Adelaide coach Don Pyke is plotting to stop two Lance Franklins.The first Franklin version is the Sydney star forward who roams far and wide. The other is the one who stays close to goal.Pyke isnt sure which style Franklin will bring when Adelaide meet the Swans in Saturday nights semi-final at the SCG.He has been playing a little bit further up the ground, Pyke said of Franklin.Whether they stay with him playing higher up the ground this week or they bring him back more inside 50, time will tell.We will probably prepare for both, knowing that hes one of their keys and hes one of their guys they target regularly going forward.Franklin will be shadowed by Adelaide defender Daniel Talia but Pyke was mindful of the challenges presented not only by Sydneys trumpcard but also by the tighter confines of the SCG.Pyke trained the Crows on Wednesday by marking out the dimensions of the SCG, where the Crows have played just once in four seasons, noting it was vital to control the centre corridor at the ground.Given its such a short ground, if you can get control of the ball in that area, it allows you to attack goal pretty directly, he said.So the ground itself has a component ... but fundamentally the way we play wont change.There will probably be some focus areas and some areas you just need to adapt to both the ground and the opposition - that is what happens week to week. Hernan Perez Jersey .Y. -- Buffalo Bills coach Doug Marrone has drawn on his Syracuse connections once again by hiring Rob Moore to take over as receivers coach. Gio Gonzalez Jersey .

Drew Pomeranz Jersey .B. - Sebastien Auger made 44 saves as the Saint John Sea Dogs edged the visiting Acadie-Bathurst Titan 2-1 on Saturday in Quebec Major Junior Hockey League action. Jimmy Bartels AFL preliminary final fate remains uncertain, with Geelong coach Chris Scott saying they are yet to settle on their team for Friday nights clash against Sydney.Teammate Harry Taylor praised Bartels ability to stand tall in the biggest of matches amid suggestions the veteran midfielder could be a shock omission for the match.While Scott confirmed on Monday night that defender Lachie Henderson is available, he added several other players out of the side had also benefited from Geelongs weekend off.Henderson missed the epic qualifying final win over Hawthorn because of knee surgery.Scott said Nakia Cockatoo, Jed Bews, Shane Kersten and Darcy Lang - who all missed the Hawks game - were better for not playing last weekend.We dont have an answer on our 22 right at the moment, but its positive that we do have options, Scott told AFL360.So the week off has helped in that respect.I know theres going to be some conjecture as to whether the extra week off is a good thing or not and even after the game, I dont think well know for sure.But one thing we do know is some of our guys who have had little, niggling injuries are better for it.Lachie will be available ... we still have a few things to work through.Assuming Henderson plays, Josh Cowan or Tom Ruggles will make way.But there is also speculation Bartel could be dropped.The veteran of 304 matches is likely to retire after this season.Overlooking the 32-year-old Bartel - whose long list of honours include the 2007 Brownlow Medal and the 2011 Norm Smith Medal as best afield in the Cats most recent premiership triumph - would be a huge call.ddddddddddddes a very, very handy player to have in the big games, Taylor said on Monday.He brings a lot of experience to our footy club on the training track and in games as well.His record in finals is very, very good.Taylor expects stoic backman Tom Lonergan to again get first crack at superstar Sydney forward Lance Franklin, who kicked four crucial goals in the semi-final victory over Adelaide.Thats more than likely but I can also play on him and (Henderson) can have a go as well, Taylor said.Weve got a few other different options but I dont think its going to take (only) one person to shut him down.Taylor warned of the danger of Geelong becoming too Buddy-centric, with Sydney having plenty of other dangerous forwards.Tom Papley matched Franklins four-goal haul against the Crows and Isaac Heeney was one of the best players on the ground.Ruck-forward Kurt Tippett is also likely to return from a broken jaw suffered in the opening week of the finals against Greater Western Sydney.We need to look at their forward line as a collective, particularly how they all work together, Taylor said.
