Hawthorn and Geelong are one result away from conjuring the perfect tonic to the AFLs long wait - a meeting of the arch-rivals in week one of the finals.Cats coach Chris Scott is among many predicting a boring weekend off, with the start of the finals delayed by a week in a fixture experiment.But should the Hawks beat Collingwood this Sunday, it will set up a qualifying final that may prove worth the wait.Geelong did their bit to make the blockbuster meeting happen with a 111-point victory over Melbourne.Afterwards, Scott said hed prefer to be preparing for a final this weekend.In terms of the flow of the season and continuity - which I know is important to key people at the AFL - I think itll be a bit of a downer, he said.But lets hope the finals series more than makes up for it.If (the Hawks clash) does come to pass in a fortnights time I think it will be a big occasion and good for footy.Scott admitted the chance to finish in the top-two, made possible by Adelaides upset loss on Friday night, was driving his players against Melbourne.Their reward is an MCG final, which will be against Hawthorn if Alastair Clarksons side win and Greater Western Sydney if the Magpies upset the three-time premiers.Surprisingly, Scott said securing a home tie was never the priority.With the footy were playing wed be confident that we could travel and get the job done as well, he said.I hope that doesnt sound arrogant or like were getting ahead of ourselves.We didnt put a hell of a lot of time into thinking about where we were going to finish. It was more about playing our best footy.Should the Hawks claim a win, theyll run into their arch-nemesis Tom Hawkins in red hot form.The Geelong big man bagged 6.1 against the hapless Demons and Scott said his side felt the flow-on effects from his scoring streak.He was outstanding ... really strong in the contest too, he said.Its a good confidence booster for him but it does help the team as well when your big power forward is in dominant form.

ROME -- Edin Dzeko and Ciro Immobile are enjoying a Roman renaissance this season.On both sides of the Tiber River, the Roma and Lazio strikers are scoring at a rate that has already -- less than three months into Serie A -- eclipsed their output from last season.Dzeko leads the Italian league with 10 goals in 11 matches while Immobile is next on the scorers chart with nine goals.Last season, Dzeko produced only eight league goals in his dismal first year in Italy after transferring from Manchester City, while Immobile hit the target five times on loan with Torino.Its never easy in Italy, even for the best players. Serie A is a very tactical league and its not easy for people coming from abroad to get used to it, Roma midfielder Radja Nainggolan said after Dzeko completed his fourth two-goal match of the season in a 4-2 win at Austria Vienna in the Europa League on Thursday.He barely got going last year and people started to criticize him after two games without a goal, Nainggolan added. Hes always looked sharp in training and this year hes proving himself with lots of goals. ... Hes showing hes a top striker.Dzeko is on pace to beat the 16 goals he scored when he helped City win the English Premier League title in 2014. And he already has 12 goals in 16 matches in all competitions for Roma this season.Its been quite a turnaround for a player who Roma fans ridiculed as being cieco -- the Italian word for blind, which rhymes with Dzeko.When Roma signed Dzeko a year ago, the Bosnian appeared to be the perfect fit for a squad full of speedy wingers and playmakers but lacking a true center forward.At 1.93 meters (6-foot-4), Dzeko is finally putting his height to use against the smaller defenders of Serie A -- scoring on a header without even jumping against Napoli last month -- and clinically redirecting crosses from Mohamed Salah and Stephan El Shaarawy.ddddddddddddRoma coach Luciano Spalletti has been just as pleased with Dzekos efforts to help out on defense as with his goals.He feels like hes more a part of the squad now and that has enabled him to get back to being the great player that he is, Spalletti said.Meanwhile, Immobile is also back to his best after leading Serie A with 22 goals in 2014 for Torino.After that big-scoring season, Immobile transferred to Borussia Dortmund and lost his scoring touch. A loan spell at Sevilla didnt help but another loan back to Torino for the second half of last season reunited him with current Italy coach Gian Piero Ventura and reignited his desire.After a full transfer to Lazio in July for a reported fee of 8.5 million euros ($9.4 million) -- half of what Dortmund paid for him two years earlier -- Immobile has helped Lazio to an unexpected fourth place in Serie A and become one of Venturas top choices at forward for the national team.Lazio supporters have likened Immobiles exploits to those of Miroslav Klose, the recently retired Germany great who spent his final five seasons with the Roman club. Media have labeled the transformation at forward as a one-letter change from Miro to Ciro.Bruno Giordano, another former Lazio great, called Immobile Italys best current center forward.A couple of poor unfortunate seasons abroad made us forget his worth but Ciro is still really good. I think hell be the top scorer in the league, Giordano told the Gazzetta dello Sport.Dzeko and Immobile go head-to-head in the seasons first Rome derby on Dec. 4, while this weekend Roma hosts Bologna and Lazio visits Immobiles hometown club Napoli.---Andrew Dampf on Twitter: www.twitter.com/asdampf ' ' '
