导出博客文章D-Day has arrived for prospective AFL players around the country with the
national draft to take place at Sydneys Hordern Pavillion on Friday
evening.Essendon are expected to take Sandringhams Andrew McGrath or North
Ballarats Hugh McCluggage with the top pick in one of the most even drafts in
recent memory.The Bombers have decided who they will select with the No.1 pick
of Fridays national draft but are keeping their choice a closely guarded
secret.Barring a late change of heart, it is likely McGrath or McCluggage - both
gun midfielders - will join John Worsfolds effort to propel this years wooden
spooner back up the ladder in 2017.McGrath announced himself as a potential No.1
pick in a stunning season where he captained TAC Cup side Sandringham and school
team Brighton Grammar to premierships and co-captained Vic Metro to a national
championship.Obviously that pick carries a bit of weight and expectation but its
a massive honour too, McGrath said.If the cards were to fall that way Id be
really humbled and privileged to accept that responsibility.Hopefully Id take it
with both hands and represent myself and my club in the best possible way.Both
players have toured Essendons facilities in recent weeks but say they are none
the wiser as to the Bombers intentions.Theyre keeping their lips shut pretty
tight, McCluggage said.I dont think anyone has much of an idea. Whatever
happens, happens.Ive been pretty nervous ... its been a pretty big build-up over
the last few weeks without school to keep your mind off things.So Im nervous but
really excited at the same time to get stuck into things.Unlike recent years
when the likes of Jacob Weitering, Paddy McCartin and Tom Boyd have announced
themselves as the best young player in the land a long way out from the draft,
the race to No.1 has been much closer for this draft class.Most other years No.1
has ben declared from about July, AFL national talent manager Kevin Sheahan
said.So its been very tight at the top and then settled down to two or three
most likely to go to Essendon.But clubs who dont have a first round pick need
not despair, according to Sheahan.We think up the front that the midfielders are
as good as any year but its down the back end that we reckon is special because
our game is growing, he said.Were really buoyant about whats down the back. Weve
seen the likes of Adam Goodes, Dane Swan, James Hird and Rory Sloane (go late)
in years past.There have been some wonderful players and we think there are a
bunch of players who could be taken down the back of this draft that will end up
champions of the game, such is the depth of talent.

Air Jordan 16 Retro Black Friday . -- The proud fathers huddled near the
Dallas Stars dressing room, smiling, laughing and telling stories while wearing
replica green sweaters of their sons team. Former St. Louis Blues captain David
Backes said he got goosebumps thinking about joining a team that already
includes centers Patrice Bergeron and David Krejci.These guys get it, the
free-agent forward said Friday after signing with the Boston Bruins in the first
30 minutes of NHL free agency. They know what its going to take to win. Thats
what sold me on it. ... If you have prominent players that are putting team
first, the rest of the guys really have no choice.A two-time U.S. Olympian,
Backes agreed to a five-year, $30 million deal with the Bruins and said he hoped
to help the Original Six club return to the playoffs for the first time in three
seasons. Listing off some of the players already on the roster, Backes said it
was more of a retooling than a rebuilding.Some guys would have looked at it
like, Youve already got Bergeron and Krejci, where will I play? David said, Boy,
I get to play with Bergeron and Krejci, Bruins general manager Don Sweeney said.
These guys are going to be the leading core to get us where we want to go. The
younger guys are going to have to get on board.Backes, 32, is the first major
addition this offseason for a team that won the 2011 Stanley Cup and returned to
the finals two years later. The team re-signed defenseman Torey Krug and bought
out the contract of defenseman Dennis Seidenberg on Thursday. Free agents Loui
Eriksson and Lee Stempniak agreed to deals with the Canucks and Carolina,
respectively.Also signing with Boston on the first day of free agency were
defensemen Tommy Cross and John-Michael Liles, goalie Anton Khudobin, and
forwards Rileyy Nash, Tyler Randell and Tim Schaller.ddddddddddddheyre trying to
get pieces back that will get them over the hump, Backes said. They barely
missed the playoffs last year, and if they had [made it] I dont think anyone
would have wanted to play them.Backes had 21 goals and 24 assists last season
for the Blues. In a 10-year NHL career -- all with St. Louis -- he has 206 goals
and 254 assists in 727 regular-season games.Backes, whos from Minneapolis, said
it was difficult for his family to leave St. Louis, the team that selected him
in the second round of the 2003 draft.It was tough in that its all Ive known, he
said in a conference call with reporters. It happens a lot in this business, it
hasnt happened to us. But change is good.Backes bid farewell to St. Louis in a
lengthy Twitter post:Blues general manager Doug Armstrong said talks with his
captain broke down over the length of the deal.I had no problem bringing David
Backes back, and I wish we could have, he said. I wasnt comfortable with the
term. It was problematic for me, personally, to [sign] out that far with
players. Theres analytical data [that] shows where players play at their peak,
and we wanted to try and stay within a window. We were ready to stretch that
window but only to a certain level.But Backes said he has a lot left.Im 32, not
52, he said. I think theres plenty of legs and energy left in me. I expect to
still be at the top of my game.The Associated Press contributed to this report.
