That could be the difference between a win or a loss to a last-placed Adelaide side desperate to turn around their lacklustre start. Last weekends shock capitulation to Central Coast was their fourth straight and coach Guillermo Amor is worried his defending champions remain without a win since Mays grand final.Key: Without Maclaren and given the Roars unenviable record on the road, this might just be a perfect storm for the Reds.Tip: AdelaideSATURDAY, November 12Central Coast Mariners v Wellington Phoenix at GIO Stadium, 5.35pmHead to head: Mariners 13, Phoenix 8, drawn 6Last clash: Round 17, 2015-16 - Mariners 3 bt Phoenix 1 at Christchurch StadiumTab Sportsbet: Mariners $2.30, Phoenix $2.85, draw $3.50Wellington finally picked up their first points against Newcastle, but just as Ernie Merricks men are hitting their straps the international window will again rip the guts out of the team. Five starting players, including skipper Andrew Durante and frontman Kosta Barbarouses wont be available to face a Mariners side undefeated in their past three meetings, with the Phoenix and brimming with confidence following their shock upset of Adelaide. Momentum is the aim for both sides.Key: Roy Krishna. The Phoenix forward scored both goals against the Jets and will be counted on heavily.Tip: Central CoastMelbourne Victory v Western Sydney Wanderers at Etihad Stadium, 7.50pmHead to head: Melbourne Victory 6, Western Sydney 4, drawn 2Last clash: Round 25, 2015-16 - Melbourne Victory 2 bt Western Sydney 0 at AAMI ParkTab Sportsbet: Melbourne Victory $2.10, Western Sydney $3.25, draw $3.50Having followed a 6-1 drubbing of Wellington with a controversial 2-1 loss to Sydney FC, Victory want to get back on the winners list ASAP. Captain Carl Valeri has declared himself fit to return for a full 90 minutes if required, while striker Besart Berisha will be anxious to find the back of goalkeeper Andrew Redmaynes net after botching a penalty against the Sky Blues. The Wanderers have won just one of their past seven games against Victory but were improved in their draw with Perth, and Argentine playmaker Nicolas Martinez is blossoming.Key: How Wanderers right-back Scott Neville fares against ferociously fast Victory winger Mitch Austin.Tip: DrawSUNDAY, November 13Sydney FC v Perth Glory at Allianz Stadium 5pmHead to head: Sydney 16, Glory 8, drawn 9Last clash: Round 27, 2015-16 - Sydney 4 bt Glory 0 at Allianz StadiumTab Sportsbet: Sydney $1.70, Glory $4.50, draw $3.75Melbourne Victory couldnt burst Sydneys bubble in last weekends Big Blue. Now Graham Arnolds runaway leaders have five successive A-League wins and nine in all competitions, with just one goal conceded. Glory need to find more routes to the net aside from set-pieces but will have their most potent weapon back in passionately vocal coach Kenny Lowe, who returns to the sidelines after serving his two-match ban. Perth hope to have captain Rostyn Griffiths (neck) back but striker Adam Taggart (calf) will miss yet another week.Key: Sydneys staunch defence will back themselves to contain Andy Keogh and company, although theyll need to be careful not to be hit on the counter.Tip: SydneyCheap Authentic Air Max 95 .J. -- Josh Cribbs was in the Pro Bowl in February and out of a job six months later.

Wholesale Air Max 200 .ca looks back at the stories and moments that made the year memorable. Fake Air Max 270 . It might not have mattered. While the Dodgers are preparing for the playoffs, the Padres showed their future has promise behind two rookies.Darcy Moores nomination as a Rising Star contender this week has again dragged into the spotlight the vexed question of the AFLs father-son rule.Moore, 20, the son of Magpie champion and dual Brownlow Medallist, Peter, was nominated for the award on the back of about 40 minutes play at the weekend, but his first half against West Coast was so gobsmackingly impressive that he got the judges nod.His emergence as one of the games most promising youngsters means Collingwood has again hit the jackpot with the father-son rule.Moore follows in a long line of black-and-white family success stories, which have included David Clokes three boys, including Travis, and Ray Shaws sons, Heath and Rhyce.In fact, the Pies have arguably done better out of the rule than every other club with the exception of Geelong, whove managed to land the rather impressive trio of Gary Ablett, Matthew Scarlett and Tom Hawkins, and Essendon, who count Dustin Fletcher, Jobe Watson and Joe Daniher among their famous father-son alumni.This rule was introduced more than 60 years ago to bring back some romance into football by ensuring the bloodlines of champion players -- the fan favourites -- remained at the same club. Dynasties would flourish as club legends begat new generations of boy wonders.For that reason, most fans, coaches and recruiting officers love the guideline.After all, which Essendon supporter doesnt want to see reincarnated versions of Ken Fletcher and Timmy Watson running around in the red and black? Which Tigers fan could face seeing Matthew Richardson in colours other than those worn by his dad, Bull?Likewise with Jack Silvagni, the son of fullback-of-the-century Steve, who was in turn the son of Sergio -- the bandy-legged Carlton legend of the 1960s. Lygon St would have revolted had young Jack ended up in a guernsey that was any other colour than navy blue.Others, however, are not so enamoured with it.For all the romance of the father-son rule, it remains an impediment to what many believe needs to become an imperative in the game -- a pure and uncompromised draft.(The current rules state that a player qualifies for the father-son rule, and can nominate which AFL clubs he joins, if his father played more than 100 games with that club. But clubs who choose to draft sons of guns have to pay a market rate for them by giving up draft picks.)Add to the mix the New South Wales and Queensland academies, designed in part to fast-track local talent, such as the highly-rated Isaac Heeney to the Sydney Swans in one instance, and there remains considerable disquiet that the pathway to League football remains compromised.On top of that, there is a huge element of luck associated with the rule.While Geelong, Essendon and Collingwood have benefitted enormously, other clubs -- including Hawthornn, oddly, and North Melbourne -- have diddly squat to show for it.dddddddddddd (Although perhaps we shouldnt feel too sorry for the Hawks given they traded Josh Kennedy to Sydney after 13 games and have watched him become one of the games elite in-and-under midfielders.)Three of the games greatest players - Leigh Matthews (2), Wayne Carey (2) and Tony Lockett (4) - have produced eight daughters between them but no sons. Which, of course, is absolutely no help at all to their respective teams, Hawthorn, North Melbourne and St Kilda/Sydney, under the father-son guidelines.While the leagues motives in introducing the rule were well meaning, by some quirk of fate it seems to have had the effect of favouring the strong and wealthy clubs (with the exception of Hawthorn) while doing little to help the small and impoverished.In fact, theres a strong argument to say the rule has sometimes meant the difference between some clubs winning premierships and being also-rans.Does anyone seriously imagine Geelong would have won its last three premierships without Matthew Scarlett, the premier fullback of his era, and Gary Ablett (for two of the three, anyway)? Would the Cats have prevailed over Collingwood in 2011 without Tom Hawkins who almost single-handedly carried them over the line following James Podsiadlys injury?And how pivotal were Cloke and Shaw -- highlighted by his game-turning goal square smother of Nick Riewoldt -- in the Pies grand final win in 2010?What will grate the other 16 clubs is that Collingwood and Geelong appear to have more talent ready to emerge from the father-son production line.Callum Brown and Josh Daicos, the sons of Magpie legends Gavin and Peter respectively, are nearing draft age and showing promising signs. The Pies do not have a first-round pick after last years Adam Treloar trade but must decide whether they want to take either or both of them in Novembers draft.The Cats, meanwhile, have four possible father-son recruits on their radar for the 2018 draft: Billy Brownless 16-year-old son, Oscar; Garry Hockings son Lochlan; David Menschs son Baxter and the son of ex-Geelong and North Melbourne wingman Robert Scott, Bailey.Moores Rising Star nomination this week has brought into sharp focus the vagaries of the father-son concept wh ich is threatening to have an impact on the competition far greater than its designers could ever have imagined.In a league where salary caps, player drafts and footy department expenditure are all monitored and tweaked by the AFL so the playing field remains as level as possible, the father-son rule remains the outlier -- the one variable that can turn pedestrian teams into world-beaters.
