Corey Enright admits the tears after Geelongs preliminary-final loss were a strong sign that his AFL career was over.But the Cats great said he only made the final decision on Sunday, after a week of soul-searching and conversations with several people inside and outside the club.The three-time Geelong premiership player announced his retirement on Wednesday, after a club-record 332 games.Geelongs season ended with the preliminary-final loss to Sydney and Enright cried as he walked off the MCG, heightening speculation that the end was imminent.Enright also admitted he had been thinking throughout this season that it might be his last.It wasnt until Sunday afternoon, after the grand final had finished and all the emotions had gone, he said.But I guess being so emotional (after the preliminary final) actually tells you something - that maybe your time is up.So it probably did saying something to me, that my time was up, and I was thinking that way for most of the season.Enright is a six-time All-Australian player and has the rare distinction of earning the last of those selections in his final season.He said there was a lot to ponder, given his form was still strong and the Cats would go into next season as premiership hopefuls.It wasnt an easy decision, but (its) something Im comfortable with right now, he said.It was more about how I was feeling.Im proud of the fact that I can go out on my terms and I guess still playing good footy, so that was something that sits pretty well with me.It wasnt easy, playing in a preliminary final and getting so close, being a realistic chance next year to contend again.All those things, you take into consideration.Enright is unsure what he will do next - now the decision is made, he wants time to clear his head and have some family time.The Cats wanted him to continue and Enright said several teammates had made that clear to him.Its obviously hard when it comes from your teammates, who you love and youve played so much footy with, he said.You hear them tug on your heartstrings a little bit and that clouds your decision, because you dont want to let them down.After he told the club officially on Monday, Enright had a beer with captain Joel Selwood to explain the decision.Not surprisingly, Enright also has the rare satisfaction of no major regrets about ending his career.I can sleep pretty well at night - I felt like Ive given my all, he said. Brian Propp Jersey . This should be celebrated because it will not always be this way. With the amount of money given to players by their clubs these days, it is a wonder that so many of those teams allow the sport to continue to take away many of their assets so they can play for a different team in the middle of their season. Claude Giroux Flyers Jersey . 10 Texas Rangers jersey for one last time. Young formally announced his retirement Friday after returning to Rangers Ballpark, his baseball home for all but the last of his 13 major league seasons. http://www.hockeyflyersauthentic.com/eric-lindros-jersey/ . Marincin has played in two NHL games so far this season with two penalty minutes. The 21-year-old has three goals, four assists and a plus-5 rating in 24 games with the American Hockey Leagues Oklahoma City Barons this season. Robert Hagg Jersey . Aduriz headed home Markel Susaetas cross in the sixth minute to open the scoring at San Mames Stadium. He bettered that with a long-range blast that went in off the goal frame in the 18th, and converted a penalty in the 72nd after Diego Mainz was sent off for fouling Aduriz with only the goalkeeper to beat. Travis Konecny Flyers Jersey . Having already announced that the race will start May 9 with three stages in Northern Ireland and Ireland and finish in Trieste on June 1, the rest of the route was unveiled Monday. The next two weeks are going to make fantasy football players earn their spots in the standings, with six teams on byes each of the next two weeks.Fantasy owners will have to plan very well to fill in for many of their idle starters, and some injuries wont make things any easier.Before you start stressing out, though, we are here to help you navigate through the daunting seas of Week 8. If you are well prepared, the bye storm wont take your team down and it will eventually pass.QB HELPFantasy owners looking for QB help this week seem to be taking to Jets passer Ryan Fitzpatrick as a friendly streaming option -- a choice for this week, not as someone you would regularly play. Clevelands 29th-ranked pass defense has allowed an NFL-high 18 TD tosses. But the Browns also have the AFCs worst run defense, and the Jets may elect to ride Matt Forte heavily as well. Fitzpatricks struggles have come this year when he has been asked to carry the offense. Look for the Jets to establish the ground game to open up things for Fitzpatrick. He doesnt have tremendous upside this week, but can provide solid numbers if you need a plug-in. Just dont start him over a more regularly reliable QB. Josh McCown returns for Cleveland, and is a viable one week play too -- the Jets pass defense ranks 26th in the league.WILSON EXPECTATIONSRussell Wilson has certainly not looked like himself recently, as health concerns have prevented him from being his usual nimble self. A matchup with the Saints 30th ranked pass defense would seem to be a must-start matchup for Wilson in most instances, but right now, he is no sure thing as an easier target with mediocre blocking. Still, you have to use him because his playmakers can ensure he at least has a decent outing. Doug Baldwin is a must start and Jimmy Graham is facing his former team. One guy you may want to avoid as a bye week fill-in, however, is Tyler Lockett. Regardless of matchup, he does not look like his usual self, as a knee issue has seemingly robbed him of some of his burst and explosion. A recent thigh problem wont help his matters, either.RB HELPDont hesitate to turn to Minnesota running back Matt Asiata. He is the Vikings clear TD runner of choice in short yardage situations, and Chicago has allowed 10 rushing scores. The situations in Detroit and Washington also bear heavy watching from those looking for running back fill-ins. Theo Riddick may return from an ankle injury for the Lions and should immediately be plugged back into point-per-reception lineups. Rookie Dwayne Washington may get some work between the tackles and TD opportunities. Robert Kelley may take over as the starter for the hurting and fumble-prone Matt Jones, and Chris Thompson could see a healthy amount of touches for PPR players as the teams clear receiver of choice out of the backfield.BRYANT BACKDez Bryant is expected to return from aa knee injury this week against the Eagles.dddddddddddd. Philadelphia has the third-best pass defense in the NFC, but you have to get Bryant back into your lineup, even if your expectations may be somewhat tempered. Dak Prescott showed a real willingness to get him the ball in scoring and contested situations in the preseason and early in the regular season. His return, however, does not mean you should expect too much less from Cole Beasley, as Prescott has developed a real affinity for him as a safer target on key passing downs.TAMPA BAY VS. OAKLANDThe Tampa Bay offense becomes a very interesting source fantasy production against the Raiders, who have the leagues worst pass defense and the fifth-worst run defense. Of course, Jacquizz Rodgers is a definite start, but with his 5-6, 205 pound frame, the Buccaneers should not continue to use him as a workhorse and you may see the more bulky Peyton Barber get some work, too. Barber is worth consideration as a desperation play. Russell Shepard caught five passes for 77 yards and a TD last week and is a nifty fill-in at WR this week. TE Cameron Brate always has TD potential and Jameis Winston is an obvious QB streamer.TY ELIGIBILITYIf you play in an ESPN league, you should note that Ty Montgomery is now eligible at running back, giving you some extra flexibility, especially when you need to cover byes. The Packers play the Falcons, who have the worst pass defense in the NFC. This is an opportunity for Jordy Nelson to at least get back into the end zone. Davante Adams enjoyed a career outing last week against Chicago, and while he is unreliable as a third WR in the Green Bay passing game, you have to lock him in this week. Keep a watch on running backs Don Jackson and Knile Davis to see if either player emerges.HOPE FOR HOUSTON?While Houston wideouts have been frustrating, you can start DeAndre Hopkins with some confidence and also get big-play threat Will Fuller back into your lineup. The Lions have the leagues 23rd-ranked pass defense and are tied with the Browns with an NFL-high 18 TD passes allowed. The Texans are starting to make a real effort to get Hopkins more involved.REVENGE MATCHUPSSome Fantasy analysts buy into the occasional revenge game angle when the player is good and other surrounding factors seem to contribute to the script. Seattles Graham is a key example as the Saints traded him away, but youre not going to bench him anyway. Look for New Englands Chris Hogan to enjoy his return to Buffalo as part of the powerful New England offense. Tom Brady will want to get the ex-Bill the ball in some key situations, especially for a TD opportunity or two.---This column was provided to The Associated Press by the Fantasy Sports Network, http://FNTSY.com ' ' '
