They face a tough test in Perth this weekend, taking on the literal Giant-killers in West Coast.Meanwhile further down the ladder, Essendon finds themselved out of the bottom two in the rankings for just the third time this season, after their inspirational win over Gold Coast on Sunday afternoon.LegendForm: The higher the number, the better a teams recent form.Draw: The higher the number, the easier a teams upcoming draw.Fitness: Determined by the number and quality of fit players available.

By having more great seasons. Manning was the only unanimous choice for the 2013 Associated Press NFL All-Pro team Friday.PHOENIX -- Arizona and San Diego enter the final series of the regular season in search of smaller victories, unfortunately about all that is left to accomplish in a down year for each.Diamondbacks second baseman Jean Segura, whose credentials as a leadoff man were questioned following his offseason acquisition, enters the three-game series with a career-high 201 hits.Segura has a commanding nine-hit lead over Colorados DJ LeMahieu and the Dodgers Corey Seager in an attempt to lead the league in that category, and he is five hits from tying Luis Gonzalezs franchise record of 206 hits set in 1999.The only way the D-backs (66-93) can avoid a disappointing last-place finish in the NL West is with a sweep. The Padres (68-91) have won nine of the first 16 meetings while outscoring the D-backs, 92-69.San Diego rookie right fielder Hunter Renfroe looks to continue his final-week binge in his first appearance at Chase Field, one of the most hitter-friendly parks in baseball.Renfroe, who was promoted when the minor league season ended in the third week of September, has home runs in three of his last four starts, and his work in the first two games of the recently completed Los Angeles series was particularly memorable.Renfroe had two homers and seven RBI in a 7-1 victory over the Dodgers on Tuesday, book-ending his night with a three-run homer in the first inning and a grand slam in the eighth.The most impressive line in that nights box scores:Two-out RBI: Renfroe 7.He had four RBI the next night on a two-run single in the first inning and a two-run homer in the third in the Padres 7-6 victory.

He threw a 149-pitch no-hitter for Arizona at Tampa Bay on June 2, 2010.Jackson, 5-6 with a 5.77 ERA, will be remembered as part of the package the D-backs received in a three-team trade in the winter of 2009 that sent eventual Cy Young winner Max Scherzer to the Tigers. The D-backs also landed Ian Kennedy from the Yankees, who received Curtis Granderson as their major piece.Jackson beat San Francisco in his last outing, and seven of his 12 starts for the Padres have been quality starts.Segura has been a bright light in his first season with the Diamondbacks, out-shining bigger-name offseason acquisitions Zack Greinke and Shelby Miller, neither of whom will take a turn in the final series.With three singles in a rain-shortened 3-0 victory at Washington on Wednesday, Segura reached 200 hits and became the 14th player in major league history to have 200 hits, 20 homers and 30 stolen bases in the regular season.Others on that list include Hank Aaron, Willie Mays, Bobby Bonds, Alex Rodriguez, Larry Walker and Vladimir Guerrero. Jacoby Ellsbury was the most recent addition, when he had 212 hits, 29 homers and 51 stolen bases with Boston in 2011.Segura singled in three plate appearances Thursday before leaving in the seventh inning with cramping in his rib cage.Were hoping its OK so he can continue his quest for Gonzos record, Arizona manager Chip Hale told reporters.
