http://www.brownsrookiestore.com/Browns-Shon-Coleman-Jersey/ .Aliir (knee), co-captain Jarrad McVeigh (calf) and young gun Callum Mills (hamstring) are all racing the clock as they seek to prove their fitness for Saturdays season decider against Western Bulldogs.The injured trio were among a handful of sore Swans to sit out Mondays hit-out at the SCG.Sydneys main session for the week is on Wednesday and if Aliir is unable to move well then he almost certainly wont be risked.McVeigh and Mills trained on Sunday and are very much in the mix for recalls.Aliir, who strained the medial ligament in his right knee in the Swans preliminary final win over Geelong, is considered less likely to play at the MCG.It could potentially mean Ted Richards, who announced in August this season would be his last and hasnt played at AFL level since round 17 , is granted a farewell match alongside brother Xavier.Its a scenario that wouldnt sit comfortably with many Swans, not even Teds brother Xavier.If that happens thats great for Ted but I would feel very sorry for Aliir because he 100 per cent deserves it, Xavier Richards told AAP.Ted Richards was chaired off the field after training on Monday but warned on Twitter not to read too much into it, saying a few teammates were going for the record for most chairing someone off.Swans coach John Longmire suggested the club would have a better idea of Aliir, McVeigh and Mills chances after Wednesdays session.We certainly expect Callum to do a fair bit, Aliir probably to do a little bit less, Longmire said.Jarrad were just waiting to see. Hell certainly do a bit but just how much were not quite sure yet.Veteran Heath Grundy backed Aliir to make a remarkable recovery and face the Bulldogs.I cant see why not, Grundy said of Aliir, who made his debut in round six and has played 13 games this year.Hes pretty switched on and hes really matured in the last 12 months. Hes got a lot more confident, hes fitter and stronger .. and playing some solid AFL footy.Longmire suggested it would be a combined call on all three, with the clubs coaches and medical staff to sit down with each player on Thursday.McVeigh, who has featured in 286 games for the Swans, wont be empowered to make his own decision.But Longmire added the 31-year-old would know his body a lot better than Mills and Aliir.Jarrad is an experienced player and understands what he can and cant play with, but we all make the call together, Longmire said.We sit down and work out what hes able to do and how comfortable he feels and make the decision together.We made the decision last week not to push Jarrad and Im pretty confident it was the right call.Selecting a grand-final side will always throw up some of the toughest conundrums of any coaching career.Longmire knows it well, having ruled out a heartbroken and hamstrung Ben McGlynn in 2012.Meanwhile, the 2012 premiership coach was full of praise for the Bulldogs epic win over Greater Western Sydney on Saturday.Their pressure around the ball is as good as Ive seen, Longmire said.

At a Manhattan federal court hearing, attorney Jordan Siev said his law office has gotten more evidence nearly every day to support its lawsuit accusing MLB and Selig of going on a "witch hunt" to ruin Rodriguezs reputation and career. He said the defendants went "way over the line. TAMPA, Fla. -- Jameis Winston lights up when he talks about his competitive nature.Theres no throw the emerging young quarterback feels he cant make, no drive he cant extend with his feet, and certainly no team the Tampa Bay Buccaneers arent capable of beating when hes on his game.Winston wants his teammates to believe, too.Its a mentality that youve got to have, and its an easy choice. ... Youve got to want to win, the No. 1 overall pick in last years NFL draft said.As a team, we have to make that choice together. Im not saying just because I want to win ... someone else wants to win. Im saying all of us have to be together and be on the same page because if we have the same common goal, the same focus, were going to win a lot of football games.The Bucs improved from two wins in 2014 to six a year ago, when Winston took every snap as a rookie and threw for 4,042 yards and 22 touchdowns. That wasnt enough to save coach Lovie Smiths job, but it was encouraging enough that ownership promoted Dirk Koetter from offensive coordinator to Smiths replacement in hopes it will help Winston continue to grow.Before you start winning games, youve got to stop losing them, said Koetter, whose first order of business was to hire one of his old bosses -- ex-Atlanta Falcons coach Mike Smith -- as defensive coordinator.The Bucs also signed pass rusher Robert Ayers Jr. and cornerback Brent Grimes in free agency before selecting cornerback Vernon Hargreaves III and defensive end Noah Spence to bolster a leaky defense that allowed opposing quarterbacks to complete opponents to complete 70 percent of their passes and throw for 31 TDs last season.Still, if the team is going to escape the NFC South basement and contend for its first playoff berth since 2007, Winston likely will have to set the tone -- both on and off the field.Koetter believes the 22-year-old quarterback is up to the challenge.Jameis every day asserts himself more and more as a leader, the coach said. He still has plenty of things he needs to work on as the quarterback, but I love what he is doing leadership wise. ... He is the motivator for our whole team. Heck, he motivates me.Some other things to know as the Bucs launch their bid to end a string of five consecutive last-place finishes:AIR WWINSTON: Winston joined Cam Newton and Andrew Luck as the only players in NFL history to throw for 4,000 yards as a rookie, helping the Bucs finish in the top five in total offense for the first time.

Teammates rave about the young QBs preparation and knowledge of Koetters system.I said many times, I think theres a little bit of a misnomer out there that theres not a lot on Jameis plate, or that it wasnt last year, Koetter said. If youre playing quarterback in the NFL, theres a lot on your plate.FIXING THE D: General manager Jason Licht spent his first two drafts upgrading a sputtering offense. He turned his attention to the defense this offseason, landing Ayers, Grimes and LB Daryl Smith in free agency before adding Hargreaves and Spence early in the draft. Improving an inconsistent pass rush has been a priority since the team last made the playoffs.SOMETHING TO PROVE: Despite topping 1,000 yards receiving each of his first two seasons, WR Mike Evans enters his third year feeling as if he has a lot to prove after leading the team in dropped passes and scoring only three touchdowns a year ago, down from 12 as a rookie in 2014.HANDING OFF: RB Doug Martin took some of the burden off Winston to carry the Bucs with 1,402 yards rushing, second in the NFL behind Adrian Peterson. He was rewarded with a five-year, $37.75 million contract. Backup Charles Sims was effective a year ago, too, finishing with 529 yards rushing and 561 yards receiving.PLAYOFF TIME: Four-time Pro Bowl DT Gerald McCoy is entering his seventh season and has yet to experience the postseason. He has a good feeling about this team.Great coach, great staff, we put in a lot of work this offseason, McCoy said. The maturity level of the team is much different than its been in the past. Even with us having a lot of young guys, we have a lot of maturity in those young guys and not really many egos. That goes a long way on a winning football team.---AP NFL website:
