Adelaide must find a way to bring their fast-paced running game in order to succeed in the AFL finals, star midfielder Rory Sloane says.West Coasts ability to stifle the Crows run and spread played a key role in their 29-point victory at Adelaide Oval on Friday.The Eagles comfortably won the midfield battle and were able to slow down the Crows, forcing them to kick long to a contest which allowed West Coasts defenders to rack up intercept marks.Sloane was forced to watch from the coaching box after being slapped with a one-week suspension for accidentally striking Ports Brad Ebert.While it was frustrating to see the game unfold from above, Sloane says his vantage point made it easy to see where the Crows were going wrongIt wasnt so much the contested ball, it was more the stuff from stoppages and their spread away from them that got us, Sloane told AAP.As we know, finals means contested footy, so were certainly going to have to make sure thats right at the top of our game.But its also our spread. Weve really got to take the game on as well, that certainly has to be at a high level because thats when weve played our best footy.Sloane says hes raring to return for the Crows home elimination final against North Melbourne on Saturday September 10.Defender Brodie Smith is likely to face the Kangaroos after being sidelined with concussion, while winger Paul Seedsman (corked buttock) is also a chance to return.Smith looms as a key cog in the Crows running game, providing more rebounds out of the backline and more inside-50s than any of his teammates this year.North Melbournes lacklustre record in the second half of the season - winning just two of their last 11 games - suggests the Crows will start short-priced favourites to win.But Sloane says he rates the Kangaroos big-bodied midfielders and wont be underestimating their potential to turn the contest.Theyve got some of the strongest inside mids in the comp ... they love hunting the contested ball, he said.Thats what finals is, and if they get first use to their big forwards, they can be very dangerous as well.Sloane has been in career-best form since replacing Patrick Dangerfield as anchor of the Crows midfield, averaging 26 disposals, five clearances and seven tackles per game this year.The 26-year-olds suspension left him ineligible for the Brownlow medal, with former teammate Dangerfield favourite to claim the award.

Brazilian national coach Luiz Felipe Scolari has confirmed that the veteran goalkeeper is set to join Toronto on loan, saying it will help him be ready for the World Cup. EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. -- Minnesota Vikings coach Mike Zimmer said he hasnt decided between Shaun Hill and Sam Bradford?for Sundays game against the Tennessee Titans, and added he wont announce who his starting quarterback will be before the game.Zimmer said he will tell the team once hes made a decision. So get your moles out, he said.The Vikings are splitting snaps between Hill and Bradford this week after acquiring Bradford from the Philadelphia Eagles in a trade on Saturday. The deal, made after quarterback?Teddy Bridgewater?tore his ACL and dislocated his left knee on Aug. 30, plucked Bradford from the Eagles starting lineup and has forced him to learn a new offense eight days before the start of the regular season.Starting receiver?Charles Johnson?said after Wednesdays practice hes been practicing more with Hill this week than Bradford.Sams still coming along, learning the playbook and everything, Johnson said. Hes getting his work in, as well.Bradford said Wednesday hes much more comfortable in the Vikings offense than he was during his first practice with the team on Sunday, adding he doesnt expect to wear a wristband with the plays on it if he does play Sunday.Obviously, just being around here for a couple days, it just helps, seeing cutups, watching film, having meetings, talking to coaches, running plays, getting some reps in practice, he said.Asked if starting the game following a short stretch of preparation could have any adverse effects on his confidence going forward, Bradford said,, Ive been through quite a few ups and downs in this league.dddddddddddd As far as my confidence, and my mental approach to things, I dont think that would have any effect.Titans coach Mike Mularkey, though, didnt sound fazed by the Vikings subterfuge on Wednesday, saying the two quarterbacks are not two completely different styles and adding that common sense suggests Bradford will be the starter sooner rather than later.The number of starts [Bradford has had], hes a very intelligent quarterback, hes faced this defense before, Mularkey said. They wouldnt give up a [No.] 1 and a [No.] 4 to have him sit very long. Hes had a very good preseason -- really, both the quarterbacks had good preseasons. I would anticipate [Bradford starts], and if he doesnt, its not going to change how we prepare.Hill, whom the Vikings signed in 2015 to back up Bridgewater, figured to be the starter following the quarterbacks injury until the Vikings made the trade for Bradford, and Zimmer said Monday that Hill was initially disappointed by the news. Hill, though, said his reaction was one of surprise more than disappointment.I dont read anything you guys write. When I watch TV, I watch Disney Junior. So unless it scrolls across the bottom on Disney Junior, I dont see it, Hill said. I stay right in my lane. I keep that same narrow focus throughout the whole season, whether Im playing or not. ' ' '
