Richmonds spirited display against Collingwood was just the tonic Damien Hardwick and his players needed after a tumultuous week but the coach wont use the 15-point win to paper over the cracks in the Tigers disappointing season.Serious questions were asked of Hardwick, his players and the board that reappointed him for another two years after thumpings by Hawthorn and Greater Western Sydney, and the sense of relief was plain to see in the rooms after the 14.8 (92) to 11.11 (77) win at the MCG on Friday night.The coach was mobbed by jubilant players following the club song but he was careful not to get swept away in the moment.Within club land we dont ride the emotional rollercoasters that external people do, Hardwick said.We realise weve been under-performing this year, absolutely, but our process doesnt change.We prepare the same way and this week was no different to last week, and itll be no different next week.Emotional rollercoasters we leave to external sources and we just worry about what we can control and thats trying to win as many football games as we can.And while one win doesnt wash away the pain of an underwhelming season, there was a lot to like about this one.Dustin Martin was prolific again, Alex Rance had a huge influence in the back half, Jack Riewoldt kicked four goals from limited opportunities and several young Tigers played important cameos.But the story didnt look like it would have a happy ending for Richmond after they conceded the first four goals of the game.How many were from free kicks do you reckon? Hardwick said.Maybe four, which was a bit disappointing.Despite Hardwicks displeasure at the umpiring early on, Collingwood smashed his side 13-3 in the clearances in the first quarter to lead by 14 points at the first break and another week of yellow-and-black headlines loomed.But they showed the sort of fight and spirit that has been lacking too often this season to eke out a six-point lead at halftime that became a 12-point advantage at the last break.Pies skipper Scott Pendlebury looked set to drag his side over line when he kicked the first goal of the last quarter but he limped out of the game soon after with an ankle injury that proved costly.A goal to James Aish put Collingwood back in front with under 10 minutes left, but Martin, who finished with a game-high 34 possessions, was important as the Tigers held their nerve to kick the last three goals to secure a much-needed win.Pies coach Nathan Buckley didnt hide his displeasure with the performance a week after a win over finals-bound West Coast.It was really disappointing, Buckley said.The first 10 minutes looked great ... then we proceeded to play the worst three quarters that weve played all year and we were still two points up with eight minutes to play.It was a disappointing night all around.Vapormax Flyknit 3 Hombre .

Westbrook has missed 27 games since having a procedure on Dec. 27 to deal with swelling in his injured right knee — the third operation on the knee in nine months.MELBOURNE, Australia -- Japanese ace Hideki Matsuyama has already left his imprint on the World Cup, much to the despair of the course superintendent of host golf club Kingston Heath.Matsuyama spent so long on the practice putting green in stifling heat on Monday that his footmarks burned the grass in three spots which then had to be temporarily cordoned off.While few early arrivals even ventured outside in the 35 degrees (95 F) heat, the world No.6 worked undistracted for five hours to perfect his putting technique to prepare for the fast greens that are one of the trademarks of the 7111-yard (6503-meter) par 72 course thats ranked second behind Royal Melbourne in this citys famed sandbelt golf region in the south-east suburbs.Matsuyama, who has won three of his past four starts, including the recent WGC-HSBC Champions in Shanghai, laughed off the marathon putting lesson, saying: Those footprints are there because I weigh a lot.Japan is the pre-event second favorite behind Australian pair Adam Scott and Marc Leishman, with Matsuyama joined by a fit-again Ryo Ishikawa for the teams competition of foursomes on Thursday and Saturday and four-balls on Friday and Sunday.Ishikawa, sidelined by a lower back injury for six months from February, said the invitation was motivation for his return that has already netted a win in Japan and top 10 finish in Malaysia.Hideki is definitely one of the hottest players right now. Im just coming in here trying to do my best and be able to compete with him because its definitely a great opportunity here this week, Ishikawa said.Hot is also an apt description for Swedens Alex Noren, who will partner 65th ranked David Lingmerth, after victories at the Scottish Open, European Masters, British Masters and, just two weeks ago, the Nedbank Challenge in South Africa.Norens world rankings trajectory, from as low as 654th aftter his first tournament of 2015 to checking in at No.dddddddddddd9 last week is an astonishing climb.Noren has the benefit of being an occasional visitor to nearby Huntingdale when it was home of the Australian Masters.While a Monday night storm and subsequent showers for two days have deadened the greens, Scott predicted that precision rather than power would be the key on the tight, tree-lined layout where the bunkers are cut into the side of the putting surfaces, with no fringes to stop a wayward approach shot.Irelands Shane Lowry said he and colleague Graeme McDowell had a game plan after the first practice round and have already changed it due to a different wind direction.The foursomes will be a tough test and youve got to try to make a score in the four-balls, Lowry said.McDowell believes the event is wide open despite the focus on the Americans Rickie Fowler, whose world ranking is 12, and Jimmy Walker (19), along with the Australian and Japanese pairings. Englands Chris Wood (37) and Andy Sullivan (40), Scotlands Russell Knox (18) and Duncan Stewart (315) and Spains Rafa Cabrera Bello (30) and Jon Rahm (125) all look capable of victory.McDowell was tied eighth when Scott won the 2012 Australian Masters at Kingston Heath. New Zealands Ryan Fox, tied fourth at last weeks Australian Open, was tied 14th in that same tournament. Others with Kingston Heath experience are Austrias Bernd Wiesberger, tied 14th when Tiger Woods won the 2009 Masters title and Germanys Alex Cejka, who shot 76 and 80 to miss the cut that year.Lower ranked teams with genuine chances include Belgium (Thomas Pieters and Nicolas Colsaerts), Thailand (Thongchai Jaidee and Kiradech Aphibarnrat) and Denmark (Soren Kjeldsen and Thorbjorn Olesen).
