Matthew Boyd wishes nothing but the best for his old mate Adam Cooney, but those sentiments will be put on hold on Sunday when the Western Bulldogs take on Essendon.The Etihad Stadium clash will be the last of Cooneys career, and also that of former Geelong premiership player Mathew Stokes, with the decorated pair retiring after 250 and 200 AFL games respectively.Boyd, who played alongside Cooney for more than a decade before he switched to the Bombers at the end of 2014, is not alone in his feelings for the retiring Brownlow medallist.Weve got a healthy respect for Coons and what hes been able to achieve in his career, Boyd told AAP.He had a huge impact as a Bulldog, winning a Brownlow and playing a lot of finals for us ... he was a great player for us for a long time.But obviously, were going to try and spoil his party somewhat.The seventh-placed Dogs need a win to maintain their push for a top-four finish, while the Bombers, one game adrift of last spot on the ladder, are playing for pride only.With just two games until the finals, Dogs coach Luke Beveridge pulled a selection surprise when he dropped out-of-form full forward Jake Stringer.Toby McLean and Roarke Smith were brought back into the side that squeezed past Collingwood last week, while Matt Suckling is out with an achilles issue.Injuries to key players has been an unfortunate, recurring theme this year for the Bulldogs.Weve been able to play a lot of players, not only because of our injuries, but also because of the form our younger blokes have shown in the VFL, Boyd said.So were still learning and trying to hone areas of our game to get better, but the great thing is that weve been able to win games along the way (despite that injury toll).Weve been able to win close games as well and I think that builds confidence and belief within the group.The Bombers brought in Darcy Parish, Kyle Langford and Mark Jamar as they looked to record their third win of the season.

VIENNA, Austria -- Nico Rosberg says his decision to retire as world champion was not a difficult one, adding that the moment felt right.After winning the title on Sunday night, Rosberg announced his retirement on Friday ahead of the FIA prize giving gala in Vienna. The decision came as a complete surprise to the F1 media and his team Mercedes was only informed earlier this week, but Rosberg said he knew the timing was right.For me its not that difficult because it just feels right, he said. The only thing that makes it difficult is that I know that I am putting my racing family [Mercedes] into a difficult situation - thats the hardest part for me.Rosberg said he started contemplating retirement after his final victory earlier this year in Japan. The win at the famous Suzuka circuit with four rounds remaining meant the title was his to lose, with three second places and third enough to secure the championship regardless of what teammate and title rival Hamilton achieved.It was after Suzuka because in Suzuka it became my title to lose, he said. Thats when the pressure really started and I started to think about thhis, that if I do achieve my childhood dream then it would be great to end there.dddddddddddd. For sure, I put absolutely everything into it. It was very, very tough and Lewis is an amazing driver and one of the best out there and to beat him is extremely tough. The last four races, but especially the last race were unbelievable -- crazy stuff.After achieving his childhood dream, Rosberg said he did not want to put his family through that level of stress again. Its very simple, Ive achieved what I set out to do. Its unbelievable how clear it was for me, when I was six years old -- you have seen the video I shared on Facebook -- I remember that was my dream. I set out to win the world championship and that was probably inspired by my dad.Of course then it was more of a childhood thing and in later years it became more and more serious, and going for that, I am just so happy [to achieve it]. And at the same time, as I explained, it was a very tough year and I dont want to do that again. ' ' '
