Essendon coach John Worsfold says he was left disappointed by the undisciplined acts that are set to result in suspensions to experienced duo Mark Jamar and David Zaharakis.Jamar was reported in Thursday nights 78-point loss to West Coast after striking Jeremy McGovern with a forearm to the face as the pair squared up off the ball.McGovern wasnt badly hurt by the hit, but the high nature of the contact and the fact it happened while the ball wasnt in play is set to cost Jamar.Zaharakis is also set to be scrutinised by the AFLs match review panel after punching Jackson Nelson in the guts.Nelson was heavily winded by the hit, and vomited as he was taken from the field.Worsfold has implored his players to play a hard but fair brand of football this season.He said the incidents involving Jamar and Zaharakis didnt fit into what values the team represented.I asked the players (Jamar and Zaharakis) if they felt better after those incidents, and giving a free kick away against their teammates, Worsfold said.And you can imagine the response I got. We got beaten in that area of discipline and mental toughness, and thats disappointing.Its a big learning curve and (it involves) more senior players, so thats disappointing.Jamar is set to spend several weeks on the sidelines anyway after injuring his hamstring in the third quarter.And Essendons ruck stocks are set to be further tested after Matthew Leuenberger struggled on with a knee injury against the Eagles.Worsfold says Leuenberger is unlikely to be fit to face St Kilda next week, leaving top-up player Sam Michael and Shaun McKernan as the likely players to fill the double ruck void.Essendon put up a good early fight against the Eagles, booting four of the first six goals of the match to take a three-point lead into quarter time.They trailed by just 19 points midway through the third term, before West Coast piled on nine goals in the final quarter to secure the 20.10 (130) to 7.10 (52) romp.

Cheap St. Louis Blues Jerseys . -- Aaron Murray threw for 408 yards and three touchdowns, ran for another score, and led No. Dan Hughes cued up the video of a recent San Antonio Stars game. In particular, one in-bounds play that resulted in a basket for Monique Currie.The thing he noticed first was the Jayne Appel-Marinelli screen that got Currie free to knock down the shot.Jayne does those things for us, Hughes said.Shes done them a lot for seven years -- and thats why her body hurts. Pretty much all the time.I feel like a Band-Aid, Appel-Marinelli said. Every game, I put it on so I can play, and at the end of the game, I rip it off.My job has been extremely physical. I set screens for Becky Hammon for five years and for Kayla McBride after that. And I have a lot of tough defensive matchups. I may not get all the rebounds. But I have to keep somebody like Nneka [Ogwumike] from getting them.During the Olympic break, Appel-Marinelli went home to New York, to new husband Chris Marinelli. They got married in April, dating since they were at Stanford, where Marinelli played for the Cardinal football team. She had time to think. And rest. And imagine what the rest of her life might look like.Appel-Marinelli returned to San Antonio, gave it a couple of games and went into Hughes office and told her coach that this will be her last WNBA season.It just feels right, and I feel good about it, Appel-Marinelli said. This is the end of a playing career, but I dont feel like Im done with basketball.Hughes said he knew it when she walked in the door.I was at her wedding. I knew she was entering a different stage of her life, Hughes said. The timing is right for her in a lot of ways.Appel-Marinelli, who will move back to New York, hopes to stay involved with the WNBA players association. She has been the Stars player rep for five years, the WNBPAs secretary/treasurer for three. She did an offseason internship two years ago at St. Francis College in Brooklyn in the athletic department and said she is interested in the business side of athletics.And Appel-Marinelli will continue her work as a mental health advocate, a cause close to her heart as she has a family member diagnosed with schizophrenia.Hughes said that Appel-Marinelli taught her teammates an important lesson.She showed that you can use basketball as a vehicle to step into a community aand make it better, Hughes said.ddddddddddddOn the floor, Appel-Marinellis pro career wasnt perhaps the highlight reel that many expected after a stellar career at Stanford, where she played in three Final Fours and two national championship games for Tara VanDerveer.VanDerveer regards Appel-Marinelli as one of the best post players shes ever coached, a pinpoint passer out of the paint with great hands and a team-first ethic.But Appel-Marinelli wasnt the same dominant post presence in the WNBA that she was in college. The player who put up 46 points against Iowa State in an Elite Eight game in 2009 never scored more than 17 points in a WNBA game in seven years.I never really knew what to expect from being a professional athlete, Appel-Marinelli said. I came into the draft with a broken foot and an injured ankle, and I missed my first training camp and felt like I spent my whole rookie year catching up.Appel-Marinelli played her entire WNBA career in San Antonio, starting 150 games (averaging 4.1 points and 6.1 rebounds) and settling into a role with the Stars that Hughes said was invaluable to the franchise. She is a strong rebounder, an imposing presence under the glass who has made the most of the things she does well.She came in here, battled through injuries and worked her way into a specific role, Hughes said. Jayne could rebound, she understands the game, she can pass the ball. She landed in a place that really appreciated what she could do. She was not going to get headlines for scoring. But she has always had the love of her team for all the little things she does to make them better.Appel-Marinelli said she will most miss her relationship with her teammates as she retires.Ive been lucky to get to go to work every day and play basketball with some of my best friends, she said. I have made lifelong friendships.But for the first time in her life, starting in a couple of weeks, she will have control of her own schedule.For the first time since high school, maybe even before that, Appel-Marinelli said. Its time to see what else is out there, what comes next after basketball. cheap falcons jerseys cheap ravens jerseys cheap bills jerseys cheap bears jerseys cheap bengals jerseys cheap cowboys jerseys cheap lions jerseys cheap texans jerseys cheap colts jerseys cheap jaguars jerseys cheap chiefs jerseys cheap rams jerseys cheap dolphins jerseys cheap vikings jerseys cheap saints jerseys cheap giants jerseys cheap jets jerseys cheap eagles jerseys cheap steelers jerseys cheap 49ers jerseys ' ' '
