Whatever happens on the field, Moana Hope is already the AFL womens league player who taught Gillon McLachlan how to dab.Hope announced herself on Wednesday as the first cult figure of the inaugural league, which starts next February.She was among 16 players announced as the marquee signings for the eight clubs.Rather than shake the AFL chief executives hand when she walked on stage at the media conference in Melbourne, Hope and McLachlan greeted each other with a dab.It is a hip-hop move that has become popular as a celebration, particularly in the NFL and NBA.Asked about Hopes personality, McLachlan laughed and replied: You can tell straight away - the dabbing wasnt my idea. I didnt know what dabbing was.Hope would have stood out regardless, given her right arm is covered in tattoos.She grew up in Broadmeadows - Eddie McGuire territory - and naturally will play for Collingwood.McLachlan immediately nicknamed her Mo Swan after the much-inked Magpies Brownlow Medallist.Dane Swans a legend, so Im happy with that, and Im happy to dab any time, Hope said of the obvious comparison.Im just blessed - Im blessed with this opportunity and I cant wait to get started.She said McLachlan acquitted himself well in his dabbing debut.There was a lot of explaining and then there was a lot of practising, she said.He did pretty well for his first time. I think he held it too long, but I was impressed.And like Swan, there is much more to Hope than tattoos and an engaging personality.Mo is a super-talented forward. Shes winning the goalkicking by a long stretch in the VFL, said Melbourne star Daisy Pearce.I dont how many goalkicking awards shes won.Pearce famously said last month she would play for Melbourne or no one else and the midfielder is rapt that the womens marquee signings are now known.Ive been saying for a long time that my face and my story isnt the only story out there, she said.There are some wonderful stories among all those girls who were picked today.They are all really deserving selections.Victoria, which will have four teams in the womens league, and Western Australia lead the way in player development.So rather than concentrate too much talent in the Fremantle side, several top WA players will move interstate.Of the 16 players named on Wednesday, Fremantles pair and seven others are from WA.If they had all remained in the one team, it would have been a very dominant team, Pearce said.For equalisation and the competition, its not a bad thing that a few those girls are looking for opportunities elsewhere.THE AFL WOMENS LEAGUE 16 MARQUEE PLAYERS:ADELAIDEChelsea Randall (25, WA, forward)Kellie Gibson (20, WA, forward)BRISBANETayla Harris (19, Qld, ruck-forward)Sabrina Frederick-Traub (20, WA, ruck-forward)CARLTONBrianna Davey (21, WA, utility)Darcy Vescio (23, Vic, key forward)COLLINGWOODMoana Hope (28, Vic, key forward)Emma King (22, WA, ruck)FREMANTLEKara Donnellan (24, WA, midfielder)Kiara Bowers (24, WA, midfielder)GWSRenee Forth (29, WA, midfielder)Emma Swanson (21, WA, midfielder)MELBOURNEDaisy Pearce (28, Vic, midfielder)Mel Hickey (31, Vic, defender)WESTERN BULLDOGSKatie Brennan (23, Vic, forward)Ellie Blackburn (21, Vic, midfielder)Steve Yzerman Red Wings Jersey .

With the short-handed Warriors needing help from someone -- anyone -- to stop a three-game skid, ONeal returned from right knee and groin injuries that had sidelined him for four games and put up season highs with 18 points and eight rebounds. It was just enough to help lift Golden State to a 102-101 victory over the New Orleans Pelicans on Tuesday night.

Not so fast. The Indians needed every bit of their early advantage and survived a harrowing ninth inning for an 8-7 win and their fourth straight victory. "We kind of had to hang on for dear life, but we did," manager Terry Francona said. "We go home happy." Cleveland led 8-3 after five, but Minnesota scored four times in the final three innings. Vinnie Pestano, subbing as closer for the injured Chris Perez, allowed two runs in the ninth, including Chris Parmelees second homer of the game that cut the lead to one. Pestano struck out pinch-hitter Josh Willingham on a 3-2 pitch with the tying run on first for his third save. "We won the game," Pestano said. "Thats the bottom line. If I go out there and give up five runs and we win by one, we win by one." For most of the night, it didnt look like such dramatics would be necessary. Michael Bourn had three hits and three RBIs and Corey Kluber won his third consecutive start. Cleveland took advantage of five first-inning walks to score six runs. Jason Kipnis added three hits to pace the Indians, who are 8-2 since losing eight in a row. Minnesota starter P.J. Walters (2-3) walked five of the nine batters he faced, hit one and didnt get through the first inning when Cleveland had only two hits. Kipnis and Bourn both had two-run singles while Jason Giambi and Drew Stubbs drew bases-loaded walks. Kluber (6-4) gave up three runs in 5 2-3 innings. The right-hander has allowed four earned runs in 21 2-3 innings in his last three starts. "I wasnt as sharp as Id like to be, but there are games when you go out there and hopefully get through it and give your team a chance to win," he said. Kluber ended the Indians eight-game slide when he held Texas to one run in eight innings on June 11. He followed that with eight shutout innings against Washington on June 16. Kluber, who threw 100 pitches Saturday, gave up eight hits, struck out four and walked one. It appeared the game was under control when he was pulled but the Indians needed five relievers to finish the game. "There were some highs and lows," Francona said of his bullpens performance. "Fortunately, the highs won out." Minnesota scored in the seventh and Parmelee homered to lead off the eighth, making it an 8-5 game. The Twins had the tying run at the plate with one out but Rich Hill struck out Mauer and Ryan Doumit. Justin Morneau doubled to begin the ninth and scored on Oswaldo Arcias ground ball for the second out of the inning.dddddddddddd Pestano walked Brian Dozier before finally striking out Winninhgam on his 34th pitch of the inning. "That was a really long inning," Francona said. "Anytime you get up near 30 pitches, thats a long inning." Mauer hit a two-run homer in the first for Minnesota, which has homered in seven straight games. Arcia added a solo shot in the fourth. Walters problems began when he walked Bourn and hit Mike Aviles to start the first. Kipnis double into the left corner tied the score. After Michael Brantley flied out, Carlos Santana and Mark Reynolds walked to load the bases. Walters then walked Giambi, who was batting .180, to force in a run. Lonnie Chisenhall flied out but a walk to Stubbs made it 4-2 and ended Walters night. Bourn greeted Anthony Swarzak with single to centre and Cleveland led 6-2. Walters threw 46 pitches, only 18 of which were strikes in two-thirds of an inning. He failed to pitch into the sixth inning for the first time in six starts this season. "Walters just didnt have it tonight," Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said. "It was just a bad night. He couldnt find anything. Hopefully, we wont see that again from him." Stubbs and Bourn added RBI singles in the fifth off Ryan Pressly. Kipnis, who singled, doubled and tripled, is batting .379 (25-for-66) in 19 games in June. Trevor Plouffe added an RBI single for the Twins in the seventh. Minnesota came to town riding a three-game sweep of the Chicago White Sox but lost to the Indians 5-1 on Friday. The Twins are 13-7 against Cleveland since June 2, 2012. Indians first baseman Nick Swisher, who has missed six games with a sore left shoulder, will probably return for Sundays series finale or Monday when the Indians open a series in Baltimore. Swisher, who is in a 6-for-55 slump, took batting practice Saturday. NOTES: Perez (strained right rotator cuff) will throw a simulated game Sunday at Double-A Akron.
