Theyre not in holiday mode yet but Melbourne coach Paul Roos has declared the Demons 2016 AFL season a success.A first win over Hawthorn, or any defending premier, in a decade and the re-signings of brothers Tom and Oscar McDonald has Roos delighted with progress at the AFL club.Like a painter looking back at a canvas, Roos is reflecting on his three years at the club ahead of his final three weeks at the helm.From two wins in 2013, the Demons have nine this year - their best return since 2006.The McDonalds are the latest in a long line of re-contracted youngsters, with Jack Viney (signed until 2020), Jack Watts (2019), Jeff Garlett (2019), Clayton Oliver (2019), Jayden Hunt (2018) and James Harmes (2018) among those to re-sign this year.So while its not mission accomplished just yet, its close enough for Roos.Its not finished. Lets be really clear on that. But absolutely (its been a successful year) ... theres been enormous strides, he said on Thursday.The coaching group have done a fantastic job. Goody and all his assistants have been outstanding.The players are learning, are getting better.The body of work weve put in has been really significant.To get from two wins to nine and the percentage over 100 with three games to go has been a terrific effort.And whats more, the Demons arent giving up on finals just yet.Should North Melbourne lose to Hawthorn on Saturday afternoon, Melbourne will take the field against Port Adelaide on Saturday night knowing a win will keep alive an improbable finals berth.North would still need to lose every game, and the Demons have to win their last three while making up a chunk of percentage.St Kilda would also need to lose at least one of their matches.And perhaps thats why Roos wasnt keen to make a big deal of sneaking into eighth place.Ive never been one to worry too much about that, he said.Weve got a lot of work to do on our game.Weve won two in a row now ... if things fall your way thats great.Roos said he was not too sure whether there would be any more re-signings before years end, with flag-winning forward Chris Dawes and former Demon captains Jack Trengove and Jack Grimes without a deal to play in 2017.But he was always confident Tom McDonalds future was at Melbourne.It probably dragged out a little bit longer than we thought. Thats not a big deal. Its done now, he said.If you can get a good centre half-back, centre half-forward, its really, really important.Roos said Jesse Hogan would be fit to face Port Adelaide but first-gamer Sam Weideman might not be able to back up with a corked thigh.

Then the Pacers gave Oladipo and his Orlando teammates the cold shoulder. Paul Georges buzzer-beating 3-pointer at the end of the third quarter spurred a 21-4 run, finally sending Indiana past the Magic 97-87 in a tougher-than-expected opening night matchup. Arnulfo Obando, the head trainer of pound-for-pound king and junior bantamweight world titleholder Roman Chocolatito Gonzalez, has been declared brain dead but remains on a ventilator after having a recent stroke and undergoing surgery for a brain aneurysm.Carlos Blandon, Gonzalezs manager, told ESPN that Obando was declared brain dead on Monday but remains connected to an artificial respirator.(He) should be let to rest in peace, but his family are the one that make that decision, Blandon said. We are all very sad and cannot believe this is happening. Roman and the team will utilize this as a catalyst for victory. We know Arnulfo is taking care of us from heaven, therefore we are set to make him and his legacy proud.Obando, 54, who is hospitalized in Managua, Nicaragua, took over training four-division champion Gonzalez in 2010 and helped guide him to world titles at junior flyweight, flyweight and junior bantamweight.With Obando in his corner, Gonzalez (46-0, 38 KOs) won a junior bantamweight title by unanimous decision from Mexicos Carlos Cuadras on Sept. 10 at The Forum in Inglewood, California, in what many viewed as the most difficuult fight of his career.dddddddddddd With the win, Gonzalez became the first Nicaraguan boxer to win a world title in four weight divisions. By getting the fourth title, Gonzalez broke the Nicaraguan record held by the late Hall of Famer Alexis Arguello, his mentor, idol and trainer earlier in his career.Gonzalezs next fight was not being planned for until the spring, possibly a rematch with Cuadras. Blandon said they will not seek a new trainer from outside his current team.Luckily, we have a team of three trainers, therefore we will not hire any other trainer and Roman will maintain his other two trainers, Luis Gonzalez and Wilmer Hernandez.Blandon said Obando suffered the stroke in the small town of Terrabona, Nicaragua, where he was visiting his in-laws.Its a very sad situation, said Tom Loeffler, managing director of K2 Promotions, which co-promotes Gonzalez. Obando was an excellent trainer and did a great job with Roman. But it shows you that in life you cant take anything for granted and it is precious. ' ' '
