Co-captain Phil Davis is back, but coach Leon Cameron longs for more defensive continuity as Greater Western Sydney aim to stamp their authority on Collingwood.The third-placed Giants return from the bye on Saturday for the first of an eight-game home run towards an expected maiden AFL finals berth.To maintain their status as genuine flag contenders they must make a statement against the below-par Pies at their Spotless Stadium fortress.The Giants have claimed far bigger scalps at the venue this season in Hawthorn, Sydney and the Western Bulldogs.And despite being hot favourites to go 11-4 with their first win against the Pies, they must do so amid ongoing injury issues.Key backman Davis is a welcome return from a calf strain.However fellow defenders Matt Buntine (hamstring) and Nathan Wilson (groin), and midfielder Ryan Griffen (hamstring), are the latest faces sidelined in an injury-tested tested season thats seen Cameron field 34 players.It can be a positive because it exposes players to AFL footy throughout the year, Cameron said.But theres no doubt that down in our back end the continuity, youd like it a little bit better.Davis has been in and out, (but) its good hes got up for this weekends game.But having Matty Buntine and Nathan Wilson out it doesnt help that continuity.We think weve had a lot of unlucky injuries, hopefully that luck can turn in the back half of the year.Returning Adam Kennedy (shoulder) and Adam Tomlinson will come in as replacements to face Pies talls Darcy Moore, Jesse White and Travis Cloke along with returning forward Alex Fasolo.Collingwoods five changes aside, Cameron expected them to set up much the same as they did in last weekends morale-boosting win against Carlton.I expect theyd probably do similar stuff to what theyve done in the last two weeks because its worked for them, he said.Nathan Buckleys 11th-placed side are coming off back-to-back victories over the Blues and Fremantle.Lesser opposition they may be, but Cameron refused to downplay the challenge.Defensively theyre probably the best in the competition the last few weeks, he said.Michael Kidd-Gilchrist Hornets Jersey .

Cody Martin Hornets Jersey .C. United of Major League Soccer. United chose the defender in the second round of the 2013 MLS re-entry draft.Its official: Its great to be back in Australia catching up with some friends and family, after what was a pretty incredible couple of weeks in Brazil.Personally, I was pretty happy with how we performed in the 4x100m freestyle relay and proud of the bronze medal the boys and I brought home. It was always going to be a really tough event. Its the benchmark event for a lot of countries and it can really affect the way the whole team performs having that big event up front.So it was a big build-up, but I think we were probably on par with how we wanted to perform as a relay team. We went with the tactics of putting the strongest swimmers at the back of the relay and it panned out all right. It could have gone better but it definitely could have gone much worse. So it was probably right on par with expectations.Obviously there was very high expectations of the wider swim team, and potentially some of those werent met. Olympic gold medals are very hard to win; I can speak from first-hand experience about that.Its hard as an Australian swimmer peaking at that time of the year. The way our trials are set up in April, we have to be peaking then to make the tea, and then youve got maintain those high standards throughout a full Australian, winter which is a really tough thing to do. In summer, most of us train outdoors, were getting up early; but its all bearable because its nice weather and everyone is enjoying themselves.But then youve got to go through winter and thats often when things can fall apart a little, and I think that probably happened on a couple of occasions with swimmers on the team. And then theres the pressure that comes with an Olympic Games, and I think a few people probably struggled with that as well. And thats completely understandable. But I think a few more people will understand now how hard it is to win an Olympic gold medal, and you certainly cant underestimate thaat ever.ddddddddddddWeve got to look at our preparation and I think the time has come to follow the United States lead in staging the Olympic trials much closer to the Games themselves. Judging on the results from the past 20 years or so, the Americans swim fast at their trials and then back it up again at the Games; and then its only a month gap so the swimmers you pick are in form.Were picking swimmers in April and asking them to perform in August, and all sorts of things can happen in between times. I definitely think the American system is the one to follow because theyre the ones winning gold medals.One guy who had no trouble performing was Kyle Chalmers. His gold medal swim in the 100 was superb and I had a sneaky feeling he was a good chance after watching him swim in the relay. He was completely oblivious to the pressure and expectation, and was handling everything perfectly. I had a strong feeling that he could go on with it.I think Cam McEvoy was feeling the pinch a little and Ive experienced that myself a bit going in as the favourite; there was a lot of pressure and expectation on him. But Kyle was just in the perfect position and even the way the race panned out, everything worked perfectly in his favour. It was a brilliant swim.All in all, everyone got along really well -- there was a lot of camaraderie within the Australian team. I think the way that everyone backed each other and supported each other regardless if there were gold medals or fifth, sixth, seventh place finishes of whatever, it was a testament to the strength and unity of the team as a whole.We probably didnt havent the same expectations as a team in London that we did this time, but certainly there was a greater sense of cohesion and togetherness on the team this time around.
