Essendon will hand Jake Long, the son of club legend Michael, a debut against Gold Coast on Sunday.Long has been locked and loaded for his AFL debut, more than two years after joining the Bombers as a rookie.The lightly built 20-year-old has grown in stature over the past season in the VFL, progressing to the point where coach John Worsfold says the time is right for a senior debut.It feels amazing, Long told the Essendon website.Ive waited almost two seasons so Im ready to go out there and play.Longs elevation from the rookie list completes the Baby Bombers feel to their round 21 side, which will be captained by another 20-year-old.Against the Suns, Zach Merrett will lead the fallen AFL heavyweights in just his 57th match.Long is one of four changes for the Bombers, with Mathew Stokes, Orazio Fantasia and Jonathan Simpkin coming in.Skipper Brendon Goddard (groin), Courtenay Dempsey (hamstring), Aaron Francis (calf) and Darcy Parish (rested) miss out.The Suns have three changes, with Adam Saad, Aaron Hall and Keegan Brooksby coming in for Tom Nicholls (knee), Alex Sexton (quad) and Sean Lemmens who has been omitted.North Melbourne were forced into two changes on Friday, leaving out key forward Ben Brown (knee) and defender Scott Thompson (adductor) less than 24 hours after they were named in the Kangaroos side to face Hawthorn.The pair have failed to overcome injuries sustained in last weekends loss to Western Bulldogs, meaning Brad Scotts side must face the premiers without key figures at both ends of the ground.Geelong have rested Andrew Mackie for Harry Taylors 200th game, which comes against Richmond on Sunday afternoon.Daniel Menzel (groin), Nakia Cockatoo (knee), Jed Bews (omitted) also come out with next-gen Cats Jake Kolodjashnij, Lincoln McCarthy, Shane Kersten and Tom Ruggles coming in.Richmond have made two changes.Adam Marcon (omitted) and Ben Griffiths (groin) lose their place for Shane Edwards and Ben Lennon.Edwards is back after two weeks out with a calf injury while Lennon plays his first match since round four.Adelaide has also made two changes for their round-closing match with Fremantle.Paul Seedsmans corked buttock has forced his absence, with Cam Ellis-Yeoman dropped for the incoming Scott Thompson and Mitch McGovern.Connor Blakely comes into the Dockers 22 for Hayden Crozier (calf).Justin Pugh Youth Jersey .Y. -- Sabres forward Drew Stafford has witnessed plenty of turmoil during his eight seasons in Buffalo.

Byron Murphy Cardinals Jersey . 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. Kurt Warner Womens Jersey . The nimble-footed quarterback got his wish, dashing through the snow and a weary defence all the way into the NCAA record book.GREEN BAY, Wis. -- As he lay on the ground, Ty Montgomery caught several passes thrown by wide receivers coach Luke Getsy from in front of and behind the young Green Bay receiver Sunday.Even on what was supposed to be a day off for him from practice, Montgomery didnt feel compelled to just stand around as his teammates worked.Finally back on the field after missing most of his rookie season in 2015 because of an ankle injury, Montgomery is playing catch-up as he tries to win back a roster spot.Im excited to be a part of this competition right now, Montgomery said after practice Sunday.The belated debut of Montgomery in training camp last week added to whats already been a highly competitive preseason battle among a deep pool of candidates at receiver.And the return of Montgomery may have come at a good time since the Packers are without Jeff Janis for at least this week.Janis suffered a broken right hand in practice Wednesday and didnt play Green Bays first preseason game two days later. The third-year pro watched Sundays practice with a cast on the injured hand.The indefinite loss of Janis, who had a breakout game in the playoffs last season, comes as the Packers still are waiting on veteran standout Jordy Nelson (knee) to be activated from the physically unable to perform list.After Nelson and fellow starter Randall Cobb, the Packers have several candidates making their case for the few remaining receiver spots to be filled for the start of the season next month.Its very, very competitive, but thats what you want, Montgomery said. You know for a fact that the guys that do make the team are going to be really good guys, going to be some playmakers.Montgomery hopes to be making plays again for Green Bay after his extended layoff from football.Taken in the third round of the draft, Montgomery played only the first six games last season before he sustained what turned out to be a severe ankle injury in a win over the Chargers on Oct. 18.Montgomery had surgery on the ankle in December and spent the entire offseason as well as the first two weeks of training camp in recovery mode.dddddddddddd.Though he felt a little rusty, Montgomery cherished the chance to play again in the 17-11 win over the Browns on Friday after he started practicing earlier in the week.Most volume (of work) Ive had since I had the surgery, including last week, too, Montgomery said. But it felt good to get back out there. I was excited.He had only one catch against the Browns, but the reception for 7 yards still was significant since Montgomery last caught a pass in a game 10 months ago as Green Bays No. 3 receiver.Its good to see him back, and hes looking like hes pretty healthy, too, Getsy said.And, as he showed Sunday with his drill work on the side as Getsy threw passes from different angles to the prone receiver, Montgomery isnt resting in the fight to win a job.I was just grateful to be back out there, he said about playing Friday. Its the first time its been taken away from me for that long.Game notesBackup QB Brett Hundley practiced Sunday. The second-year player had been sidelined since suffering an ankle injury in practice Aug. 1. Cobb and linebackers Clay Matthews and Julius Peppers also practiced after not playing Friday. Cobb (calf) and Matthews (ankle) were injured last week. S Morgan Burnett (back) didnt practice Sunday. First-year offensive lineman Matt Rotheram (bicep) had his left arm in a sling after playing Friday. ... The Packers placed long snapper Jesse Schmitt (broken hand) on injured reserve and signed undrafted rookie center Kyle Steuck, a Green Bay native. Its sweet, its really cool, kind of surreal, a dream come true, said Steuck, who played at Division II Northern Michigan. He was helping coach the football team at his alma mater, West De Pere High School, before the Packers worked him out Saturday. ' ' '
