At just 20 years of age, Western Bulldogs star Marcus Bontempelli has been installed by some bookmakers ahead of Lance Franklin and Luke Parker as favourite to take home the Norm Smith medal in Saturdays AFL grand final.Its a remarkable level of hype for such a young player and underscores the amount of responsibility on the gun midfielders shoulders as the Bulldogs look to win their first flag in 62 years.But if Bontempelli was feeling the pinch, he wasnt showing it at Fridays grand final parade.It hasnt really sort of changed too much for me, Bontempelli told AAP.Ive tried to keep my mindframe as simple and as normal as possible. Thats a credit to all the players, the coaches ... my family, my parents and my sisters to just keep it normal.Enjoy it, enjoy the moment is a lot of the advice weve been given, so Ill be doing my best just to do that and get to tomorrow when it comes.An All-Australian this season, Bontempellis versatility across the ground and freakish ability to step up in big moments and kick clutch goals makes him the Bulldogs most dangerous player heading into Saturdays game.He said he was pleased coach Luke Beveridge had opted against changing the side which beat Greater Western Sydney in last weeks preliminary final.Its great for us as players to know the teams not changing much, he said.Im sure if it had, youve got extreme confidence in the players that come in to play their role. We know that were going to get a contribution from 22 across the board and we never have weighted too much heavily on the individual. Rajon Rondo Jersey .

The Seattle pitcher won his ninth straight decision at Safeco Field, throwing 6 1-3 effective innings Sunday as the Mariners beat the Oakland Athletics 6-1. Saunders is 3-0 with an 0.94 ERA in four home starts this year, but is 0-4 with a 12.54 ERA on the road. "Its killing me," Saunders said. "I know I have it in me, its just a matter of doing it on the road. Hopefully we can turn the page a little bit and get a good start on the road." In 13 career appearances at Safeco, Saunders is 9-0 with a 1.72 ERA. "I dont think thats going to keep up. Its kind a fluky trend here early on," Seattle manager Eric Wedge said. "Hes smart, he has a good feel, his stuffs been really good. Ive been impressed with his stuff, so I dont think thats going to continue." Saunders (3-4) allowed one run and five hits, striking out six and walking three. Kendrys Morales gave Saunders an early cushion with a three-run homer in the first inning, and the Mariners kept adding more. Tommy Milone (3-5) lost his fifth straight start, giving up five runs, six hits and three walks in five innings. This was the first time during the skid he failed to pitch into the seventh inning, and he has a 3.62 ERA over that span. Milone walked two in the first -- more than he had allowed in all but one of his seven previous starts this season. "I was maybe trying to be a little too fine in the first inning," Milone said. "Just tried to paint the black and thats probably what caused me to get behind." Defending AL West champion Oakland has lost six of seven. The As start a series Monday at division-leading Texas. "You go through ups and downs, but this is not very fun now," said Oaklands Brandon Moss, who struck out four times. Morales hit his fourth home run of tthe season in the first, a drive into the Oakland bullpen in left field that followed Michael Saunders leadoff single and Kyle Seagers one-out walk.dddddddddddd "Kendrys came up with a huge hit and kind of got the ball rolling. Three runs in the first is kind of setting us up for a big game," Michael Saunders said. "We continued to keep adding runs throughout the game, and it was a great team game today." Josh Donaldson and Luke Montz hit consecutive doubles in the second, and the As had runners at the corners with no outs when Nate Freiman grounded to shortstop Brendan Ryan, who threw out Montz at the plate. Saunders retired the next two batters. "Not too many shortstops make that play," Wedge said. "His awareness out there is tremendous. It would be a tough double-play the way the ball was hit." Joe Saunders was as surprised as anyone when Ryan threw home. "He about took my head off," Saunders said. "It was a heads-up play, he made a great throw and great tag." Seattle stretched its lead on Jesus Monteros run-scoring single in the fourth and Seagers sacrifice fly in the fifth. Jason Bay added his fourth home run in the seventh inning, a drive to centre off Jerry Blevins. "Were playing good baseball right now," Michael Saunders said. "Were doing all the little things right, and its showing." NOTES: Oakland manager Bob Melvin said OF Coco Crisp, on the DL with a strained left hamstring, may run the bases Monday. If it goes well, a Wednesday return for Crisp is "not out of the question," Melvin said. ... Wedge batted Seager third and moved Morales and Michael Morse both down a spot in the lineup, to Nos. 4 and 5. Wedge said the moves were designed to take some pressure off Morales and Morse. "Ive seen them both chasing more than they should be chasing," Wedge said. ' ' '
