West Coast have ended a day of cat and mouse by opting against recalling star ruckman Nic Naitanui for Saturdays AFL clash with Collingwood at the MCG.Naitanui resumed full training last week and was considered a 50-50 chance to return against the Magpies.But the Eagles have decided to give Naitanui one more week on the training track to make sure hes fully recovered from the surgery he had on both feet.West Coast coach Adam Simpson is usually forthcoming about team selection.But, at lunchtime on Thursday, he refused to give anything away regarding Naitanuis chances of playing when he fronted the media.With the team announcement still four hours away, Simpson wanted Collingwood to sweat for a bit longer.Hes a player youve got to plan against, Simpson said.Its actually common sense (that) we dont announce our side too much earlier than everyone else.When pushed on the prospect of whether Naitanui would play, Simpson replied: Well move on from that question.Of course I can (understand the intrigue). I get them every day, those questions.Im all good with it. Its all fine. But youre not going to get anything out of me, so dont bother.West Coast recalled Dom Sheed for his first AFL match of the season, while Will Schofield, Mark Hutchings and Simon Tunbridge also return to the side.Jack Redden (shoulder) couldnt be considered, while Tom Barrass (rested), Jonathan Giles (omitted) and Jackson Nelson (omitted) drop out of the squad.Collingwood were dealt a triple injury blow, with Alex Fasolo (shoulder), Jarryd Blair (groin), and Ben Sinclair (concussion) all forced out.Rupert Wills was named for his debut, while Ben Crocker and Jordan De Goey also come into the side.Although West Coast have won all five games since Naitanui underwent surgery last month to relieve achilles tendon pain, their form has been scratchy.Simpson conceded they were lucky to escape with a six-point win against the Demons after losing the inside-50m count 66-37.The fifth-placed Eagles (12-5) are yet to rediscover the form that took them all the way to last years grand final.Simpson knows the clock is ticking, and hes desperate to fix up his teams problem areas.Its interesting. Were in winning form, but probably not good form, Simpson said.Weve won eight out of (past) 10 games, so were pretty happy with that.But clearly, we can play better. Weve acknowledged that.You would have thought were not going to progress too far if we continue to play the same standard were playing at the moment.Its not panic stations, but its real. Its what were going through. Discount Nike Air Max 97 .

Black Friday Nike Air Max 97 .C. -- Glenn Howard needed an extra end to move into the Masters Grand Slam of Curling final. TORONTO -- Sidney Crosby and the Canadians look as if they cant be stopped.Canada has won 14 straight games in best-on-best hockey tournaments since losing to the U.S. in the preliminary round of the Vancouver Games in 2010.Like the Americans in Olympic basketball, the Canadians simply seem as if theyre on another level against the rest of the world.Team Europe, though, hopes to spoil Canadas plans to celebrate a World Cup of Hockey title on home ice.The eight-nation European team and the one country that everyone else is trying to catch will face off Tuesday night in Game 1 of a best-of-three series.Europe advanced to the finals by beating Sweden 3-2 in overtime Sunday.It opened the event created by the NHL and NHL Players Association by stunning the U.S. and beating the Czech Republic before losing to Canada 4-1 in the preliminary round.Theyre a great story, and shame on us if we dont take them serious for what theyve done to this point, Canada general manager Doug Armstrong said.The surprise team of the tournament is made up of NHL players, many of them stars, who wouldnt have much of a shot to beat the best hockey teams in the world if they were playing for their individual countries: Slovakia, Switzerland, Slovenia, Germany, Austria, France, Norway and Denmark.Id like to begin by thanking the NHL and the NHLPA for creating Team Europe and for giving us this opportunity, said Team Europe coach Ralph Krueger, whose day job is being the chairman of an England-based soccer team in the Premier League. The second organization I need to thank is Southampton Football Club.The Canadians earned a spot in the finals by beating Russia 5-3 on Saturday night.Canada coach Mike Babcock, who leads the Toronto Maple Leafs, has seemed to make all the right moves during the team during its stretch of dominance in this decade.His job will be to make sure the faavored and host Canadians do not underestimate a team theyll be expected to beat if not rout.ddddddddddddou put all those countries together, theres lots of good players there, Babcock said. I like their backend, I like the goaltending. I think theyve done a real good job through the middle of the rink with their team. Theyve got a good-looking team. Thats why you play these games. All the experts can predict what they want, but you got to play the games and decide.Some critics thought it was a joke to put a team together with players from eight nations instead of picking two of them, perhaps Slovakia and Switzerland, to round out the eight-team tournament.No one seems to be saying that anymore.Canada appears to have a clear edge with its skaters, a slew of star forwards and defensemen, but the goaltenders seem to be evenly matched. Hockey is a sport in which one player -- if hes in net -- can neutralize a superior team.Slovakian and New York Islander goalie Jaroslav Halak has been as impressive as any player in the tournament, other than Crosby, who has a World Cup-high seven points.Canada will counter with Carey Price, who has overcome concerns about his right knee injury that kept him of the Montreal Canadiens lineup for much of last season. Price was the No. 1 goalie for the Canadians when they repeated as Olympic champions two years ago.I dont want to say rivalry, but both guys know whos at the other end, said Armstrong, the St. Louis Blues GM, who used to have Halak on his team. Were very comfortable with our goalie, and I know theyre very comfortable with their goalie, so it should be very interesting.---Follow Larry Lage at www.twitter.com/larrylage and follow his work at www.bigstory.ap.org/content/larry-lage ' ' '
