Geelong skipper Joel Selwood says its time for the Cats to move past the hurt of their preliminary final thumping by Sydney.The Cats 2016 premiership aspirations were crushed by a dominant Swans side in the 37-point defeat that Selwood said hit the club hard.We all felt it - the players, the coaches and even the community - we thought we let each other down a little bit, Selwood told reporters on Monday.(But) its time to pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off and get to work.It hurt, it hurt everyone, so thats why were looking forward to getting back to work.Selwood and Patrick Dangerfield could barely have done any more for their side against Sydney with 39 possessions apiece.The Cats support cast for their dynamic midfield duo was largely disappointing, but Selwood denied the performance had exposed significant weaknesses in the clubs playing stocks.(Dangerfield and I) can do more and they can more ... thats a part of the consistency that weve got to put together, he said.We didnt play well on the night ... its not so much a reality check.It just showed that if youre not on in AFL footy, no matter who you play, that anyone can take it up to anyone.Geelong were among the busiest clubs during trade period, shipping out Josh Caddy, Shane Kersten, Nathan Vardy and Billie Smedts and bringing in Zach Tuohy and Aaron Black.They also lost Corey Enright and Jimmy Bartel to retirement, with Mitch Clark among the clubs delistings.Selwood denied the high turnover had hurt their premiership chances in 2017, but admitted it was difficult to see Bartel and Enright depart.Its probably emotionally a bit harder for me than some of the other boys because its all Ive ever known ... to have those great players around, he said.Theyll be missed.Selwood endured a difficult pre-season campaign last year as he struggled with plantar fasciitis, but he didnt need post-season surgery and reported for this pre-season program 100 per cent fit.Nike Shoes Nz Cheap .

Nike Shoes Nz Free Shipping .Y. -- Sabres forward Drew Stafford has witnessed plenty of turmoil during his eight seasons in Buffalo.CHICAGO -- Thousands in attendance at the Chicago Theatre cheered as Cloud9, the only North American team to make it to the quarterfinals of the 2016 League of Legends World Championship, walked onstage Thursday night to compete for a spot in the semifinals at New Yorks Madison Square Garden next week. But as the crowd erupted for even the slightest Cloud9 advantage, their campaign was on the brink of coming to an end. The crowd went silent as Cloud9 fell convincingly to Samsung Galaxy in three straight games.Following the loss, Cloud9 waved good-bye to fans and headed out of the arena as a somber mood loomed over the room. North American fans may have been sad, but support Andy Smoothie Ta says his team took the loss well, despite the crushing games.Samsung is a really good team, so were not taking it that badly, but we definitely played really bad as a team; our teamwork just wasnt up to par, Smoothie says. Korean teams punish that a lot more than other teams do.Smoothie says after qualifying for the quarterfinals on Sunday in San Francisco, the team had very little time to practice.I think I gave it our best shot to fix our problems, he says. Our practice was really efficient these past two days, but we only had two days of practice or actually even prepare for these games; we didnt have a lot of time.Cloud9, for their part, looked lost against Samsung Galaxy in their games Thursday night. Despite having a decent early game, the team got obliterated in the late game, with Samsung Galaxy slowly bleeding them out in the second two matchups. Its something that Smoothie said he wishes he and his team couldve addressed beforehand.We tried to fix as much as we could. We kind of knew our problems, he says. We just fixed the outer layer and never really got to the deep stuff. I dont think we couldve fixed much more than that.Coming to Chicago, Cloud9 was North Americas last hope, as their peers, Counter Logic Gaming and Team SoloMid were eliminated during the group stage. For many, this would put pressure on their team, but Smoothie says it felt good coming into the late half of the week. His only regret is his team should have practiced harder during Worlds in order to make a deeper run.Being NAs last hope, it feels pretty good at first, he says. When Worlds started, I think we just didnt take practice as serious as we shouldve; we played a lot of other games [that werent League]. Im not saying other games affected us too much, cause we played them outside of scrimmages and during queue times and stuff. Its not that bad. But I think we couldve been more focused and just commit everything to Worlds. To some extent, we did that, but I personally think we could do more and just get as good as we could while I was there.Prior to joining Cloud9 and making it to Worlds, Smoothie started his 2016 with a rough patch on Team Liquid. Formerly of Team Dragon Knights, which suffered in the summer of 2015 from visa issues that eventually relegated the team out of the League Championship Series (LCS), Smoothie joinedd Team Liquid as its original starting support.dddddddddddd But his time on the starting roster came to an end after one week, and he moved to its Challenger lineup.Ive had phases in my career, where I thought I was the best in my role, Smoothie says. I thought I was the worst in my role towards the end of [my time on] Team Liquid. Now Im up there again. I was just really complacent, even on Team Liquid, I thought I was mechanically gifted and everything would fall into place because I could make plays all around the map. That wasnt really the case though because macro play was a really big factor, and I didnt know a single bit of macro play at all.Team Liquid Academy was unable to qualify for the LCS, and Smoothie left shortly after. Despite the ups and downs, Smoothie says that while working with Team Liquid, he learned a lot thanks to their coach Choi Locodoco Yoon-sub, who taught him wider basics of the team.After leaving Liquid, he traveled to South Korea, where he trialed and boot camped with Cloud9 and joined their roster to split starting time with fellow support Michael Bunny FuFuu Kurylo.Fitting in with these guys was really, really easy; theyre really all very welcoming, and theyre really funny, so its not very hard to get along with them, he says. Theyre just a bunch of memers -- thats the reputation of Cloud9 -- its really easy. If you can just all laugh and just have fun, youre gonna have a good time on the team. From the start, it was really easy to transition into the team.During this week, following the loss of Team SoloMid and comments made by their head coach, Weldon Green, on South Korean boot camps, some North American fans stated on social media that boot camping in South Korea was not worthwhile. As someone who experienced it, Smoothie says he cant take those comments seriously.I definitely think [boot camping in South Korea] was worthwhile; I thought that whole [outrage] was pretty troll, he says. The amount I learned in Korea was insane, I pretty much learned how to play ranged supports in Korea, completely from the start. It was really hard because Im not gonna say the only hard bot lanes are Immortals and Team SoloMid, but even those guys dont punish mistakes as much as hard as Korean teams do ... I dont know, I think its pretty troll to say that going to Korea was a bad thing.And as Cloud9 has been eliminated, the North American League of Legends scene will enter its winter offseason and two-and-a-half months of roster changes, when much of the regions talent will move to new teams.The future for me is that Im just going to keep playing as my body allows me to, until whenever I decide I want to stop playing, Smoothie says. I like being on Cloud9 a lot. I think being on this team is a really good experience for me, and Ill just keep improving and eventually become as the best support in North America. Im not there yet, but maybe get there soon. ' ' '
