导出博客文章Having already borne the brunt of the best Sydney has to offer back in July,
there is no danger of Geelong underestimating the huge challenge posed by the
Swans in their upcoming AFL preliminary final.The Cats earned the bye last
weekend by virtue of their epic two-point victory over Hawthorn in the
qualifying final back on September 7 and will be a refreshed outfit when they
square off against Sydney at the MCG on Friday night.A highlight of the
encounter between the teams which filled the top two spots on the ladder at the
conclusion of the home and away season will be the clash of two of the leagues
deepest and toughest midfields.The Swans dominated that contest within a contest
back in round 16, when the likes of Luke Parker, Dan Hannebery, Kieren Jack and
Tom Mitchell held sway in the middle as Sydney handed Geelong a 38-point
thumping.It was only the Cats seventh loss in their past 72 games at Simonds
StadiumOur midfield is now gelling a bit more, weve got a bit more chemistry now
and the inclusion of Scotty Selwood and Sam Menegola has been fantastic for us,
Geelong utility Mark Blicavs said on Wednesday.Well go in really confident on
Friday night but we know the damage the Swans can do.They showed that against
Adelaide on Saturday night and they towelled us up down here.On the most recent
occasion Geelong played in a preliminary final, back in 2013, Blicavs was a
wide-eyed rookie still making the transition from steeplechaser to elite AFL
footballer.That match ended in a five-point defeat to arch-rivals Hawthorn, who
would go on to win the next three flags.I didnt really know the opportunity that
was in front of me, but I realise it a bit more now, said Blicavs.Back then I
was a 22-year-old who was just playing footy because I enjoyed it and didnt
understand how big a scale it was.Blicavs said the Cats would benefit from
having played only one match since trouncing Melbourne by 111 points back on
August 27 to close out the home and away season.I think it will keep us fresh
mentally and physically from the Hawthorn game, he said.That was probably the
most physically and mentally demanding game Ive been involved in.

. But when it comes to determining if Raymond will find a place on the Leafs
roster when training camp concludes in a week, well, that decision will
ultimately fall to the head coach.

Taylor Jersey . After taking two big hits this week -- losing at home and
dropping back-to-back games for the first time all season -- Indiana struck back
by playing its most complete game of the year. There were two types of daily
fantasy lineups last week: those that started Kyle Busch at Indianapolis, and
those that didnt. I think it was split about 50-50.Busch led 149 of the 170 laps
and was never really challenged for the win at Indy. In fact, for how dominant
he was, I was surprised that he had only 48 fastest laps run (out of a possible
128, since only green flag laps are counted).On one side for the weekend, Busch
was my best play both early in the week and post-qualifying. It was hard not to
like him; he paced final practice and qualified on the pole in a track where
passing is difficult, as was clearly evident if you watched the race.My other
top high-cost pick, Carl Edwards, was running in the top five all day until he
wrecked, setting a theme with my picks.In the mid-value, Kyle Larson finished in
the top five for 45 points, second best in this salary class. Ryan Blaney
wrecked. Ryan Newman, my honorable mention pick in that category, was in that
same wreck.But I hope you stuck with me in my low-cost picks. Ricky Stenhouse
Jr., Clint Bowyer and Casey Mears were among the top-five points earners among
drivers under $7,000.This week, NASCAR rolls back to Pocono, where they also
raced back in early June. Dont let the triangular-versus-rectangular shapes fool
you -- theres a lot in common with Pocono and Indianapolis. Both have long
straightaways, meaning lots of horsepower is necessary to produce high speeds.
Both have flat corners. In fact, one of Poconos three turns is actually modeled
after Indianapolis.So that will mean this is the third time in an eight-race,
two-month stretch that well race at this track type. So Im looking at high
performers from those two races to really carry over.It looks as if this weekend
will pick up with the recent Joe Gibbs Racing dominance. Although Kyle Busch is
coming off a kick-butt kind of weekend, you wont see him below (spoiler alert)
until he shows me in practice he has kicked some of his past Pocono issues. He
has finished ninth or worse in five straight Pocono starts for a 23rd-place
average finish.Here are my early picks, but check back affter Saturday
qualifying to get my final picks and fades for the week.ddddddddddddIm starting
my team withElsewhere in the Joe Gibbs Racing camp, Matt Kenseth?is coming off a
runner-up finish at Indianapolis and a seventh-place finish at Pocono earlier
this season in which he led 31 laps and had a race-high 22 fastest laps run.Over
the past two seasons at Pocono and Indianapolis, Kenseth has a 4.6 average
finish, and his 55.25 fantasy points per race leads all drivers. He has finished
in the top seven in each of those races, despite starting anywhere from third to
23rd.Keep an eye on these fourMartin Truex Jr.: The Clam Prince finished eighth
for 44.5 fantasy points at Indianapolis, but Im more interested in the 17
fastest laps he had, third best in the field and best among the drivers who
didnt start on the front row. It continues a great run on these tracks for
Truex, who won last year at Pocono and had 23 fastest laps in this race last
year.Kyle Larson: Larson had a top-five finish in last Sundays race, one of the
best-performing non-Gibbs cars. Larson now has eight career Sprint Cup starts at
Indianapolis and Pocono, and he has finished in the top 12 in all of them. That
gives him the third-best average points total, trailing only two drivers who
didnt run all eight of those races.Greg Biffle: Biffle finished 26th at Pocono
earlier this year, but he showed some speed with seven fastest laps run. In the
previous seven Pocono races, he finished 16th or better, including a fifth-place
finish in this race last year after starting 25th. Two years ago in this race,
he had the same start and finish, averaging 60.9 DraftKings points per
race.Ricky Stenhouse Jr.: Despite taking some damage at Indy, Stenhouse still
finished 12th. Earlier this season at Pocono, he finished 15th after starting
25th, good for 39 points. In his first three seasons in the Cup Series,
Stenhouse averaged less than 10 points per race on the long, flat tracks, but
hes averaging 37.5 this season.
