Sydney coach John Longmire is playing down the return of valuable ruckman Kurt Tippett for Saturdays AFL clash with North Melbourne but admits the timing of his long-term injury layoff has been perfect.Missing since the Swans round 12-loss to GWS on June 12, Tippett has recovered from hamstring surgery and is ready to play this weekend in Hobart.It was certainly relevant for him to have the operation when he did. Its allowed him to get back now rather than waiting until next year, Longmire said on Thursday.Hes missed a bit of football but, once he gets into the team, he will just be expected to play a role in the team like everyone else.Up against a Kangaroos outfit looking to cement a place in the top eight, the Swans will come under pressure on Saturday but Tippett has Longmires confidence.He will be expected to play like anyone else and contribute to the team so thats what our expectations are based upon his injury management, but also what hes been able to do (in training) over the past couple of weeks, the coach said.Obviously, we know that the game is going to be another step up but he just has to play a role. He doesnt have to come out - like all our players - and absolutely dominate. Its just about playing a role for the team that helps us be competitive.Tippett will be considered for a permanent spot in the Swans forward line to bolster the sides experience up front, although Longmire said the 29-year-old is fit enough to play in the ruck.He could possibly play as a permanent forward, the coach said.We know hes capable of playing in the ruck. Hes done enough ruck work at training over the last couple of weeks to be able to play in the ruck if required.In Tippetts absence, young ruckmen Sam Naismith and Toby Nankervis have proven themselves to Longmire.So too have youngsters in the forward line - Isaac Heeney, George Hewett and Tom Papley - who the coach has credited with aiding Sydneys recent scoring ability, including last rounds 70-point win over St Kilda.Its always a help if youre able to get your intensity and your pressure around the ball, particularly in the front third, Longmire said.If youre able to lock the ball in and put enormous pressure on the opposition in defence and get those repeat entries, its certainly an important part of the game.

Keke Rosberg is well known for not interfering in the racing affairs of his son. In any case, there is not much he can say when comparing his championship finale in 1982 with Nicos encounter this weekend. The only vague similarity would appear to be that both races were in a desert region: father in Nevada; son in Abu Dhabi. Otherwise, nothing stacks up.Keke had won just a single race during a bizarre season; Nico, so far, has claimed nine during a much longer and more predictable campaign. Even when it comes to similar strategic necessities, their respective tactical methods are diametrically opposed.Nico, despite having the points advantage, has eschewed a conservative approach and says he intends to treat this weekend like any other by going for the win. Keke only needed to finish fifth (or higher) back in the day when P5 was worth two points. And that was his sole intention - particularly after qualifying sixth.Caution was the watchword in the Williams pit (there was no garage as such, all of the teams being housed in a nearby convention centre). With the unimaginative track defined by concrete walls zigzagging through a car park at the back of Caesars Palace, it seemed sensible to accept that first lap skirmishes could result in damage (even allowing for no nose wings at all, never mind the aerodynamic sculptures hanging off the front of todays F1 cars).Pit stops were not part of the race strategy in 1982 but the Williams mechanics could be seen diligently practising changes of suspension parts, the theory being that they could pull in Rosberg if necessary, carry out repairs and still finish fifth. In such an event, a lap chart would be even more essential than usual.There was no computerised timing 34 years ago. Frank kept the Williams lap chart as he sat at the pit wall. With so much riding on the result in Las Vegas, however, the boss needed to supervise all aspects of the running of this race - which ruled out keeping an accurate lap chart.On race morning, I had wandered over to the Williams motorhome (a Winnebago; not the pre-fabricated edifices we see today) to have a brief chat with Keke who, in tee shirt and jeans, was chilling outside and enjoying a cigarette. Frank was anything but relaxed; a human dynamo restlessly moving around. Looking tense, he beckoned me inside the motorhome. Thinking I was about to be interrogated over something I had written, I was not prepared for wwhat came next.ddddddddddddDyou think youd be able to keep our lap chart? I mean, what do you say? I kept a lap chart at every race (it was the only means of recording the story). But to do it here, by the Williams pit wall, sun blazing down, the championship depending on it? You must be joking.And yet I heard myself saying Okay, Frank while thinking: What the **** are you doing! No pressure, then.Frank took out his pen and ticked Lap Chart: Maurice on a long list. I was glad he had asked on race morning. Had it been the day before, I wouldnt have slept a wink.The bonus, of course, was to be right at the heart of this race and championship. Journalists were not allowed in the Williams pit. And there I was, standing in the Holy of Holies alongside the boss, Patrick Head, Frank Dernie, Charlie Crichton-Stuart and chief mechanic, Alan Challis. But, rather than enjoy it, I had just one thought: Dont screw up!I was dreading the sight of that white Williams coming into the pits but relieved to see Keke finish the first lap in one piece. He was down in seventh place and out of the points. No matter; there were another 74 laps to go.Stayed calm, Rosberg bided his time, even when overtaken by John Watson, Kekes main championship rival. The McLaren driver needed to be at least second, with Rosberg out of the points. Wattie quickly moved ahead of Mario Andrettis Ferrari, everyone then shuffling forward one place when Riccardo Patrese retired his Brabham.Some time later, as Watson moved into third, Frank peered over my shoulder. The lap chart said Rosberg was fifth - which, fortunately, agreed with Franks assessment of progress. Now all Keke had to do was stay there; easier said than done, Rosberg a few laps earlier having narrowly missed Andretti when the Ferraris rear suspension failed.With two laps to go, Williams moved across the pit and quietly instructed his sponsorship coordinator (and mate) Crichton-Stuart to tell Alan [Challis] to get the flags ready. It was the first time all week that Frank was prepared to concede his man was about to win the title. Challis appeared with the Union Jack and Saudi flag (in deference to the teams main sponsor) and the perspiring but ecstatic team waved their man home. I duly marked car number 6 in fifth place on the chart.Job done.
