Fremantle coach Ross Lyon says its not the time to bend to individual agendas, stating he will use the remainder of the AFL season to see which players will dig in for him.Rumours of player unrest at the Dockers are growing following the clubs disastrous season, which has yielded just three wins from 20 games.Contracted goalsneak Hayden Ballantyne has requested a trade, while a host of other players are also set to exit the club - not all of them voluntarily.Assistant coach Peter Sumich left the club abruptly last week, while president Steve Harris has announced hell step down at the end of the season, to be replaced by vice-president Dale Alcock.Lyon said Harris retirement after seven years as president had been planned for some time, and Sumich was unlikely to have been at the club anyway in 2017.The veteran coach was asked about the rumours of player unrest following the teams 72-point loss to Adelaide on Sunday.Lyon said he was comfortable with his coaching style, and that it was important to determine which players were committed to the cause.Ive been (in league footy) since I was 16, so its 34 years, Lyon said.And you look at clubs that are strong and work their way under pressure.And then (you see) those that are held captive without strong leadership to individual agendas, and I think thats toxic.But I see it as a real opportunity (now) to see those that dig in.Thats the beauty of experience. I see this as an opportunity. Theres always a loud minority, and theres always people prepared to listen to a loud minority.But for me, I just want to continue to be the coach that Matthew Pavlich wanted his whole career.Thats what he wrote in his book, didnt he? Im the coach that he always hoped for. Im pretty comfortable continuing in that vein. Its not a bad spot to be.Michael Barlow, Anthony Morabito, Matt de Boer, Tendai Mzungu, Nick Suban, Zac Clarke, Hayden Ballantyne, Jack Hannath, Alex Silvagni, Chris Mayne, and Clancee Pearce are no guarantees to be at the club next year, while veteran Matthew Pavlich will retire.Lyon said Ballantyne had asked for a two-year contract extension earlier this year.But it now appears the 29-year-old wants out, with a shift to cross-town rivals West Coast a very real prospect.The Dockers could be in for some more on-field pain this week when they take on GWS at Spotless Stadium on Saturday.Ruckman Aaron Sandilands appears set to miss the trip after his glute tightened up against the Crows, while Pavlich will be rested ahead of his round-23 farewell game against the Bulldogs. http://www.falconsrookiestore.com/Hats/ http://www.falconsrookiestore.com/Falcons-Takkarist-Mckinley-Jersey/ .

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. -- Indiana defensive coordinator Tom Allen began his latest rebuilding project by asking his players to believe in themselves.Now comes the hard part: turning that new attitude into victories this fall.One season after the Hoosiers ended an eight-year bowl drought, their new associate head coach believes he can change the perception and direction of an oft-criticized defense in need of a major overhaul.You try to rebuild that confidence, for sure, Allen said when the Hoosiers opened practice. Its a simple process to rebuild that, and thats what were going to do. But its not an easy process.Over the past two decades, the Hoosiers (6-7, 2-6 Big Ten) have tried everything to improve the defense -- coaching changes, philosophical changes, lineup changes, even schematic changes. When nothing worked, Allen became Indianas third defensive coordinator in four years.He takes over a group that allowed more points, touchdowns, total yards and yards passing than any Big Ten team last season. The Hoosiers also allowed the second-highest rushing total in the league.Allen will take the traditional nickel package and use it as his primary defense, substituting a hybrid safety for a linebacker in hopes of getting better coverage against spread offenses while still being stout enough to hold up against the run.The new defense simplifies everything, linebacker Marcus Oliver said. It allows us not to think but to play fast and to play hard. If you have to think, you dont know what youre doing.Will this finally be the game-changer Indiana has been looking for? Allen believes it will work, and perhaps, more importantly, so do the players.Well have more athletes out there, well be more versatile and that nickel guy can cover and help you off the edge, cornerback Rashard Fant said. Its exciting.Here are some other things to watch this season:DEVINNE INTERVENTIONIndiana replaced 2,000-yard rusher Tevin Coleman with 1,000-yard rusher Jordan Howard last season.dddddddddddd. Now the Hoosiers are asking another 1,000-yard runner, Devine Redding to replace Howard. The 5-foot-10, 208-pound Redding is smaller than his predecessors but has added about five pounds this season to survive the weekly grind. Hes also on the right trajectory, rushing for more than 500 yards in the last three games of 2015.FINISHING TOUCHIndiana won six times last season and they would have had nine -- had they protected a 31-point third-quarter lead against Rutgers and prevented Michigan and Duke from forcing overtime with touchdowns in the final minute of regulation. Coach Kevin Wilson is hoping last seasons tough lessons will pay off with better finishes in 2016.QUICK STARTIndiana had to win its final two games -- on the road -- to become bowl eligible last season. This year, theyll need a fast start to wind up in the mix. After a trip to Florida International, Indiana hosts Ball State and Wake Forest before things get very difficult in Big Ten. They host Michigan State on Oct. 1, then visit Ohio State on Oct. 8 and host Nebraska on Oct. 15.SEASON OPENERIndiana is trying to find a successor for quarterback Nate Sudfeld. The battle is likely to come down to Richard Lagow, a highly touted junior college transfer now at his third Division I school, and junior Zander Diamont, who has more experience with Indianas offense. But a winner may not be declared before the Hoosiers visit FIU on Sept. 1.PREDICTIONThe Hoosiers seem set for a 6-6 season. That game against the Spartans is a big one, and the Hoosiers cant afford to overlook anyone, including Rutgers on Nov. 5 and Penn State on Nov. 12.
