Carltons season has been all about building for the future but coach Brendon Bolton remains adamant he wont gift AFL debuts to players who havent earnt it.Of the clubs most recent draft class, top pick Jacob Weitering, key forward Charlie Curnow and father-son pick Jack Silvagni have all built solid foundations at senior level this season.That leaves tall forward Harry McKay and midfielder David Cuningham as the only untried players remaining from the last draft.But even with just three games left in the season, Bolton isnt tempted to have a look at them at senior level with an eye to next season unless they force his hand.You earn the opportunity, Ive said that all year, and I wont be changing that, Bolton said.It would be great for our whole draft class to have played, but theyve had a few niggling injuries as well.But (Cuningham) is a talented player, hes really good in and around stoppages and we hope hell be a long-term player for us.Very similar (with McKay), hes had some injuries ... its just about the continuity and the timing of it.Wed like to think (hell debut) but we cant be locked on that.The Blues are currently 15th with a 6-13 record, with games against Brisbane, Melbourne and Essendon to round out Boltons first season in charge.Detroit Red Wings Store .J. Ellis hit two-run homers and the NL West champion Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the San Diego Padres 4-0 Saturday night. Stitched Red Wings Jerseys . Despite dominating possession, Schalke needed an own goal from Nicolas Hoefler for the breakthrough a minute before the interval. The Freiburg midfielder misjudged Jefferson Farfans corner and bundled the ball into his own net. https://www.cheapredwings.com/ . -- San Francisco 49ers linebacker Ahmad Brooks was fined $15,570 by the NFL on Wednesday for his hit on Saints quarterback Drew Brees last Sunday. Custom Detroit Red Wings Jerseys . Louis. To which I would say two things: 1. Where there is smoke, there is or perhaps has been a little fire. Or, in other words, the two teams would appear to have at least spoken. And spoken is defined as one calling the other to inquire, no more, no less. Detroit Red Wings Shirts . Laudrup revealed Thursday he was notified of his dismissal in "the briefest of letters which gave no reasons why such hasty and final action was deemed necessary.WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. -- No. 5 Clemson didnt let its first loss turn into two. Instead, the Tigers wrapped up one championship, assured themselves of playing for another ?? and made a case for a shot at the biggest one of all.Deshaun Watson rushed for two touchdowns and threw for another score, and Clemson bounced back from its first loss of the season by clinching a spot in the Atlantic Coast Conference title game and beating Wake Forest 35-13 on Saturday night.Coming in this week, we understood that last week didnt define us, and our goals are still in front of us, Watson said. So weve just got to keep preparing each week, preparing each day, to go out there and earn it.Wayne Gallman rushed for a season-high 161 yards and two touchdowns, including a 42-yarder on fourth-and-inches that started the scoring for the Tigers (10-1, 7-1, No. 4 CFP).The Atlantic Division champions earned a spot in the ACC title game in two weeks in Orlando, justifying their top-four spot in the College Football Playoff rankings.Playing with something to prove after a last-second loss to Pittsburgh was its first in the regular season in nearly two full years, Clemson reeled off touchdowns on its first four possessions to take a 28-0 lead and then essentially went into protection mode while holding the Demon Deacons to 197 yards -- their fewest since the opener against Tulane.Consider that a huge step forward for a group that gave up 464 yards in the loss to Pitt.It was a good week for us to grow our team, Tigers coach Dabo Swinney said.One mitigating factor: A persistent northerly wind that gusted at nearly 30 mph. Clemsons starters scored four of their five touchdowns with the wind at their backs, but had just 185 total yards in the second and third quarters -- when those gusts were in their faces.Watson was 23 of 33 for 202 yards and sandwiched a pair of short scoring runs around a pretty 15-yard touchdown pass to Mike Williams, checking out after Gallmans second TD with 10:50 to play.Cade Carney had a 1-yard touchdown run and Mike Weaver kicked field goals of 42 and 23 yards for Wake Forest (6-5, 3-4).We got off to an awful start, Wake Forest coach Dave Clawson said.dddddddddddd A lot of it was that they played well, and a lot of it is, we just didnt execute.THE TAKEAWAYClemson: Despite that lull midway through the game -- which could be rationalized by the effects of the wind -- there was no reason for concern for the Tigers, who certainly looked like the ACCs most playoff-worthy team while stripping all the drama from this one early. Clemson had 192 total yards and 21 points in the first quarter.Wake Forest: Giving a redshirt freshman quarterback his first start against one of the ACCs toughest defenses -- not to mention, one carrying a grudge after giving up 43 points last week -- is hardly a recipe for an upset. Kyle Kearns replaced John Wolford, who was in uniform but did not play with what team officials said was an ankle injury, and was 7 of 18 for 126 yards.We didnt sweat it too much, receiver Chuck Wade said. We all have faith in KK. We all rallied around him.POLL IMPLICATIONSIts a safe bet the Tigers will once again be the ACCs highest-ranked team, if for no other reason than Louisvilles loss at Houston certainly will cost the Cardinals their No. 3 ranking. No reason to drop Clemson for a 22-point victory on the road.STAT WATCHThe struggles that haunted Wake Forests defense late in last weeks loss at Louisville spilled over into the start of this one. The Demon Deacons gave up 34 points in the fourth quarter of that loss, then 21 more in the first quarter against Clemson before they regrouped and allowed just 14 points during the final 45 minutes.UP NEXTClemson: Plays host to rival South Carolina in its regular-season finale.Wake Forest: Finishes the regular season at home next Saturday against a Boston College team chasing bowl eligibility.---Follow Joedy McCreary at http://twitter.com/joedyap.
