish in the top four. Hawthorn lost veteran key defender James Frawley in the third term with a back injury. External Link:Saints v Hawks summary Jarryn Geary, who was outstanding on Hawks playmaker Isaac Smith, was forced off the field in the last term because of a head knock. Gunston was best afield, kicking four goals and then going into defence late in the match, while the poise of veteran Shaun Burgoyne was crucial. Midfielder Jack Steele was best for the Saints and Jack Lonie kicked a career-best four goals. The game went according to script in the first quarter, with Hawthorn kicking four goals to one. While the Saints were on top in clearances and had more possessions, Hawthorn was more efficient and looked ready to break the game open. But the momentum swung dramatically in the second term as the Saints hit back. External Link:Saints v Hawks stats The lead changed six times and Hawthorn only led by five points at the main break. St Kilda was well on top in clearances 28-17 and was up in contested possessions as well, as they put the Hawks under mounting pressure. But the Saints have had a bad habit of dropping away through the middle of games. The signs were bad when Hawthorn went on a four-goal run to lead by a game-high 24 points in the third quarter. But Lonie kicked three goals late in the third term and the Saints were only nine points down at the last break. Jade Gresham, another of the Saints' best players, kicked a goal two minutes into the last quarter - but it proved the last goal of the game. Magpies zero in on top four with win over Port

Photo: Travis Varcoe (R) celebrates with Brody Mihocek after kicking a goal for the Magpies. (AAP: David Crosling) Port Adelaide's season is hanging by a thread, while a top-four finish is within Collingwood's reach after it stormed home to down the Power by 51 points at the MCG. The Magpies held a narrow lead at the final break on Saturday afternoon before booting seven goals to one to run out 17.13 (115) to 10.4 (64) winners. The thumping victory lifts the Magpies to third on the ladder and should be enough to secure a double-chance with lowly Fremantle awaiting in round 23. Ruckman Brodie Grundy starred with 41 hitouts, 25 disposals and a goal, Mason Cox (eight marks) was imposing in the air and Taylor Adams, Steele Sidebottom and Chris Mayne were prolific ball winners. A week after losing to West Coast with a goal after the siren, the Power were again found wanting in a high-stakes game, squandering a promising start and managing just one goal after five minutes of the third quarter. External Link:Magpies v Power summary The Power have now lost five of their past six games and while the Magpies continue to find a way despite a growing injury toll, Ken Hinkley's men look ill-prepared for the September cauldron. They must beat Essendon at Adelaide Oval next Friday night and hope Melbourne lose both their remaining games to stand any chance of making the eight. The Power had the early ascendancy, restricting Scott Pendlebury and Steele Sidebottom with hard tags but the Pies turned the tables with the first three goals of the second quarter. Off-contract Port wingman Jared Polec showed why rivals are queuing to secure his services, weaving through traffic and kicking truly from 40 metres to break Collingwood's run. External Link:Magpies v Power stats But the Magpies were dominating the midfield battle, led by Adams who had 16 disposals and a goal during a brilliant second quarter. Missing spearhead Charlie Dixon to a season-ending leg injury, the Power looked disorganised in their forward half and reluctant to take the game on. A chance to take the lead went begging when the Power dropped their bundle in front of goals, handballing among themselves until Collingwood rushed a behind. The game descended into a scrap after half-time and while the Power trailed by just 13 points at the final break, it took a matter of minutes for a fast-finishing Collingwood to put the result beyond doubt. Ruckman Paddy Ryder booted three majors despite being hampered by a hip injury while Ollie Wines and Steven Motlop fought hard in the midfield. Pies forward Jordan De Goey finished the game on the bench with ice on his calf. Cats smash woeful Dockers by 133 points

Photo: The Cats and Dockers contest the ball as hail comes down at Kardinia Park. (AAP: Julian Smith) Ruthless Geelong kicked a record 23 successive goals against lamentable Fremantle at Kardinia Park to record a 133-point victory that propelled the Cats back into the top eight. The 13th-placed Dockers actually had the best of the opening exchanges and led by nine points at quarter-time on a cold, wet day in Geelong, It turned out to be falsest of false dawns as the visitors were held goalless for the remaining three quarters in what ended up being the heaviest defeat in club history. External Link:Cats v Freo summary The Cats blew the match wide open by kicking 10 goals to nil in the second quarter, with even a heavy rainstorm midway through the term failing to stem the onslaught. The carnage continued in the second half as the Cats powered away to a 24.14 (158) to 3.7 (25) win. All Geelong need to do to guarantee a finals berth for the 11th time in the past 12 years is win again at Kardinia Park next weekend against a Gold Coast team that has recorded only one victory since round five. The Cats replaced Port Adelaide in the top eight after the Power faded badly in a 51-point loss to Collingwood earlier in the day. External Link:Cats v Freo stats Geelong spearhead Tom Hawkins kicked a game-high six goals to close within four majors of Richmond's Jack Riewoldt in the Coleman Medal race. Youngster Brandan Parfitt chimed in with a career-high four goals and Tim Kelly continued his remarkable debut season, tallying 26 possessions and three goals. But the biggest cheer of the day was reserved for returning hero Gary Ablett, who kicked his 400th career goal late in the final term with a brilliant curling snap from the left forward pocket. Captain Nat Fyfe and veteran David Mundy were a small handful of Dockers who kept plugging away all day. Lions beat Suns in fiery QClash

Photo: Mitch Robinson (C) has a heated exchange with Sean Lemmens (R) in the QClash. (AAP: Darren England) Brisbane has narrowly prevailed over the Gold Coast, with Queensland's AFL rivalry continuing to grow in the four-point win. The Lions rallied from nine points down in the final term to pip the Suns 10.18 (78) to 11.8 (74) and overturn a five-point QClash loss earlier this season in another fiery contest in Carrara. The lead fluctuated in a sloppy but hard-fought second half as the young Suns, led by Alex Sexton (four goals) and Brayden Fiorini (32 disposals) threatened a boilover. But Brisbane withstood the pressure and did enough in the final 20 minutes to consign the Suns to a seventh loss and winless campaign at home this season. The derby fire was sparked on Thursday when Brisbane defender Nick Robertson said the Suns were soft. External Link:Suns v Lions summary And, after a bit of general niggle, that fire erupted in the second term when Sean Lemmens' collected young Lion Brandon Starcevich with a high spoil. Players came from all corners in front of 11,907 spectators, with Dayne Zorko sent flying in the chaos by his chief antagonist Touk Miller. The Suns had edged back into the contest prior to the incident, helped by the first-quarter exit of Lions defender Alex Witherden (hamstring). Sexton scored from both pockets before Jack Bowes also threaded the needle as the young Suns midfield held their own. Brisbane's inaccuracy cost them, with Eric Hipwood missing his first five shots at goal and Daniel Rich missing from in front before the Suns hit the lead for the first time in the third term. External Link:Suns v Lions stats Cameron Rayner did his best to improve their ratio with a booming 60-metre effort, while Luke Hodge was a brick wall with five first-quarter intercepts. Brisbane took an early 20-point lead but the Suns lifted their workrate and took their chances as the game grew in intensity. Gold Coast got within six at the main break and had the lead soon after the restart. Harris Andrews' goal - the Lions' sole major for the quarter - put the Lions in front by three after a sloppy third term. Gold Coast, again through some Sexton brilliance, regained the lead before the Lions made the most of their luck to land the final blow. First Allen Christensen kicked straight after being gifted a 50-metre penalty, before a stray kick off the deck went straight to an unmarked Dayne Beams (38 touches) for what would be the decisive goal.

WEST Coast has recalled midfielder Dom Sheed for his first game since round 13 when the Eagles take on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium on Sunday afternoon.

MIDFIELD young gun Dom Sheed is finally in for West Coast. Nathan Vardy has also been named to help fill the sizeable void left by superstar ruckman Nic Naitanui who will miss the rest of the season after suffering another serious knee injury. Defensive playmaker Hayden Crozier (hamstring) and key tall Tom Boyd (back) return from injury for the Bulldogs at the expense of premiership defender Shane Biggs and youngster Patrick Lipinski. Premiership Hawk Taylor Duryea and Tim O'Brien have been omitted from Hawthorn's side to face Carlton at Etihad Stadium, with young gun James Sicily to be sidelined for six weeks with a wrist injury. The Hawks have called on impressive youngster James Worpel, along with swingman Ryan Schoenmakers and defender Kaiden Brand. The Blues, meanwhile, have made a total of four changes as they look to end an eight-game losing run. Jacob Weitering, Levi Casboult, Matthew Lobbe and Matthew Wright come in to replace ruckman Matthew Kreuzer (managed) and utility Jed Lamb (suspended), while defender Sam Rowe and livewire Jarrod Garlett have been dropped. The game will mark Lobbe's first senior game for Carlton after a 92-game stint with Port Adelaide. Brett Deledio returns for Greater Western Sydney's crunch clash with Port Adelaide of Adelaide Oval, while fellow veteran Ryan Griffen will miss because of a hamstring injury. Robbie Gray will play for the Power despite suffering a concussion in last Sunday's shock nine-point loss to Fremantle. Sturt premiership player Jarrod Lienert will make his AFL debut, while dashing defender Jasper Pittard will play just his sixth senior game of the season.

20 THOUGHTS: Most Boundaries?

WHO would you rather be?

Jye Simpkin, who lost touch on Anthony McDonald- Tipungwuti in the dying seconds Saturday afternoon?

Maybe Trent Boult, who took the catch cleanly off Ben Stokes before stepping on the boundary to result in a six?

Or Roger Federer, who had two match points for his 21st slam before ultimately losing the fifth set to his Serbian rival?

Probably Alan Richardson, who has had no luck with injuries, has shown a lot on field to be honest, and doesn’t even make it to the end of July. Simpkin, Boult, Federer – they could only blame themselves for minor errors. Richo? Probably couldn’t have done anymore, even with the benefit of hindsight.

But that’s footy.

1. So we start at St Kilda – we thought Richo would be ok given the circumstances we described last week. But the writing was on the wall that with his record, over six years, there just wasn’t enough to justify the faith Hardwick and Buckley received. So now, is it Brad Scott, the guy who walked early to be on pole position for a vacancy, or Brett Ratten, the former Hawks’ assistant who the Saints got ‘mysteriously’ last offseason to be ‘just’ an assistant coach?

It’s rather simple. Brad Scott’s career winning percentage as a coach, is 50%, Brett Ratten, despite being at Carlton, is also at 50%, he got sacked in a year he went 11-11, not something like 6-16, and for the Hawthorn three-peat was in the coaching box next to Clarkson. If its out of those two, sorry Brad, you’re just not even close despite making yourself available for exactly such a scenario. Ratts is not just a good caretaker, he is the next in line for a senior gig – period.

2. Mind you, here’s a theory. There’s a coach out there right now in a long-term gig, who if you believe the whispers on the nose with his board and even his supporter base as well. This same coach also has coached the most Grand Finals in the last ten years aside from Al Clarkson. And, this same coach, whilst leaving on suspect terms, also has a lot of credits still in the bank with the Saints. That coach is Ross Lyon, a 50-50 chance to be moved on by Fremantle, the coach who has a record of making Grand Finals and who could come back to Moorabbin and try and go one further than 2009/2010. Sure, left on less-than-great terms but the current admin wasn’t the admin when he walked. I couldn’t rule out a reconciliation and an almighty chapter two in the Lyon-Saints story.

3. As for Carlton and David Teague, wow, he isn’t just going right on the park with results, he has got that playing group completely sold. Ross Lyon’s greatest strength is the bond he forges with the playing group, you still hear St Kilda legends talk in such high praise for their former coach, its very noticeable. The same things are emanating out of Ikon Park for ‘Teaguey’. And whilst Chris Judd, despite the shocking attempt at a false backtrack, and the Board wanting an experienced coach, the playing group is that enamoured with playing for Teaguey, and if the results stack up, he has to be a strong contender to continue for sure.

4. So whats this say about Brendan Bolton? Usually, and like I make the point with Ratten earlier, Al Clarkson assistants are money. Last three premiership coaches, all former Hawks’ assistants. But Bolton is the outlier? Now too that David Teague has swept the playing group off their feet. We thought Bolton was a bit stuff, blaming the long-term rut Carlton has been in for his non-success. But in hindsight, was there something about the Bolton approach that despite his well-credential apprenticeship, he just wouldn’t cut it? Now, I’d say most probably.

5. Have penned something about the Gold Coast being salvageable in more detail, but gee, this is a rabble of a club. At one point, Round 16, 2014, they were 9 wins and 6, in the eight and looking like making their first finals campaign. Gary Ablett does his shoulder against the Pies and misses the rest of the season. Since that injury, they are 24 wins and 78 losses. That’s five-win season pace in basically five years of football. In that time West Coast have had time to be awesome, then shit, then win a flag. It’s a long time of real mediocrity.

6. But remember, the AFL has pumped in over $200m into the Gold Coast, so the idea of a quick retreat to engage Tasmania needs a fair bit more than what you and I think of over a cheeky pint on a Friday night. Tassie prospects look good, but the AFL-Suns breakup ain’t that close with that sort of investment to date, I’m sorry.

7. Quickly on the cricket. My Lord, that’s the worst rule of all time. At least with soccer, whilst we don’t like penalties deciding a world cup, they don’t stop at five spot kicks each and declare the winner based on who had the most shots on goal within the 90 minutes. Or in tennis, if it ends two sets all, six games all declaring the winner on who has hit the most aces. Just terrible. ICC, get serious.

8. Mind you, did you know, that if two teams finish equal eighth in the AFL, exact same for Points, but also the exact same For and Against, that to decide who plays finals and who finishes ninth, in the official rules, would come down to a coin toss. Dead serious.

9. And I tell you, smokey for middle order in the Ashes – Matty Wade. Second most Shield runs in the summer just gone behind Marcus Harris, and has smashed not only two white ball centuries for Australia A in England, but in his first red-ball hitout in the same tour hit a ton as well. No other middle order candidate is banging down the door, so Wade’s every chance to get a gig at 5 or 6 at this rate.

10. Can we pin the balloon somewhat of the Brisbane Lions resurgence? Bear with. From Round 6 to 17, 11 games of footy, only four games against top 8 teams from last year, or worst still only two games against current top 8 teams. If you go from Round 6 to include Round 21 coming up, that’s five games only against last year’s top 8 and still only two games against teams currently in the 8. It gets worse – they play the Gold Coast twice before their first games against Geelong and Richmond in the last two rounds, and when you isolate records against current top four teams they are as good as Carlton, or records against current top eight teams as good as Footscray. Soft draw much?

11. Speaking of Footscray, please, please, I know its not a well-thought through argument but please revert to Footscray and not the Western Bulldogs. The nostalgia on Sunday was just terrific, and to play the original song at the end was something diehard Doggies fans, or should I say Scragger fans was awesome.

12. Couple on Carlton, good and bad. Firstly good, the breakout star of the comp might not be Sam Walsh, but Harry McKay. Have called this very early in the season, but after another strong aerial performance against Sydney where he took nine marks, its Round 18 this week and the 21-year-old still leads the league for contested marks. If a forward is leading that category these days and not say a Jeremy McGovern for example, that’s epic. He is a star.

13. Bad news, again, this column called it early too but finally the Blues dropped Mitch McGovern for being pudgy. Never good to fat-shame someone, but you’re getting paid that much, I could say a lot worse than advising the Blues new-boy to you know what, maybe say no to seconds at the dinner table occasionally yeah?

14. Good to see the folks at the Herald Sun read the opening installment to the Get Serious Top 50 last Thursday. No-one talks about Robbie Tarrant’s value until this column got him in at number 48, and low and behold a couple days later a piece on their website about whether he is the most underrated player in the league? Not to this column’s readers he ain’t, move along now, but nice to know they’re on board with the Top 50.

15. I know there was a lot of love for Tippa’s winner on Saturday night, and his overall game too which was fantastic. But has anyone dished any kudos to Jayden Laverde for his role in that goal? The gather, alluding a couple Roos and the handball execution under that much pressure, I thought it was as outstanding as the finish. Well done Jayden, we noticed.

16. West Coast, hmm, David King still thinks they’re Christmas. I though they would win enough games to get top two, but that took a shot with their loss last Friday. They smashed Freo, but only just beat Hawthorn in the wet and capitulated to Sydney last month at the same venue where Carlton won just last weekend. Not motoring just yet, they are not going back-to-back, can’t see it. My flag tip as of July 16th – Richmond. They just have to finish fourth to play Geelong and its done.

17. Jack Darling, often maligned by this column, and today is again no different. Sure, he has at times looked like John Coleman, but if you can’t stand up in perfect conditions against Brayden Maynard, who you made look like Stephen Silvagni on a Stephen Dank supplements program, then you’re only as good as your last performance for mine. Kennedy, first up, on a very good Jordan Roughead – excused. Darling on a bloke he had both inches and kgs on, didn’t fire a shot. Poor.

18. Pies might lose Pendles for a match, a month, not sure, but that was much better, that last 45 minutes was as good a footy against solid opposition as you’ll see. When West Coast lost to Sydney, they were trash. But for two and a half quarters last Friday the Eagles looked like the machine of late last year. So the performance by the Maggies, alongside the return of Taylor Adams and Jeremy Howe this week, is very much a good news story in lieu of their September aspriations.

19. Orazio Fantasia’s form since the story, or non-story, about his desire to be traded home to South Australia, depending on which version you believe, has been mightily patchy. And its either because the story is true and he is off-guard lying about it, or he can’t handle the distraction of a rumour with no substance. My gut feel is still the former.

20. And lastly, completely random – why do some people think petrol pump hoses only extend ten inches? Why do they whose cars have the petrol cap say on the left hand side of the car, prefer to queue up behind six cars for a pump on the left, when the pumps on the right are totally vacant. I’m yet to see a fuel hose that would not extend all the way around or over a Hummer if need be, so please, if your guilty of this basic human shortcoming – why?

Around the state leagues: Who’s starred for your club?

State league affiliate: Adelaide (SANFL) This weekend: Sturt v Adelaide – Saturday, July 1, 2.10pm, Peter Motley Oval

Dumped forward Andy Otten picked up 15 disposals, three hit-outs and two goals in Adelaide’s 52-point loss to Sturt at Peter Motley Oval on Saturday.

Tom Doedee led the disposal count for his side with 23 while draftees Myles Poholke (22) and Jordan Gallucci (17) also won the footy.

Otten, 28, had played every game in the senior side this year up until this weekend and booted 17 goals.

Sturt trailed by five points at quarter-time but kicked away to post a 17.17 (119) to 10.7 (67) victory.

Returning from a hamstring injury, speedster Travis Varcoe was managed in his first game in two months and featured in each quarter of the Magpies’ thrilling five-point win.

Defender Ben Reid played well after being omitted and bobbed up forward to kick a goal from just beyond the 50m arc, while midfielder Jarryd Blair didn’t stop trying through the middle.

Axed forward Ben Crocker kicked the match-winning goal with his clever snap in the dying minutes handing the Magpies a six-point advantage.

Collingwood secured the win after Bulldogs’ hit the post with a shot at goal after the siren that would have drawn the match.

State league affiliate: Essendon (VFL) This weekend: Essendon v Richmond – Saturday, July 1, 2.10pm, Windy Hill

Young forward Jayden Laverde emerged unscathed in his first game of the season as Essendon fell six points short of Richmond at Windy Hill on Saturday afternoon.

Laverde had ankle surgery in March. He played three quarters of game time and pulled up well.

Promising defender Aaron Francis lined up in the backline and defended strongly, with his intercept marking impressive.

David Myers racked up 35 disposals as an onballer and was clean with the footy while Jackson Merrett slotted three goals.

Veteran Brent Stanton played on the wing and offered plenty of run.

Richmond edged out the Bombers in a hotly contested game, 12.8 (80) to 10.14 (74).

State league affiliate: Peel Thunder (WAFL) This weekend: Peel Thunder v Claremont – Saturday, July 1, 2.15pm, Bendigo Bank Stadium

Young defender Ryan Nyhuis was impressive in Peel’s two-point win, gathering a match-high 30 disposals and six marks in wet and muddy conditions.

The 20-year-old, who is yet to debut since being recruited with pick No.34 in the 2015 NAB AFL Rookie Draft, provided good rebound from defence.

Defender Zac Dawson returned to the backline after featuring at the opposite end of the ground in recent weeks and fitted in seamlessly with 17 touches and seven marks, while first-year rookie Taylin Duman was also solid down back with 22 disposals.

Axed forward Shane Kersten kicked an equal game-high two goals in his first appearance for Peel since joining Fremantle in last year’s exchange period from Geelong.

State league affiliate: Geelong (VFL) This weekend: Geelong v Coburg – Saturday, July 1, 1pm, Simonds Stadium

Returning young gun Brandan Parfitt picked up 26 disposals and a goal in his first game back from a hamstring injury in Geelong’s 85-point win against Coburg at Simonds Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

He also laid nine tackles.

Parfitt was nominated for the NAB Rising Star after round three and was injured against Collingwood in round six.

The Cats posted a comfortable victory, 19.12 (126) to 6.5 (41).

State league affiliate: Gold Coast (NEAFL) This weekend: Gold Coast v Aspley – Saturday, July 1, 12.55pm, Metricon Stadium

Tough midfielder Michael Rischitelli notched up 27 disposals and a goal in Gold Coast’s dominant 127-point win against Aspley at Metricon Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

Tall rookie Cameron Loersch booted seven goals to combine with his 17 disposals and eight marks.

Dropped youngster Darcy MacPherson had 31 disposals, nine marks and four goals.

Matt Shaw was the leading ball-winner for his side with 39 disposals and two goals while Mitch Hallahan (32 and one) and draftee Jack Bowes (28) were also prolific.

Rischitelli has played three games since returning from a right knee reconstruction.

The respected onballer is out of contract at the end of the season.

Gold Coast held Aspley scoreless in the first half on its way to a 25.13 (163) to 5.6 (36) victory.

State league affiliate: GWS Giants (NEAFL) This weekend: GWS Giants v NT Thunder – Saturday, July 1, 3.15pm, Spotless Stadium

Draftee Will Setterfield had 31 disposals and two goals in Greater Western Sydney’s four-point loss to the Northern Territory Thunder at Spotless Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

He wasn’t the only first-round selection from last year to flourish, as Harry Perryman finished with 27 disposals and two goals while Isaac Cumming collected 26 himself.

Former Docker Tendai Mzungu won 20 disposals.

It was Setterfield’s second-straight game since returning from an ankle syndesmosis injury he suffered in April.

The Giants led by four points at the final break but couldn’t hold on as the Thunder won 15.7 (97) to 14.9 (93).

• Nine things we learned from round 15

State league affiliate: Box Hill Hawks (VFL) This weekend: Northern Blues v Box Hill Hawks – Sunday, July 2, 2pm, Preston City Oval

Maligned forward Ty Vickery kicked three goals in his team’s 22-point win.

Vickery, whose last game for the Hawks was in the round 11 loss to Port Adelaide, was joined among the Hawks’ best by youngster Teia Miles.

Second-year forward Kade Stewart kicked a goal and impressed with his pressure acts, while onballer Brendan Whitecross also added a major.

State league affiliate: Casey Demons (VFL) This weekend: Port Melbourne v Casey Demons – Saturday, July 1, 2pm, North Port Oval

Rookie midfielder Corey Maynard continued his push for a senior debut by collecting a team-high 32 possessions in Casey’s 65-point loss.

Ball-winners Ben Kennedy (29 disposals), Jay Kennedy-Harris (27, one goal) and Dean Kent (23, one goal) responded positively after being banned from selection for Friday night’s loss to Sydney.

The trio, along with ruckman Jake Spencer, were not considered for senior call-ups after breaking team rules by drinking alcohol following last Saturday’s VFL game against Box Hill.

Rookie Joel Smith returned from a left shoulder reconstruction he suffered in his AFL debut in round one against St Kilda, gathering 21 disposals.

An inaccurate Casey managed just five goals for the match.

State league affiliate: Werribee (VFL) This weekend: Sandringham v Werribee – Sunday, July 2, 2pm, Trevor Barker Beach Oval

Draftee Jy Simpkin made his first appearance since recovering from shoulder surgery, playing between the forward line and midfield in the six-point loss.

Simpkin, who played six of the first eight games for the Kangaroos before going down with injury against Sydney in round eight, finished with a goal.

A Werribee spokesman told AFL.com.au on Sunday that Simpkin “ran the game out really well”.

Draftee Nick Larkey, who was taken with North’s final pick in last year’s draft, kicked four goals and hit the post on two occasions.

Second-year rookie Will Fordham used his hard-running ability through the centre and kicked two goals, while fellow rookie Cameron Zurhaar followed suit up forward with two goals of his own.

Defender Sam Wright took part in his second consecutive game since overcoming a foot/ankle injury and played out the game.

State league affiliate: Port Adelaide (SANFL) This weekend: Woodville-West Torrens v Port Adelaide – Saturday, July 1, 2.10pm, Maughan Thiem Hyundai Oval

Out-of-contract runner Jimmy Toumpas collected 27 disposals in Port Adelaide’s 27-point loss to Woodville-West Torrens at Maughan Thiem Hyundai Oval on Saturday afternoon.

Tough onballer Joe Atley had 25 himself and kicked a goal, to go along with 13 tackles.

Mature-age pick-up Brett Eddy booted three goals.

Big-bodied midfielder Brendon Ah Chee finished with 24 disposals.

Toumpas has played 10 matches in his two seasons since crossing over from Melbourne.

The Magpies led by 10 points at the main break but were run over by the Eagles, 12.13 (85) to 8.10 (58).

State league affiliate: Richmond (VFL) This weekend: Essendon v Richmond – Saturday, July 1, 2.10pm, Windy Hill

Inside midfielder Anthony Miles racked up 36 disposals for Richmond in its six-point win against Essendon at Windy Hill on Saturday afternoon.

Taylor Hunt was named the best player for the Tigers as he finished with 28 disposals.

Draftee Ryan Garthwaite bagged two goals.

The Tigers held on for victory in a tough game, 12.8 (80) to 10.14 (74).

State league affiliate: Sandringham (VFL) This weekend: Sandringham v Werribee – Sunday, July 2, 2pm, Trevor Barker Beach Oval

Hard-running backman Daniel McKenzie took out best-on-ground honours in the Zebras’ six-point win courtesy of his defensive rebounding ability.

The 21-year-old sat out the final quarter for Sandringham last weekend after receiving a knock between his hip and coccyx.

Another key contributor, Shane Savage, used his 115-games experience to win contests and drift forward for two goals.

Big man Tom Hickey was the dominant ruckman on the ground and kicked a goal, adding a little more pressure on first-choice ruckman Billy Longer.

State league affiliate: Sydney (NEAFL) This weekend: Canberra v Sydney – Saturday, July 1, 12pm, UNSW Canberra Oval

Sydney defender Alex Johnson made a remarkable comeback to football as he picked up eight disposals and kicked a goal in the opening half as the Swans beat Canberra by 91 points at UNSW Canberra Oval on Saturday afternoon.

Watched on by several teammates, including Lance Franklin and Dan Hannebery, Johnson emerged unscathed in his first game for 1,736 days, when he played against Gold Coast in a pre-season match and ruptured the ACL in his left knee.

He has had five knee reconstructions.

Meanwhile, Dan Robinson (32 disposals and one goal), James Rose (30 disposals and 3.4) and Jordan Foote (29 and one) all won plenty of the ball.

Tall option Callum Sinclair picked up 26 disposals and 3.3 while defender Aliir Aliir had 21 disposals and kicked 2.2.

The Swans booted 14 goals to half-time before cruising home 20.18 (138) to 7.5 (47).

State league affiliate: East Perth (WAFL) This weekend: East Perth v East Fremantle – Saturday, July 1, 2.15pm, Leederville Oval

Ruck duo Scott Lycett and Jonathan Giles made light work of their smaller East Fremantle opponent in the 61-point win, combining for a monster 122 hit-outs to 17.

Playing his fourth game since overcoming shoulder surgery, Lycett had 67 hit-outs, 21 disposals, laid six tackles and kicked a goal to suggest he is on the verge of earning a senior call-up.

Fellow tall Fraser McInnes featured in the forward line and finished with 17 disposals and three goals, including two majors in the first quarter.

Second-year onballer Kurt Mutimer also relished the wet conditions with his 32 touches, eight inside 50s, seven tackles and two goals, while rookie Jordan Snadden began well but was concussed before half-time.

State league affiliate: Footscray (VFL) This weekend: Collingwood v Footscray – Sunday, July 2, 11.45am, Victoria Park

Veteran defender Matthew Boyd led the stats sheet with 26 disposals in Footscray’s five-point loss.

It was the 34-year-old’s third consecutive VFL appearance since being omitted following the round 12 loss to Sydney.

Forward Clay Smith gathered 22 touches as he continues to push for senior selection, while forward Tom Boyd, whose calf complaint kept him sidelined last weekend, was a late withdrawal from the game.

The Bulldogs had the chance to draw the match courtesy of VFL-listed player Anthony Bruhn but his set shot after the siren hit the post, handing the Magpies the thrilling win.

Josh Kennedy is the best key forward in the game and, perhaps, West Coast’s most important player.

As he sunk into the Eagles dugout after appearing to seriously hurt his lower leg against GWS, West Coast’s premiership hopes seemed to begin sinking with him.

The Eagles would go on to lose to the Giants by eight points — and Kennedy’s injury was on the mind of his coach.

“I did see him out of the corner of my eye. He couldn’t walk, so I slipped into panic mode a little bit,” Adam Simpson said.

But it could have been a lot worse.

How long will Kennedy be out?

The Eagles say Kennedy — a two-time Coleman Medallist by the age of 29 — may only miss three weeks of action.

It is a great result for West Coast, although Simpson will need to navigate the club past Gold Coast and perhaps Geelong the Thursday after the bye.

“It is going to test our depth and our resilience and we are going to have to switch some magnets around the next few weeks,” he told ABC Radio Perth.

“But is exciting in one sense that we can actually see some different positions and different talent coming through.”

Who are the experienced replacements?

The inconsistent Jack Darling will need to shoulder much of the heavy lifting in Kennedy’s absence, but history shows he only has a modest return without Kennedy in the team.

External Link:

Brett Sprigg tweet: Jack Darling has played 18 games without Josh Kennedy for 38 goals. Last two occasions were in 2014, kicked one goal in each.

All-Australian defender Jeremy McGovern could be swung forward to help out.

“I wish it was an easy option, he has just been too good down back,” Simpson said.

“We’ve got some other options — Eric Mackenzie has been playing in the reserves as a forward, believe it or not.”

But Mackenzie, who was West Coast’s 2014 club champion playing as a key defender, has the lean return of just one goal from six games playing for East Perth.

What about the youngsters?

In addition to Mackenzie, Simpson flagged a trio of young players as others who could help fill the breach.

“Tom Barrass can swing forward and then you’ve got Fraser McInnes and Tom Lamb as well,” he said.

Barrass, 21, was dropped after the club’s embarrassing loss to the Bombers, but is a strong contested mark and was drafted as a forward.

Lamb, 20, is the most natural forward of the three, having kicked 15 goals from nine WAFL games this year.

“He [Lamb] is probably not a key position player though,” Simpson said.

“He is more of the third tall, and obviously with JK going out we need someone with a bit more height, but he can be developed in different ways — so we are looking at it.”

Life without Kennedy

Whatever route West Coast takes, the club can rest easy in the fact it has shown a capacity to win without Kennedy.

Since his first 22-game season in 2010, Kennedy has missed a total of 20 matches.

The Eagles have won 13 of those.

That should offer West Coast supporters hope the club can manoeuvre its clashes with the Suns and Cats with its premiership hopes intact.
