Fremantle coach Ross Lyon says his team cant rely on the emotion surrounding Matthew Pavlichs 350-game milestone to give them the winning edge against Sydney this weekend.Domain Stadium will be in a Pav frenzy on Sunday as the Dockers attempt to honour the club legend with a win.Pavlich will retire at the end of the AFL season, meaning fans only have a handful of games to farewell the 34-year-old.Dockers players will be desperate to put in a good effort on Pavlichs big day.But Lyon said it was unlikely the milestone would have a long-lasting effect on the game.I think theres some emotion and that initial burst of energy, but then the game finds its rhythm, Lyon said.Its unsustainable for 100 minutes, that burst of emotion.But I certainly give it (the milestone) the respect it deserves. We always talk about honouring it with really good effort.Lyon said Pavlichs farewell game - likely to be in the round 23 home clash with the Western Bulldogs - loomed as the bigger occasion.Pavlich is feeling fresh after being rested for last weeks loss to Gold Coast.And he could have a couple of old mates join him for next weeks western derby, with ruckman Aaron Sandilands and goalsneak Hayden Ballantyne closing in on returns.Sandilands hasnt played since suffering a punctured lung and broken ribs in the round-three derby loss to West Coast.But the 33-year-old is back in full training and rated a legitimate chance by Lyon to face the Eagles next week.Ballantyne fractured his cheekbone two weeks ago, and came close to being named against Sydney.Defender Michael Johnson (hamstring/knee) faces an uphill battle to play again this year.Lyon swung a surprise on the selection front this week when he axed emerging star Connor Blakely.Blakely has been a rare shining light for the Dockers this season, with the 20-year-old averaging 20 possessions a game in a breakout campaign.But Lyon said Blakely needed a stint in the WAFL to fix up his disposal efficiency.Hes turning it over more than we would like, Lyon said.Darcy Tucker went back (to the WAFL), Ed Langdon went back, so sometimes youve got to alleviate the pressure valve on them.Hes disappointed obviously, but hell bounce back and we should see him again before the end of the year.Lyon also axed Jon Griffin following a series of underwhelming displays from the ruckman.Zac Clarke will lead the tap duties against Sydney, who are light on in the ruck department following injuries to Kurt Tippett (hamstring) and Callum Sinclair (knee).

Pittsburgh Pirates Store . -- Al Jefferson found a groove just in time for the Charlotte Bobcats. FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- Ryan Fitzpatrick showed up at the New York Jets practice facility with just a few minutes to spare.The quarterback had just agreed to a one-year, $12 million deal Wednesday night, ending a contract stalemate that dragged on for months.Finally getting the OK from his agent, Fitzpatrick wanted to rejoin his teammates in time for their 7 p.m. team meeting with coach Todd Bowles to kick off training camp.One problem: His security code to the building no longer worked.So, he had to text wide receiver Brandon Marshall to borrow his code to get inside the building. Then, Fitzpatrick hurried into the auditorium to the surprise of some Jets players and coaches.I might have been 3 seconds late, which is a minute late, I guess, Fitzpatrick said after the Jets first camp practice Thursday, but I wasnt technically under contract, so I dont think they can fine me.Fitzpatrick quickly apologized to Bowles for his ever-so slightly tardy arrival.He said, `Im sorry Im late, Coach, Bowles said before smiling. I told him, `Thats a $12 million fine.Fitzpatrick officially signed his new contract about 10 minutes before practice began. Then, he headed out to the field and was greeted by the theme song to the 1970s sitcom Welcome Back, Kotter blaring through the speakers lining the sideline.Smiles and laughs. Fitz is back, and the Jets have their starting quarterback under center again.I always thought this day would come, Fitzpatrick said. I just had no idea it would take this long and then when it took so long, I wasnt sure how long it would exactly take. But Im glad we got it done for that first team meeting.It was just like old times when Fitzpatrick hit Marshall down the left sideline for a long touchdown pass that drew some loud cheers from a small group of fans. The quarterbacks bushy beard was nothing new, but his over-coiffed hairdo drew some razzing from his teammates.Full beard, mini `fro, wide receiver Eric Decker joked. It looked like he just got off the golf course.Added a smiling Marshall: He didnt look the best right now. Actually, I thought he looked pretty good out there today, but I dont know whats going on with the hair and beard. I thought we got past that last year.The Jets certainly wouldnt mind a repeat of Fitzpatricks statistical performance from last season, when he set the franchise record with 31 touchdown passes and helped lead New York within a victory of the playoffs.It appeared Fitzpaatrick would be a shoo-in to re-sign with the Jets, who made it clear that he would be the starter if and when he came back.ddddddddddddBut the team made an offer that included three years, but little in guarantees beyond the first year. He wasnt pleased about it and made that clear to the Jets, and the weeks turned into months with Fitzpatrick still unsigned.How could I look myself in the mirror every morning and say, `Yeah, Ill try to play good this year and then next year Ill just collect some checks and teach the young guys? Fitzpatrick said. Thats not who I am. Thats not in my nature. But Im doing OK financially, so it was just a risk I was willing to take.New York set a deadline of Wednesday night to get a deal done or it would move in another direction. So, the two sides worked throughout the day and finally ended the contract stare down.Fitzpatrick essentially bet on himself to have another good year, and could potentially become a free agent after the season.I mean, I have something to prove every year. I wasnt the first pick overall in the draft, said Fitzpatrick, a seventh-rounder by the Rams in 2005. Nothings ever really been handed to me, so I just go out and try to prove it every year.While Geno Smith has had a solid offseason, Bowles made it clear that there is no quarterback competition. Fitzpatrick will be the starter against Cincinnati in Week 1 unless something drastic happens.Its his job, Bowles said of Fitzpatrick. Based off what he did last year, hes earned it.Fitzpatrick stepped into the starting job last August when Smith was punched by a teammate and left with a broken jaw. The veteran quickly established himself as a leader on and off the field.Throughout the offseason, both Marshall and Decker proclaimed their desire to see Fitzpatrick return. That touched Fitzpatrick, who feels indebted to those teammates who supported him while his contract situation played out.I put a lot of pressure on myself, but the pressure that I feel is, I have guys like Brandon and Deck who stuck their necks out and they were in my corner all offseason, Fitzpatrick said.So, for me, Ive got to go out and perform for those guys. Ive got to go out and perform for all of those guys in that locker room.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: http://twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
