Even by Patrick Dangerfields high standards this AFL season, his last outing against Sydney started in ridiculous fashion.Geelongs Dangerfield looms as one of the most imposing roadblocks standing between the Swans and a spot in the grand final.The former Adelaide midfielder has excelled in his first season with the Cats and is fully expected to win the Brownlow medal.Sydney coach John Longmire wont need reminding of the threat posed by Dangerfield ahead of Friday nights preliminary final.The Swans recorded an impressive 38-point away win over Geelong in round 16 but Dangerfield was at his dazzling best early.The superstar helped himself to 18 possessions in the first term.?Tom Mitchell was tasked with the onerous job of limiting Dangerfields influence after quarter-time and did a fine job, helping the Swans record one of their most impressive wins of the year.He (Dangerfield) racked up 18 touches in the first quarter and we had to lock him down, Swans midfielder Josh Kennedy recalled on Sunday.Im not sure whether well get on the front foot there.Well wait and see what Horse (Longmire) and the coaching staff want us to do with that.The game will pit two of the leagues best on-ball brigades against each other, with Dangerfield and Kennedy just a few of the star attractions. Kennedy is confident his side can match it with Geelong in the middle, admitting the duel within a duel will be crucial in deciding who advances to the grand final.Its going to be a big one, he said.If you watch any of the finals games so far, the team that has really brought that intensity and pressure around the footy has got up.As a midfield group ... we were beaten the previous week (in a loss to Greater Western Sydney) and it was good we were able to respond and get back to our best.It obviously stung a fair bit losing a final out at ANZ Stadium.But fortunately we had that second chance ... at our best we can match it with anyone.

By having more great seasons. Manning was the only unanimous choice for the 2013 Associated Press NFL All-Pro team Friday. TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- Since the start of preseason practices, Florida State coach Leonard Hamilton has been selling his teams depth as their biggest advantage. On Tuesday night, the Seminoles put that on full display.Six players scored in double figures as the Seminoles cruised to a 99-78 victory over Iona. It is the first time since the 2014-15 opener against Manhattan that they have had that many players in double figures.Overall I was pleased with the direction, Hamilton said. The biggest challenge for us is to utilize the quality of the depth. Were trying to explain that we have to understand that each night it is going to be different guys that are going to step up. Were a team that is going to win by committee.Freshman Jonathan Isaac led the way with 20 points as the 2-0 Seminoles shot 58 percent from the floor (34 of 59) and were 30 of 42 when not shooting 3-pointers. Phil Cofer had 13 points and six rebounds while Terrance Mann (12), Jarquez Smith (12), Trent Forrest (10) and Dwayne Bacon (10) also scored in double figures.They also had nine players who saw 15 minutes or more of playing time as Hamilton continues to look for the best floor combinations.We just wanted to lock in and show people why we should be in the tournament. You cant decide that off two games but you just have to keep playing the way we were playing tonight, Bacon said.The Gaels led for most of the first five minutes before the Seminoles went on a 14-2 run for a 24-13 lead with 10:36 remaining. They would lead by as many as 18 in the first half and had a 47-32 advantage at halftime.FSU led by as many as 26 points midway in the second half as it extended its win streak in nonconference home games to 12.UConn transfer Sam Cassell Jr., who is the son of former NBA and Florida State standout Sam Cassell Sr., led Iona (0-1) with 28 points. Jordan Washington addded 16 and Jon Severe 12.dddddddddddd.The Gaels, who scored 37.3 percent of their points on 3-pointers last season, were 9 of 31 from beyond the arc.They have a lot more size than we have and when Jordan got in foul trouble it hurts our team, Iona coach Tim Cluess said. They did a good job of reversing and driving the ball on us along with really challenging us at the rim and getting us into foul trouble.BIG PICTUREIona: The Gaels lost six players from last years team that made the NCAA Tournament. With two sophomores in the starting lineup, they could struggle early in the season as coach Tim Cluess tries to work in six newcomers into the rotation.Florida State: Coach Leonard Hamilton was eager to see how his team would do against a quality mid-major opponent. The Seminoles struggled early, especially in their transition game, but freshmen Isaac and Forrest looked more relaxed in their second game, combining for 30 points.STAT OF THE NIGHTFlorida State is usually a good team from the free-throw line but it started out by missing seven of its first 10. The Seminoles though would end the night by making 24 of their last 30.HE SAID ITIt felt good getting on the court and playing down here. Its my fathers team. I wanted to beat him so I could talk trash to him but it is what it is. Cassell Jr.UP NEXTIona: The Gaels travel out west for a game against Nevada on Sunday. Ionas first six games are on the road and it doesnt have its first home game until Dec. 4 against Niagara.Florida State: The Seminoles host Winthrop on Friday as part of the NIT Season Tip-Off.---More AP college basketball at http://collegebasketball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25---Follow Joe Reedy on Twitter at www.twitter.com/joereedy ' ' '
