The AFL is yet to make a call on whether the pre-finals bye will become a permanent part of the fixture or not.
[b]Buddy Howell Jersey[/b] .The league introduced an end-of-season bye this year, wanting to stop the trend of finals-bound clubs resting players en masse in the final round of the regular season.Feedback has mostly been negative, with a poll last month showing all 18 coaches were against the concept.Western Bulldogs coach Luke Beveridge has since publicly changed his tune, noting injured players Tom Liberatore, Easton Wood and Jack Macrae would benefit from the extra week off.AFL boss Gillon McLachlan admitted its been a divisive issue.Theres a fair bit of upside ... dealing with the integrity issue (of players being rested in the final round), McLachlan told Fox Footy, also listing the extra focus on a womens exhibition match and the EJ Whitten Legends game.The down side is the weekend without football ... a lack of momentum. We wont know (about that) until we play this weekend.I dont know (if it will continue). Well have a look at it in the back half of September and first week or so of October in the cold light of day.Luke Hodge felt the past week had been positive for the sport.But Hawthorn skipper Hodge was worried about two preliminary finalists being inadvertently punished.Whats going to happen in two weeks time? (Two sides will have played) one game in 28 days going into a prelim final, Hodge told the Seven Network.And arguably, in my experience, thats the hardest game to win. Youre disadvantaging the team that should be rewarded for playing the best footy and winning the most games over the year.

HOUSTON -- J.J. Hardy isnt sure why he always starts slow in April before his hitting picks up in May and June. He said he thinks it could have something to do with growing up in Arizona and not being accustomed to the cold Baltimore spring. Hardy got a season-high four hits and Adam Jones added an RBI double, leading Miguel Gonzalez and the Orioles to a 3-1 win over the Houston Astros on Thursday. Hardy hit just .202 in April, but has raised his average to .266 since then thanks in part to a recent five-game hitting streak where he has gone 11 for 19 with three homers, two doubles and five RBIs. "Im feeling a little bit better," he said. "You look at todays game, I hit three groundballs that happened to get hits. Its not something that you make a huge deal out of, but Ill take them." Manager Buck Showalter loves what Hardy brings to his team and raved about the way he goes about his work. "His style is his substance," Showalter said. "Hes just so steady, a steady human being. J.J, he likes to win. Hes at a stage in his career where he has individual accomplishments, hes established himself as a quality shortstop. He doesnt tolerate things that arent conducive to winning, especially from himself." Gonzalez (3-2) yielded five hits and a run in six innings, and matched his season-best with seven strikeouts. He slowed down the Astros a day after they hit six home runs in an 11-7 win. The Orioles won their third straight series by taking two of three from Houston. Brandon Barnes led off for Houston with a single, Jason Castro hit a one-out double and J.D. Martinez had a sacrifice fly that made it 1-0 in the first. That was the only inning the Astros got more than one hit. Gonzalez was glad he was able to get back on track after giving up a run in the opening frame. "It was a relief," he said. "You get there and you get your confidence back and just make good pitches after that." Barnes said Gonzalez made it difficult for them to get anything going. "He mixed things up real well today," he said. "He threw his pitches well in and out, up and down.

Baltimore scored just seven runs combined while he was pitching in those starts. "Its part of baseball," he said. "Sometimes youre going to have good luck and sometimes youre going to have bad luck. I had a good feeling with the baseball and changing speeds, so that helped me out a little bit." Gonzalez has a bruised left forearm after being hit by a single hit by J.D. Martinez in the sixth inning, but he said hell be OK. Darren ODay took over for Gonzalez and struck out two in 1 2-3 scoreless innings. Brian Matusz got the last out of the eighth before closer Jim Johnson pitched a scoreless ninth for his 20th save. Chris Davis singled to start the Baltimore fourth and scored on a double by Jones to tie it. Jones advanced to third on a groundout and scored on a single by Hardy for a 2-1 lead. A wild pitch by Bud Norris gave the Orioles another run in the inning. Norris (5-5) allowed nine hits while striking out seven in seven innings. Marwin Gonzalez hit a leadoff single in the Houston eighth and Barnes hit a deep fly. Jose Cisnero threw two scoreless innings with three strikeouts for Houston. NOTES: Baltimores Jason Hammel opposes Tampa Bays Chris Archer when the Orioles open a three-game series with the Rays on Friday. ... Houston will send Jordan Lyles to the mound against James Shields when the Astros begin a three-game series at Kansas City. ... The Orioles placed reliever Steve Johnson on the 15-day disabled list with a left oblique strain and recalled OF Xavier Avery from Triple-A Norfolk. ... Baltimore OF Nick Markakis is expected to rejoin the team on Friday after missing two games to attend his grandmothers funeral. ... Houston 2B Jose Altuve got a day off on Thursday while dealing with a sore groin. Manager Bo Porter said he expects him to return to the lineup on Friday.
