Newly minted Melbourne coach Simon Goodwin says the Demons are poised for success after clawing back the respect of their AFL rivals under predecessor Paul Roos.Goodwin on Wednesday was officially unveiled as the Demons new senior coach after a two-year apprenticeship as an assistant under Roos.The dual AFL premiership player and former Adelaide captain is contracted to serve in the top job for at least the next three years and believes it wont be long before Melbourne are playing finals football again after a decade outside the top eight.But with the Demons tanking saga still fresh in the memories of plenty of supporters, Goodwin knows there remains work to do to create a winning culture at the club.Talent wont be enough, Goodwin said.Weve got to unconditionally ingrain our winning behaviours in this football club. We are on a long journey and we have got a long way to go.When Goodwin arrived at Melbourne at the end of 2014 after working as an assistant at Essendon, the side had won just four games for the season.The Demons claimed 10 victories this year to finish 11th on the ladder, with onballer Jack Viney and ruckman Max Gawn enjoying breakout years and future stars Jesse Hogan, Christian Petracca and Dom Tyson continuing to improve.But the young sides inconsistency was clear in the final month of the season, with wins over Hawthorn and Port Adelaide followed by comprehensive losses to Carlton and Geelong.We knew at some stage in the season that our journey at the end of the year was going to get tough, just due to fatigue, Goodwin said.Theres no doubt, the last couple of weeks, we saw a significant drop-off but were not reading too much into it.Demons chief Peter Jackson said the strong relationship between Roos and Goodwin showed a coaching succession plan could work effectively, alluding to the tension created at Collingwood when Nathan Buckley took over from Mick Malthouse.Goodwin sought advice about taking over from John Longmire, who led Sydney to a premiership in 2012 replacing Roos as coach of the Swans.Describing his coaching style as built from the contest out, Goodwin said he had been inspired by the improvement West Coast coach Adam Simpson, Adelaides Don Pyke and Carltons Brendon Bolton had been able to generate at their respective teams.I think the immediate impact those guys have had is substantial for their footy clubs, Goodwin said.Whether its next year or whether its the years to come, well see a significant jump in this football club very shortly.The Demons will focus on recruiting players through the draft but Goodwin confirmed Bombers defender Michael Hibberd remained a priority trade target.Wholesale Rays Jerseys . -- Jaye Marie Green shot a 4-under 68 on Thursday to increase her lead to five strokes after the second round of the LPGA Tours qualifying tournament.

Yandy Diaz Rays Jersey .B. - Sebastien Auger made 44 saves as the Saint John Sea Dogs edged the visiting Acadie-Bathurst Titan 2-1 on Saturday in Quebec Major Junior Hockey League action.PORTLAND, Ore. -- Portland erased any lingering disappointment about last weekends loss to Seattle by soundly beating the Sounders this weekend.The Timbers scored four goals in the first half Sunday then held off their Cascadia rival 4-2, snapping the Sounders five-game unbeaten streak.After the Seattle game we all hurt, said Steven Taylor, who had his first goal for Portland in the victory. All week was tough.Vytautas Andriuskevicius, Fanendo Adi, Lucas Melano and Taylor all scored for the defending MLS Cup champion Timbers (9-10-8). They remained in sixth place in the Western Conference.Jordan Morris scored for the Sounders (9-13-4). They beat the Timbers 3-1 last Sunday in Seattle but then had a mid-week match at Houston that ended with a 1-all draw.Seattle forward Clint Dempsey missed the game because of medical tests for an irregular heartbeat. Dempsey also was unavailable for the U.S. national teams upcoming World Cup qualifying matches.I will accept the blame for the first half. Its my job to make sure the team is prepared, and obviously that didnt happen, Sounders coach Brian Schmetzer said.It was the third meeting this season between the Cascadia Cup rivals. Fans of the two teams, along with supporters of the Vancouver Whitecaps, created the Cascadia Cup in 2004 for the winner of the three-way contest based on points each season.Portland won the first meeting with Seattle last month 3-1 and now lead the season series 2-1.Andriuskevicius scored on a header off a corner kick for the Timbers in the 16th minute. Seattle goalkeeper Stefan Frei punched it up into the crossbar and it fell just inside the goal line.Just some four minutes later Adi scored to make it 2-0. Frei saved a shot by Diego Valeri but the ball landed in front of Adi, who fed it into the goal behind the fallen keeper. It was Adis 13th goal of the season.Melano scored off Diego Charas cross in the 29th minute, before Steven Taylors header off a free kick in the 43rd to give the Timbers a 4-0 lead going into the break.Seattle narrowed it when Andreas Ivanschitzs shot deflected off a Portland defender and past goalkeeper Jake Gleeson in the 47th minute. Morris scored some four minutes later with a hheader and the Sounders gained some momentum.dddddddddddd think it was the best performance of the year, Valeri said. We knew that theyd played on Wednesday against Houston, they traveled, so we took advantage of that, and we did it well, with a good performance. We scored four goals, and it could have been more goals, too. The Timbers visit first-place Dallas next Sunday, still looking for their first road win. The Sounders visit San Jose on Sept. 10.Seattle, in eighth place in the conference standings, could have been helped by Dempsey, who is tied for the team lead with eight goals.When you have one less attacker like that on the field, it always makes it a little bit tougher, Morris aid. We were gelling, I thought, with Clint in the lineup, so its tough. But, obviously, his health comes first and we hope Clints good with that.Seattle general manager Garth Lagerwey said Friday that Dempseys irregular heartbeat is something the team has been monitoring during the season and the club is now waiting on the recommendations of doctors on how to proceed.Clint has given a great service to this club and we owe him an equal measure of respect and support as we go through this medical evaluation, Lagerwey said.As a result, Dempsey was left off the U.S. national team roster for a pair of upcoming World Cup qualifying matches. The Americans visit St. Vincent and the Grenadines on Friday then hosts Trinidad and Tobago in Jacksonville, Florida, on Sept. 6.But the Sounders have a representative on the team in 21-year-old Morris, who was named to the roster after missing out on the Copa America team.Portland midfielder Darlington Nagbe also made the team announced by Jurgen Klinsmann. Nagbe has eight previous appearances with the national team.The United States is second to Trinidad and Tobago in Group C. The top two teams advance to the six-nation CONCACAF finals, from which three automatically make the field for the 2018 World Cup in Russia.If the U.S. wins on Friday and Trinidad beats Guatemala that day, the Americans will move on with one match left.
