Melbourne fans could catch a glimpse of the Demons forward line of the future on Saturday, with prized recruit Sam Weideman set to line up alongside young star Jesse Hogan.Weideman, the grandson of Collingwood great Murray Weideman, was the ninth overall pick at last years national draft, coach Paul Roos confirming on Thursday he would make his AFL debut against Hawthorn at the MCG.The Demons have high hopes the 195cm prospect will partner Hogan in attack for years to come, but of more immediate concern for Roos is the fitness of Hogan, who suffered a heavy knock to a knee after clattering into a point post in last weeks thrilling two-point win over Gold Coast.Hes progressing ... the plan will be to name him then jog him on (Friday) morning - the expectations are that hell play, but theres a little bit of water to go under the bridge yet, Roos said.I dont think well leave it until Saturday morning, hes still a young player.The next hurdle will be if he doesnt feel great in the warm-up but I suspect if he gets through (Fridays fitness test) he should be fine.With just four games left in his coaching tenure, Roos has the chance to rid the Demons of another unwanted hoodoo.Melbourne have broken lengthy losing streaks at Etihad Stadium and against Carlton, Collingwood and Geelong under Roos watch and will be looking to snap a 13-game losing run against the Hawks.Theyre still the benchmark team, theyre two games clear on top of the ladder, Roos said.I think theres excitement (amongst our players) on the back of last weeks win - it was really important to get our eighth win.So there is excitement but you hope it translates ... youve got to understand the quality of the opposition - that excitement can change pretty quickly if we dont get off to a good start.Erick Mejia Jersey . -- Hunter Smith scored the winner with just 12 seconds remaining in the third period as the Oshawa Generals edged the host Sarnia Sting 5-4 on Friday in Ontario Hockey League action.

Se Ri Pak -- who is retiring after this season and whose appearance in this weeks U.S. Womens Open at CordeValle likely will be the last time she competes in America -- did.You could say Pak is the Arnold Palmer of the Republic of Korea, but that might not be giving her enough credit.Before Pak arrived on the scene in 1998, both a complete player and a complete surprise, one South Korean, Ok-Hee Ku, had won one LPGA tournament, the Standard Register Turquoise Classic, a decade earlier.Ku, who died in 2013 at 56, was a pioneering figure in womens golf in her home country and instrumental in establishing a tour there. But her victory, coming only a few months before the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul, received little attention.That did not happen when Pak, only 20 years old and an LPGA rookie, won the McDonalds LPGA Championship and, in particular, the U.S. Womens Open, in 1998. Pak lifted the Open trophy at Blackwolf Run in Wisconsin after a 20-hole playoff with Jenny Chausiriporn.After Paks Open victory, womens golf became a very big deal in South Korea, where people tend to immerse themselves in their pursuits, working diligently to become as good as they can be. A generation of Korean girls, encouraged by their parents, was attracted to golf and many of them became very, very good at a sport for which Pak was instantly a beacon and barometer.Forty Korean-born players have won 149 of the 561 LPGA events held since Pak outlasted Chausiriporn, a contingent that includes In Gee Chun, who was 20 when she won last years U.S. Womens Open.Shes a hero to all the Korean players, Chun said. Her U.S. Open win was a motivating factor for all the Korean junior players and parents. Thanks to her win, all the Korean players have come so far. And the Korean golf industry has grown a lot.American Stacy Lewis, an 11-time LPGA winner and currently No. 8 in the Rolex Rankings, credits Paks influence with stabilizing the tours very existence when it was hurting for sponsors not long ago.Without the Korean and Asian TV rights, this tour four or five years ago might not be here anymore. We were at a point where we had 23 events and I think half of those were in Asia. So the Asia market basically supported us there for a couple of years and allowed us to get to where we are now. Se Ris a huge part of that.Pak triggered a globalization of womens golf in which Koreans played the lead. Five of the worlds top 10 players are Korean, 10 of the top 20. Since 2012, Koreans led by Inbee Park -- the Pak of her time -- have won 11 majors, more than twice as many as golfers from the U.S. (five). Koreans have captured the U.S. Womens Open seven of the past 11 years, and since Pak won at Blackwolf Run, 11 other Koreans have won at least one major.It all started with that long-ago Open playoff triumph, vivid in Paks mind. Thats the best moment I eveer, ever had, she said.dddddddddddd. Feels like yesterday, too. I have seen the video over and over. It makes me cry still.Paks impressive record -- 25 victories, including six major titles -- can make it seem as if it came easy for the 38-year-old, but nothing can be further from the truth. In a long, candid session with reporters at CordeValle on Wednesday, Pak articulated how consuming the sport has been and the hidden costs of achievement.People thought I was such a success at a very young age, making a lot of money, Pak said. I dont think Ive been a happy person ever. After winning [a tournament], that moment Im holding the trophy, Im so happy because thats just the way I want it. And then back at the hotel, I feel lonely.Heather Daly-Donofrio, the LPGAs chief operations officer, was a rookie player in 1998 with Pak and saw the sacrifice that went into the success.I was always amazed by Se Ri and other players who came from overseas, Daly-Donofrio said. They could leave their homes, come to the United States, travel , leave everything that they knew, not knowing the language, the culture or anybody else on tour.To Daly-Donofrio, Pak put not only South Korea, but lots of other countries as well, on the golf map.Not only did she inspire players from Korea, Daly-Donofrio said, but it had a trickle effect. Players from other countries, from Thailand or Japan or China, said if Se Ri could do it, they could, too.For Paks younger countrywomen, the appreciation is deep. She created this generation of Inbee and So Yeon Ryu and all those girls, Lewis said. Now youve got the even younger ones coming out that are inspired by Inbee. And Se Ris the one to thank for it all.

Following a lopsided 5-2 loss against the New Jersey Devils on Wednesday night, Paul MacLean told reporters that "theres a lack of focus, theres a lack of leadership and theres a lack of preparation" with his struggling team. That came on the heels of Bryan Murray taking the unusual step of going into the locker room at the Prudential Center and addressing the players himself. Josh Hader Jersey . This should be celebrated because it will not always be this way. With the amount of money given to players by their clubs these days, it is a wonder that so many of those teams allow the sport to continue to take away many of their assets so they can play for a different team in the middle of their season. https://www.cheapbrewers.com/1919y-ryan-braun-jersey-brewers.html .Y. -- Bills receiver Stevie Johnson has a bone to pick with the NFL schedule maker.

And all those girls realize it. Theyre always thanking Se Ri. They know it, and thats the coolest part about it.Just like Pak is grateful for what Ku did for her.Without her, I dont think Im here and all the Korean golfers arent going to be here, Pak said. Shes my hero.After retiring from competition, Pak hopes she can teach as well as inspire, to convince Korean tour professionals to find a balance in their lives that has been elusive for her. She plans to move from Orlando, Florida, back to her homeland to pass on lessons that she has learned.Im trying to share my life, Pak said, having [them] learn from all my career. Everybody works so hard. They put 110 percent into the game, every single day, every single hour. But you dont have to do it 24/7. I used to be that way. But the most important thing is you have to really enjoy it. When you enjoy it, youll have better success.If Paks message gets through, it might be her biggest victory. ' ' '
