After years of watching the Melbourne derby with itchy feet, Ivan Franjic relishes the opportunity to play in the A-League classic.Since moving from Brisbane to join City two seasons ago the Melbourne born-and-raised defender hasnt endured a loss whens hes played in the fixture.Franjic made his derby debut in last years Christmas match, a 2-1 win that ended a run of three straight Victory derby wins.The Socceroos right-back was again among the action in Februarys 2-2 draw before a five-minute cameo appearance in last months 2-0 FFA Cup success.Now that hes back in Melbourne, Franjic said the new iteration of the Melbourne derby sat at the top of the Australian footballing tree.Its the biggest game of the year, he said.I used to watch it while I was up in Brisbane and I always wanted to play in it.The whole of Victoria watches, if not the whole of Australia.Theres always big crowds and sellouts. Its a game you want to play in as a footballer.Growing up, Melbourne Knights versus South Melbourne (in the NSL) was the big derby.Eleven years on, the A-League has been great and then Melbourne Heart now Melbourne City gave an extra bit of spice.Franjic missed a pair of early derby days while at City.A hamstring strain delayed his start to the 2015/16 season, and a nasty virus which affected his heart meant he was a spectator for this years opening derby - won comprehensively 4-1 by City.He doesnt want to miss another one.I probably get more nervous watching than I do playing, he said.Were City and we always want to beat Victory.Theyre sitting third, were sitting second. I dont think its been this close for a while ... this one is definitely big.Franjics setbacks have also contributed to keeping him outside national team coach Ange Postecoglous plans but the 29-year-old is hopeful that if he continues his good form shown this campaign, hell be rewarded by both club and country.Every week I feel stronger and stronger, he said.Itll hopefully be soon enough like the old days where I used to bomb on for fun.The physios and the medical staff have done a great job to get me back where Im at.The main thing is playing good, week in week out, then its up to Ange.Roger Staubach Womens Jersey . However, he did make them miss him a little less. Cundiff, who had the unenviable job of replacing Dawson last season, agreed Thursday to a one-year, $1. Tony Pollard Jersey . Toronto has dropped games to Indiana and Miami since a five-game winning streak and closed out a three-game road trip at 1-2. https://www.cowboyssportsgoods.com/Womens-Bob-Lilly-Inverted-Jersey/ . The scientists believe the small earthquake during a Marshawn Lynch touchdown was likely greater than Lynchs famous "beast quake" touchdown run three years ago, which also came against New Orleans during a playoff game. Emmitt Smith Cowboys Jersey . The injury bothered Bledsoe in the Suns victory over the Clippers on Monday and he sat out the teams home loss to Memphis on Thursday night. Tony Pollard Cowboys Jersey . After the whistle, Thornton skated the length of the ice, pulled Orpik to the ice from behind and punched him in the face several times.The dogged ability of Frank Mason to drive to the rim coupled with the streaky outside shooting touch possessed by Devonte Graham are what gets noticed most about the smaller guards in the Kansas backcourt.Yet each guard contributes in other ways, as evidenced by the 11 assists Graham distributed in the No. 4 Jayhawks last victory, a 95-57 rout of North Carolina-Asheville.I thought (Graham) was really good, Kansas coach Bill Self said. Frank scored the points (21), but I thought Devonte was certainly the facilitator.Graham did so while surrounded by new starters.Self altered his lineup to include freshman center Udoka Azubuike and sophomore guard Lagerald Vick. Each contributed mightily, combining for 32 points. Azubuike slammed seven dunks while going 8-for-9 from the field and Vick went 6-for-7 and grabbed nine rebounds.Expect the new lineup, which also features one of the nations top freshmen, 6-foot-8 guard Josh Jackson, to remain intact as Kansas (5-1) continues a five-game homestand Tuesday against Long Beach State (1-7) at Allen Fieldhouse in Lawrence, Kan.If Dok and Lagerald play like that, said Self, thats the best production weve gotten all year long from those two spots, so it could be permanent.That, of course, was meant as a motivational message, laced in truth, to the players they supplanted in the starting lineup, senior center Landen Lucas and sophomore forward Carlton Bragg.Count on Mason and Graham to be regulars, however, along with Jackson.Mason has topped the Jayhawks in scoring in five of six games and ranks second in the Big 12 Conference with a 21.5-point average while chipping in 5.0 assists and 4.3 rebounds. Graham averages 13 points and leads the Jayhawks in assists (34) and steals (10). Jackson averages 14.3 points, 5.0 assists and 4.3 rebounds.With those threee players as mainstays, Self has the depth to use different combinations best suited for the opponents Kansas faces.ddddddddddddConsidering Azubuike checks in as a 7-footer listed at 280 pounds, the Jayhawks have a frontline force who can impact the lane as long as he stays out of foul trouble.Well start based on scouting report a lot of times, and we havent ever done that, Self projected. But if a team plays small, well probably go small. If a team plays two bigs, we may go two bigs. But certainly it was nice to see Udoka have some success because, you know, he is a physical presence that we dont have and he can get so much better.Long Beach State, the preseason Big West favorite, will be making its eighth stop as part of a nine-game road swing. The brutal stretch has resulted in seven straight defeats -- at Wichita State, North Carolina, Louisville, UCLA, Washington, Binghamton and Florida Gulf Coast. The 49ers only win was at home in their opener against Cal State-Los Angeles.In its most recent game, Long Beach scored the first five points in overtime but lost to Florida Gulf Coast 68-67 on a layup with 2.4 seconds remaining.Although Dan Monson approved the grueling early-season run as a method to strengthen the 49ers resolve, and resume, the 10th-year coach expressed some regret.Im really concerned about them mentally because of all the years Ive done this, this has been the hardest stretch and this team was not ready for it, Monson told the Orange County Register.The schedule has also prompted Monson to look at various combinations. Ten players average 11-plus minutes.Junior forward Gabe Levin leads Long Beach State in scoring (13.0) and rebounding (7.6). ' ' '
