New Geelong forward Aaron Black says his AFL trade wasnt about getting away from North Melbourne but rather about the opportunity the Cats presented.Black played all 25 games for the Roos, including their preliminary final loss to Sydney, in 2014 but managed just three in 2015 and none at all last year.The 25-year-old forward said it was obvious he could benefit from a fresh start elsewhere.Like any job, sometimes you kind of just get stuck and I just felt I needed a change of environment, Black said.A new set of eyes, something to spark me, and as soon as the trade went through I was over the moon.We actually didnt speak to Geelong until quite late, so it came as a bit of a surprise.North traded Black for pick No.92, a pick they are unlikely to use at the draft, in a deadline day trade with the Cats.Black couldnt break into the AFL after the Roos started this season on a nine-game winning streak and then suffered a serious ankle injury.He admitted it has been a battle to maintain self-belief at times in the past two years, but harbours no ill will toward the Kangaroos.You do wish that you could play AFL every week, but it doesnt pan out like that (for everyone), he said.It was frustrating but at the same time I wanted to better myself every time I went back to the VFL. There are parts of my game I really improved there.I did a lot of work on my contested marking last year ... I was pretty happy with how that went but I think Ive spent enough time there and Im ready to really have an impact at AFL level again.Grant Long Pistons Jersey .

Lochte had initially called it a robbery; Brazilian police said he and three other swimmers (Gunnar Bentz, Jack Conger and Jimmy Feigen) vandalized a bathroom at the station and were confronted by armed security guards.The incident -- and the swimmers ever-changing descriptions of it -- became a major storyline of the Rio Games.It shocked and angered Brazilians, who said it cast an unearned negative shadow on Rio and the Olympics at a time when the country was eager to prove it could host the Games safely. It dominated headlines, overshadowing the accomplishments of athletes who trained for years just to get there. And it was an embarrassmennt for the U.ddddddddddddS. Olympic team, which dominated the medal count.Last month, the USOC echoed Olympic officials in publicly expressing disappointment and pledging to further examine the matter.We apologize to our hosts in Rio and the people of Brazil for this distracting ordeal in the midst of what should rightly be a celebration of excellence, the USOC said.Lochte reportedly will miss the 2017 world championships as part of the suspension, which was first reported by TMZ Sports.?Since returning to the United States, he has lost all four of his endorsements. Three companies -- Speedo, Gentle Hair Removal and Airweave -- terminated their deals with the swimmer, while Ralph Lauren said it wouldnt renew its deal that ran through the 2016 Olympics.Lochte will appear on ABCs Dancing with the Stars this season.?Information from The Associated Press was used in this report.
