Fremantle midfielder Michael Barlow has put his hand up to make a shock appearance in Saturday nights AFL clash with Melbourne in Darwin.Barlow was expected to be sidelined for at least two more weeks after undergoing surgery on a fractured finger last week.But the 28-year-old approached coach Ross Lyon earlier this week telling him of his eagerness to play against the Demons.Fremantle had the bye last week, meaning Barlow might not even miss a single game with the finger injury.He came into the office (on Tuesday), Lyon told the Seven Network.Hes really keen. Hes got really good movement in that finger. Hes optimistic.Well give him every chance. Its more likely than unlikely to be truthful.Lyon confirmed veteran Matthew Pavlich would make the trip to Darwin, but the 34-year-old could be rested for the round-18 trip to Gold Coast, and the round-22 clash with GWS at Spotless Stadium.Barlows earlier-than-expected recovery is a big boost to the Dockers, who have been forced to contend with a horror injury toll this year.The Dockers currently have 19 players featured on their official injury list.Although ruckman Jon Griffin (hamstring) and Barlow could return against the Demons, stars such as Nat Fyfe, Aaron Sandilands, Harley Bennell, and Michael Johnson are nursing serious injuries.Goalsneak Hayden Ballantyne has escaped the carnage so far.But he dismissed suggestions some players may opt to take their foot off the pedal in order to avoid becoming the latest casualty.My own philosophy is that if you worry about that too much, thats when you get really hurt, Ballantyne said.You take a backward step, and you get even more hurt.(We need to) still play the exact same way. Go as hard as you can.Surprisingly, Ballantyne has been able to avoid the teams injury carnage despite his history of soft tissue injuries.The 28-year-old has played every game this season, and he hopes that trend continues.I dont want to jinx myself here, but this is the longest period of footy Ive played in my career, Ballantyne said.The Dockers fledgling side showed much promise during recent wins against Essendon, Brisbane, and Port Adelaide.But they were given a harsh reality check in their last game - a 48-point thrashing at the hands of Collingwood at the MCG.Ballantyne said the players were keen to bounce back against Melbourne.

Cheap Air Max Shoes Online . -- Kyrie Irvings last-minute 3-pointer helped seal another victory for Cleveland -- and the Cavaliers longest winning streak since LeBron James left. PHOENIX -- Maybe the Arizona Diamondbacks hoped for more from Robbie Ray on the heels of his being named the National League Player of the Week for last weeks two winning performances.Not that Ray disappointed on Thursday night, but he couldnt ride the recent success to another win as the Diamondbacks were limited by Atlanta Braves youngster Matt Wisler in a 3-1 loss.Wisler, called up from Triple-A in time to start Thursday, didnt allow a hit for six innings. The 23-year-old Wisler (5-11) ended up allowing a run and two hits with four strikeouts and three walks in eight innings.He stayed with his sinker, maybe took a little bit off it like a (batting practice) fastball. You saw all of those ground balls that resulted from it when he was behind in the count, Diamondbacks manager Chip Hale said. Tip your cap, guys battled him but he just beat us.Paul Goldschmidt broke up Wislers no-hit bid with a leadoff single in the seventh. Goldschmidt scored on Chris Owings groundout.My whole focus was to just compete on every pitch, Wisler said. Slider got better as the game went along.Ray (7-12) saw his pitch count surpass 100 before the fifth inning was over. He allowed two runs and six hits with four walks and seven strikeouts in five innings.It was a little reminiscent of some of his outings last year, where he would only give up a couple of runs but it took a lot of pitches to do it, Hale said of Ray.The Braves scored twice in the third when the first three hitters singled. Freddie Freeman drove in Ender Inciarte, then Nick Markakis beat out a ground ball to avoid a double play that allowed Adonis Garcia to score from third base.I felt good coming out. Just there in the middle innings, command got away from me a little bit, but I was able to battle and was able to hold them to just two runs, so I am pretty happy with that, Ray said.Atlanta shortstop Dansby Swanson, once a top Diamondbacks prospect, took two hits away with good defensive plays. He went deep in the hole to flag down a sharply hit grounder from Owings and threw him out at first base in the second inning. Then in the third, Swanson reached to catch Tuffy Gosewichs line drive up the middle.Swanson reached on an error to lead off the sixth and scored on Gordon Beckhams double off Arizona reliever Silvino Brach.WWe knew he was going to be a great player.dddddddddddd We drafted him No. 1, Hale said of Swanson. He is a quality kid, he is a quality player. He has a nice future in the major leagues.FREE(MAN) FALLINGFreeman, playing first base, tumbled head first over a railing down the right field line trying to run down a foul pop in the second inning. Freeman somersaulted over the railing and his lower back slammed into a row of chairs beneath the padded fence. Teammates and staff rushed to his aid, but Freeman was able to get to his feet and remained in the game.When I watched the replay I was like, `Were lucky because he didnt snap his back, Braves interim manager Brian Snitker said. Talking to him before his last at-bat, he said `Now it just feels like I got hit with a pitch.ROSTER MOVESThe Diamondbacks called up Bracho and pitcher Vicente Campos before Thursdays game, Bracho from Triple-A Reno and Campos for his major league debut from Double-A Mobile. Relievers Dominic Leone and Steve Hathaway were optioned to Reno.Campos was one of the players acquired from the Yankees for reliever Tyler Clippard on July 31.
