Geelong coach Chris Scott wants his AFL side to deliver the ball to Tom Hawkins more often as the spearhead attempts to hit form before finals.Hawkins has been below his best for most of the year, booting a total of 44 goals and pulling in an average of 5.5 marks per game.Hes not happy with his season and I support his position on that one, Scott told Fox Footy.He just doesnt think hes getting to enough contests in good positions.When we kick it to him, sometimes its going on his head ... maybe not enough movement to create some space before we go to him.In our opinion as a coaching group, we dont think were kicking it to him enough either ... wed like Tom to be playing better but were really confident hes got that footy in him.Like most of the Cats, Hawkins struggled in the first three quarters against Richmond last Sunday.The hulking forward lifted in the final term, kicking the Cats final goal and pulling in a couple of big marks in an astonishing scoring spree that led to a four-point win.He was really important late in the game, Scott said.He was very, very dominant last week. I know he played a side outside the eight in Essendon and they had some undersized defenders.But he was, barring his set-shot goalkicking, the best player on the ground.Hawkins is upbeat he has turned the corner recently, having showed glimpses of his best against Western Bulldogs, Essendon and Richmond.Ive played a lot better in the last three weeks. I didnt have my best game (against Richmond) but when the opportunities arose late I thought I was pretty good, the 28-year-old said.Hawkins was one of many Geelong forwards to have a case of the yips against Richmond, with the visitors kicking 10.22 from 66 inside-50s.It (the forward line) is the most unstable part of our team, he said.Our midfield is pretty settled, we dont have too many injuries in there. Our back line is very experienced.So thats the obvious part that stands out for us but it wasnt just execution in front of goal. We turned the ball over in some really bad spots, butchered some entries and it wasnt the forwards.Geelong face Brisbane at the Gabba on Sunday in a match they are fully expected to win.Three of the clubs five losses this year have come against sides in the bottom half of the ladder.The numbers are stacking up. It (complacency) is part of it, Scott said.We have raised our level against the better teams and we havent been as good against teams outside the eight, thats something we need to address.Nike Vapormax España .

Brian Downing was with the Chicago White Sox at a time when I listened to every game I possibly could on the radio. That particular season the late great Harry Caray was calling the White Sox games. Nike Vapormax Rebajas . Brad Jacobs and his Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., team took control of the game early.WACO, Texas -- Kalani Brown is 20 pounds lighter this season, and Baylors 6-foot-7 sophomore post player is moving smoothly up and down the court. And shes dominating on both ends for the second-ranked Lady Bears.Brown set career highs with 25 points, 19 rebounds and six assists and Baylor took over after halftime on way to an 84-70 victory over ninth-ranked UCLA on Monday night.My game is elevated, said Brown, the Louisiana native who said she ate healthier and worked extra throughout the offseason. Being able to take off getting my second wind, it feels really good.UCLA coach Cori Close put it simply: Kalani Brown was a hand full.Baylor had trailed 48-41 at halftime, but got even in the first 2 minutes of the third quarter. Alexis Prince hit a 3-pointer before Alexis Jones and Brown each had baskets, and assisted each other.Up by only two going to the fourth quarter, a layup by Jones soon after that started a 14-0 run over a 5-minute span for the Lady Bears (2-0). That spurt included a 13-foot straight-up jumper for Brown, who finished 12-of-15 shooting.Asked if it was the kind of overall game she expected of Brown, who also matched her career high with five blocked shots, Baylor coach Kim Mulkey responded, Yes, quite frankly. ... Kalani was one of the guys in the Oregon State game at the end of the year that wasnt afraid to get in there and bang with you. Yeah, thats why she stayed on the floor.Jordin Canada led UCLA (1-1) with 23 points, while Monique Billings had 16 points with 10 rebounds. Kari Korver had 13 points.Preseason All-America forward Nina Davis, Prince and Jones each had 15 points for Baylor. All played the entire second half, when Baylor outscored UCLA 43-22, and Kristy Wallace played the entire game.Our defense, not only picked it up in intensity, we just had positioning where we were smarter, Mulkey said. And I just think that you went with the most experienced, veteran players that could produce in a big game.BIG PICTUREUCLA: While the Bruins played like a top-10 team most of the first half, they just didnt have a big body to match up with Brown.dddddddddddd. After six 3-pointers (on 15 shots), helped UCLA take as much as an 11-point lead in the first half, they were 0-for-7 from long range after halftime. They came out in the second half and exerted their will, Close said of Baylor.Baylor: With consecutive games against top-10 opponents Mulkey leaned on the returning players. The three freshmen for the Lady Bears are going to be standout players, but Lauren Cox was 0-for-4 shooting with two rebounds in 4 minutes, and Natalie Chou was 0-for-1 with two rebounds in 12 minutes. Juicy Landrum didnt even play. All three got significant action in the season-opening rout over Houston Baptist.POLL IMPLICATIONSBaylor certainly lived up to its No. 2 ranking against another top-10 team, and gets another quick test at No. 3 UConn. UCLA has a chance to recover with the next two games at home and could stay in the top 10 with a couple of wins.BIG BOARDSThe Lady Bears had a 52-25 rebounding edge. Take out Browns 19 (including eight offensive boards), and Baylor still would have a 33-25 advantage.MAYBE IN MARCH?All the credit to Baylor, they showed great experience and poise, and I hope we get to play them again, Close said.REALLY, COACHWhen Mulkey was asked how blunt she was with her halftime message, she said, Its too early in the year to get ugly with them. Brown had a grin on her face when she rolled her eyes. Asked if she was getting soft, Mulkey then replied, Im just mellowing in my old age.UP NEXTUCLA returns home to play at home twice in three days. The Bruins play Southern University on Friday, then host Cal Poly on Sunday.Baylor hits the road for the first time and plays another top-10 opponent. The Lady Bears play Thursday at third-ranked UConn. ' ' '
