Sydneys AFL grand final know-how will count for nothing against the inexperienced Western Bulldogs, according to midfielder Dan Hannebery.The Swans, readying for their third season-decider in five years, are vastly more familiar with what awaits at the MCG on Saturday than the Bulldogs, who will play their first since 1961.Despite this seasons more youthful line-up, Sydney coach John Longmire fielded 12 players with grand-final experience in last Fridays preliminary final against Geelong.Seven of those had appeared in more than one, with forward Lance Franklin about to line up for his fifth.In stark contrast, the Bulldogs team that pipped Greater Western Sydney in Saturdays thrilling second fixture did not contain a single player with first-hand knowledge of the games showpiece.Only the sidelined Matt Suckling (Achilles), who won two flags with former club Hawthorn but remains in doubt for this weekend, has grand final experience.But 2012 premiership player Hannebery dismissed the gulf as irrelevant, citing the Swans humiliating 63-point loss to Hawthorn in the 2014 grand final as proof that even a side stacked with old hands can come undone in the codes biggest game.Its great there is experience there but at the same time I dont think it has any bearing on the result at all, Hannebery told AAP.A couple of years ago we were embarrassed on that stage with guys with that experience anyway.So it counts for nothing.Youve just got to make sure you bring your A-game, that youve got that real steely mindset when that first ball is bounced.Hannebery backed the Bulldogs to keep the emotion of their fairytale win over the Giants well in check amid external concerns they might have done their dash a week early.Instead, the talented on-baller expected a tight and ferocious encounter with the side ranked second only to the Swans in contested possessions.The Bulldogs also lead the league in disposals, while the Swans are second.Their main strength is the ability to keep the ball alive, Hannebery said.Theyre probably the best handballers as a group Ive ever seen - theyre incredible.Theyve got a great midfield led by (Marcus) Bontempelli and (Tom) Liberatore and some seriously dangerous forwards.Then you have (Jason) Johannisen off the half-back line and (Shane) Biggs - theyve got stars all over the park.Thats why theyre in a grand final, theyre a great footy side and a side that touched us up (by four points) at the SCG and we certainly respect them enormously.

COLLEGE STATION, Texas -- When Mississippi coach Hugh Freeze saw Shea Patterson win a state championship as a high school junior he walked away with a man crush on the quarterback.Safe to say hes still crushing on Patterson after his performance Saturday night.Patterson threw for 338 yards and two touchdowns in his debut and Gary Wunderlich made a 39-yard field goal with 37 seconds left to lift Mississippi past No. 10 Texas A&M, 29-28 on Saturday night.The Rebels pulled the redshirt off Patterson, the highly regarded recruit, to start in place of Chad Kelly, who suffered a season-ending knee injury last week.Ive recruited this kid since he was a ninth-grader and Ive kind of always known that he has that `it quality, Freeze said. The guy just makes plays. He doesnt get rattled a lot.Mississippi (5-5, 2-4 Southeastern Conference) trailed by 15 entering the fourth quarter before Patterson got going.A 13-yard touchdown reception by Josh Reynolds put A&M up 28-19. Patterson then connected with Van Jefferson on a 32-yard reception for his second TD pass of the quarter to cut the lead to 28-26 with 5:17 remaining.A&M (7-3, 4-3) had to punt and Patterson moved the offense into position for Wunderlichs winner.The Aggies had a chance to win it late, but Jake Hubenak had a pass intercepted by Deontay Anderson to secure the victory. Hubenak was making his first start this season in place of Trevor Knight, who injured his shoulder last week.I put it on me, Hubenak said. I think it didnt do a good enough job in the second half.Early in the fourth quarter Patterson looked like he was channeling A&M Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Manziel when he scrambled to one side, avoided the rush and ran the other way before launching a 6-yard touchdown pass to Damoreea Stringfellow to get Ole Miss within 21-13.Its crazy, my first start -- Johnny Manziel was my favorite player growing up, Patterson said. Its ironic that I get my first start at Kyle Field. Its awesome.On their next drive Stringfellow reached out with his right hand and tipped the ball with his fingertips before reeling it in with one hand for an eye-popping 40-yard reception.There were several key points but that was certainly one, Freeze said. Hes one of the most talented kids Ive ever coached ... it was a phenomenal catch.Akeem Judds 21-yard run made it 21-19, but the two-point conversion failed.The Aggies led 21-6 at halftime thanks to two touchdown runs by Keith Ford.ddddddddddddhe Rebels had turnovers on their first two possessions of the second half, but Texas A&M couldnt convert either of them into points. Patterson threw an interception on the first one and Jason Pellerin was sacked and fumbled after that.They just made some great plays at crucial times and they got one over on us, Texas A&M defensive end Myles Garrett said.THE TAKEAWAYMISSISSIPPI: Patterson showed why he was the No. 1 rated dual-threat quarterback recruit by Rivals last year, and should make Ole Miss fans excited about his potential for next season. But first hell look to get the Rebels a win over Vanderbilt next week to make them bowl eligible for the fifth straight season.TEXAS A&M: Hubenak couldnt make plays in the second half and the Aggie struggled with tackling yet again. Hell have to improve if Texas A&M hopes to beat LSU in two weeks and salvage this season that started out with six straight wins before the Aggies dropped three of their last four games.INJURY REPORTTEXAS A&M: LB Armani Watts was injured in the first quarter and didnt return. Watts had to be helped off the field and wasnt able to put any pressure on his right leg. Texas A&M coach Kevin Sumlin did not give an update on his condition.KEY NUMBERSOle Miss outgained A&M 490 to 342 yards and piled up 30 first downs to just 13 by the Aggies. Texas A&M converted just six of its 14 third-down attempts and was 0 for 2 on fourth-down tries.Those two fourth down opportunities ended up costing us, Sumlin said. The ability to get either three points on either one of those, or a touchdown, in a game like that is a big deal.POLL IMPLICATIONSTEXAS A&M: The Aggies will certainly fall a few spots after losing to an unranked opponent. However they might not tumble that far since three teams ahead of them in the poll also lost on Saturday as well as a handful of teams below them.UP NEXTMISSISSIPPI : The Rebels visit Vanderbilt next Saturday.TEXAS A&M : The Aggies take a break from SEC play by hosting Texas-San Antonio next Saturday before wrapping up the regular season against LSU on Thanksgiving night.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-Top25 ' ' '
