If Geelong AFL forward Daniel Menzel was even a little bit superstitious hed stay safely within the confines of his own home on Friday night.Instead, hell be at the MCG to play his first final since that fateful night in September of 2011, when he suffered what would be the first of four ruptured anterior cruciate ligaments that threatened his AFL career.The Cats qualifying final clash against old foes Hawthorn is packed with intriguing storylines but its hard to beat Menzels return to the big stage for feel-good factor.Ive had a lot of people message to say that its five years to the night against the same team at the same ground in the same final, which is uncanny, but to be honest it wont even cross my mind, Menzel said on Wednesday.Weve done so much work in the gym and on the training track and got through so many games now - I know the work you put in does pay off.I know that my body is strong and will hold up.Menzel missed all of the `12, `13 and `14 seasons and most of 2015 as he went through the mentally and physically draining rehabilitation from four major knee operations.The most painful part of it all was that he missed Geelongs 2011 grand final win, which is something he admitted took him a while to let go.Its one that throughout my rehab I struggled with at times after missing out ... I held onto that a fair bit, he said.It did drive and motivate me but after speaking with psychologists who helped me overcome the pain of not being part of that you dont really think about that (any more) because it might make you down or flat or negative.Menzel called a groin injury suffered in round 20 as a blessing in disguise that has allowed him to freshen up for the Cats finals campaign.Discount Air Jordan 5 Retro . He said Tuesday thats a big reason why he is now the new coach of the Tennessee Titans. Whisenhunt said he hit it off quickly with Ruston Webster when interviewing for the job Friday night.

Still, Pittsburgh knows its taut 3-2 win over the Bruins on Wednesday night is a pretty good place to start laying the groundwork. "They are a very good defensive team," Penguins forward Brandon Sutter said. http://www.cheapairjordan5retro.com/ . Robinson finished with 17 points, all but two in the second half, and Lawson had 14 after halftime and finished with a game-high 11 assists as the Nuggets handed Dallas its first home loss in eight games this season.

Black Air Jordan 5 Retro . -- Kyrie Irvings last-minute 3-pointer helped seal another victory for Cleveland -- and the Cavaliers longest winning streak since LeBron James left.WATFORD, England -- Jose Mourinhos Manchester United reign is quickly unravelling, with his new team condemned to a third successive loss by Watford on Sunday.Watfords 3-1 victory exposed the brittleness of Mourinhos expensively assembled team as it tasted success over the record 20-time English champions for the first time in 30 years.The United job was a chance for Mourinho to rehabilitate his career after being fired last year for a second time by Chelsea. But after a bright start to the campaign in August, Mourinhos United has lost to Manchester City, the Europa League opener at Feyenoord and now Watford within nine days.If you analyze our three defeats in the last week we were always the best team in the second half, Mourinho said. We lost again in our best moment.Although 18-year-old Marcus Rashford marked his first start of the season for Mourinho by canceling out Etienne Capoues opener, Watford surged back in front in the 83rd minute at Vicarage Road. Substitute Camilo Zuniga scored within a minute of coming off the bench and Troy Deeney netted a penalty in the fifth minute of stoppage time.Its only five games into the Premier League season but United is already six points behind leader Manchester City. While Uniteds neighbor has made a perfect start, Mourinho is discovering just how challenging it will be to restore the team to the Champions League by finishing in the top four.I feel that some individuals probably feel the pressure and responsibility too much, said Mourinho, who succeeded Louis van Gaal in May to become Uniteds third manager in the three years since Alex Fergusons retirement. But from a collective point of view, I only have good things to say about them.Uniteds abject state was clear early in the game. Only Odion Ighalos miss spared United from an early setback. David de Gea dropped a high catch as both the United goalkeeper and defender Chris Smalling went for the ball. Ighalo was presented with an open goal but rather than control the ball, he missed the target with De Gea watching in astonishment.The closest United came to the Watford goal before conceding was Zlatan Ibrahimovic hitting the sidenetting and Paul Pogba, the worlds most expensive player, hitting the crossbar with a diipping shot.dddddddddddd Captain Wayne Rooney, in a deeper midfield role, made little impact.A key intervention by Miguel Britos created Watfords goal. The Uruguay defenders challenge on Martial on the right flank, tripping the winger, was deemed permissible by referee Michael Oliver.Daryl Janmaat seized possession and cut the ball back to Capoue on the edge of the penalty area. Having scored just once in his previous 57 games, Capoue sidefooted in his fourth in five games to start the league campaign.But as the goal was scored in the 34th minute, Martial remained on the turf, awaiting treatment. The Frenchman couldnt continue, hobbling off with Ashley Young taking his place.Seven minutes earlier, Martial clashed heads with Janmaat as they went for a loose ball. Both players received treatment but they continued.The English Football Association states in its concussion guidelines that: Anyone exhibiting symptoms must immediately be removed from playing ... there must be no return to play on the day of any suspected concussion.Asked whether Martial was concussed, Mourinho responded: I dont know. I really dont know.Uniteds first shot on target only came in the 62nd minute and with it Rashford justified Mourinhos decision to entrust the academy graduate with a starting place.Rashfords header from Ibrahimovics cross came off Valon Behramis shoulder and the England forward got a second attempt to beat Heurelho Gomes and strike under the goalkeeper. It was Rashfords 10th goal for United since making his debut in February, a team high.Marcus was playing with freedom and we were in control, Mourinho said. The game was there to win and never to lose.But thats what happened, after Ibrahimovics header was kept out of the net by Gomes.Nordin Amrabat cut past United defender Luke Shaw and released Roberto Pereyra, who fed Zuniga with a cutback, allowing Capoues replacement to restore Watfords lead.And after Zuniga was fouled by Marouane Fellaini in the penalty area, Deeney completed Uniteds misery from the penalty spot. Watford is two points behind United in eighth place in the early standings. ' ' '
