He wont be jumping over rival players any time soon, but West Coast ruckman Nic Naitanui will be hoping to make at least a small impact during this years AFL finals series.Naitanui is set to spend up to a year on the sidelines after undergoing surgery to repair the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee late last month.The injury has robbed West Coast of its best player for the upcoming finals series, which kicks off with Thursday nights elimination final against the Western Bulldogs at Domain Stadium.Journeyman Jonathan Giles and Scott Lycett will be forced to carry the ruck load in Naitanuis absence.But Eagles coach Adam Simpson says Naitanui will do his best behind the scenes to ensure West Coast go deep into the finals.Naitanui returned to the club last week following his successful operation, and he was around the players again on Monday.Just to see him around the club has been great for the players morale, Simpson said.I think hell provide input, in particular the ruck situation thats confronting our players.Im sure hell help with our ruck duties with (ruck coach) Dean Cox this week.Simpson is optimistic Naitanui will be able to return at the tail end of next season, rather than miss the entire 2017 campaign.Eagles captain Shannon Hurn said he and his teammates were feeling for Naitanui.Its a little bit of bad luck, Hurn said.Last year we had Mitch Brown and Eric Mackenzie (suffer knee injuries) as wellIts disappointing. But theres plenty of blokes who miss out.And Nics been touching on it a fair bit - worse things happen in life. Weve got to move on and play that extra one or two per cent better.Vapormax Homme Soldes .

Vapormax Pas Cher . -- Jakob Silfverberg is making himself right at home with the Anaheim Ducks, scoring four goals in his first four games.Hong Kong 136 for 4 in 18 overs (Nizakat 43, Rath 32, de Lange 2-26) v Scotland 153 for 6 in 20 overs (Coetzer 53, MacLeod 28, Ehsan 2-28, Aizaz 2-37)Match called off due to bad lightScorecard and ball-by-ball details Bad light brought the first ODI between Scotland and Hong Kong at the Grange in Edinburgh to an excruciating end with Hong Kong needing 18 to win off 12 balls with six wickets in hand when the match was called off. Hong Kong had played 18 overs. If this were a T20, Duckworth-Lewis would have kicked in at this point to decide a winner. But this was an ODI, and both sides needed to have played a minimum of 20 overs for that to happen.With rain delaying the start by five-and-a-half hours, the match had first been reduced to 21 overs a side. Another spell of rain 4.2 overs into the Scotland innings, after Hong Kong had sent the home side in, caused a further reduction to 20 overs a side. This was effectively a T20 game, but not quite.Chasing 154, Hong Kong began briskly, thanks to a 26-ball 43 from Nizakat Khan. They slipped to 64 for 2 in the ninth over after Con de Lange, the left-arm spinner, dismissed both openers in quick succession. Babar Hayat and Anshuman Rath then put on 62 in 8.2 overs for the third wicket, leaving 28 needed off the last 22 balls. Both fell in the 17th over, bowled by Mark Watt, with the aggressive Rath run out. Ehsan Khan, on 2, and Tanwir Afzal, on 7, were at the crease when the umpires decided the light was insufficient for play to go on.It was the right decision to comme off the field but the decision should have been made six overs prior as it was significantly dark then, Hong Kong coach Simon Cook said.ddddddddddddAnd that was further away from a result when neither team could claim to be unhappy.The umpires asked our batters if they could see the ball and our guys said it was tough and then Scotland were told they couldnt bowl fast bowlers. So towards the end they could just bowl slow to have a shot at getting in to contention and once we hit a boundary and a few singles they brought the fast bowler on. The umpires handled the game brilliantly other than that but they held on for a decision too long with the light.Scotlands innings was given a firm foundation by Kyle Coetzer, who struck 53 off 30 balls, with six fours and two sixes, before he became the debutant Ehsans second victim. The offspinner had earlier struck with his first ball in ODIs when he dismissed the opener Craig Wallace at the start of the fourth over.Scotland, 96 for 1 after a 58-run second-wicket stand between Coetzer and Calum MacLeod, slumped to 102 for 5. De Langes unbeaten run-a-ball 26 stilled the tumble of wickets, but the collapse took all the momentum out of the Scotland innings. Having scored 99 in the first ten overs of their innings, they only managed to add 54 in the last ten.The two sides are scheduled to meet again for the second ODI in Edinburgh on Saturday. ' ' '
