Jack Ziebell has nominated better ball use as the key to North Melbourne halting their slide down the AFL ladder on Friday night.The Kangaroos banked nine consecutive wins in their best ever start to a season but have since crashed to eighth and next face Collingwood in a must-win encounter at Etihad Stadium.Ruckman Todd Goldstein and key forward Drew Petrie have copped the brunt of recent scrutiny during Norths five-match losing streak.The criticism has grated Ziebell somewhat, with the vice-captain lamenting the way his team has butchered the ball in recent weeks.Theyre very important parts of our side. It definitely isnt just those two guys who havent been doing as much as they can, its on all of the leaders and the whole team, Ziebell told AAP.Theres some different things that have fallen away a little bit.Our ball use is one that we can obviously do a lot better in. We can take a lot more ownership in making sure the ball gets to our teammate a lot cleaner.It has slipped and we have to work our butts off to get it back to where it was.Ziebell noted the Kangaroos forward line, including Petrie, have suffered because of their teammates sloppiness.Petrie celebrated his 300th game in round seven but more recently hit the headlines when club great Wayne Carey suggested the 33-year-olds time was up.You look at key forwards, even forwards in general, they rely on other people getting the ball to them, Ziebell said.In the last month we havent been helping out big Drewy and the rest of our forwards in that regard.Hopefully we can give them more opportunities to kick goals and put a big score on the board.Ziebell echoed coach Brad Scotts call for calm, saying all the ingredients were there for North to reproduce the early-season form that earned them top spot on the ladder.We just have to rediscover a bit of that flair and stuff that we had in the first half of the season, the hard-nosed midfielder said.If we can do that, we know that were a good side and well be a hard team to beat.Theres still plenty of football to be played this year.Not much has changed in terms of personnel (compared to the first half of the season). Obviously theres a few guys out but the team well put out is very, very capable. Adidas Nmd Schuhe Günstig .

Opposing sides of a contract dispute between the UFC and former welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre continued to dig their heels in Tuesday.Earlier this week, St-Pierre, 35, publicly stated he had terminated his contract with the UFC, effectively making him a highly coveted free agent. Hours later, the UFC responded that St-Pierre remains under an exclusive contract.Attorneys representing St-Pierre told ESPN on Tuesday their stance remains the same, despite the UFCs response. Jim Quinn of New York firm Weil, Gotshal and Manges said the fighter is able to terminate his deal because the UFC breached contract by not offering him a fight.Our position is the contract is terminated, Quinn said. I suppose they could take legal steps against that or they could offer a new contract. They have a variety of options on their side.St-Pierre (25-2) vacated the UFC welterweight title and walked away from professional fighting in 2013, but entered negotiations in February for a comeback fight in the UFC.The Canadian stars contract, which was signed in 2011, presented several complications. For instance, the last time St-Pierre fought, the UFC did not have an exclusive apparel provider. In 2014, the promotion signed such a deal with Reebok, which creates a conflict with St-Pierres independent apparel sponsors.St-Pierre said those complications were in the process of being resolved, until the UFC announced it had sold to new owners WME-IMG for $4 billion in July. It was at that time, St-Pierre enlisted attorneys at Weil, Gotshal and Manges.According to attorney Eric Hochstadt, St-Pierre has never received an actual bout agreement in 2016. The firm eventually set a 10-day deadline for the UFC to offer St-Pierre a fight. The UFC did not rrespond to the deadline until the final day, according to St-Pierres side, with a letter that referenced a potential bout against former welterweight champion Robbie Lawler.ddddddddddddawler recently withdrew from a scheduled fight on Nov. 12 in New York.The UFC waited until the 11th-and-a-half hour to come back with bare bones information, that floated one fighter and nothing else, Hochstadt said. No specifics at all in terms of fight date, venue, number of rounds. All we got, at the 11th hour, was a proposal for somebody. And as Georges said, we dont know if [Lawler is] ready and able to fight. All we know is he just pulled out of a fight.We were working through all the issues in play and had been squaring them away. One of them, no surprise, was the UFC has a Reebok deal that came in long after Georges contract. We were working through those things, but ultimately, youve got to schedule a fight for your fighter. The UFC knows how to schedule fights. This is what they do every day. Send a bout agreement with all the specifics. They didnt do that here. Why they chose not to do that, I dont know.During his interview on The MMA Hour on Monday, St-Pierre said he intended to take some time away from the stressful situation and did not reveal his next move.Despite recent comments from UFC president Dana White suggesting the opposite, St-Pierre says he absolutely wishes to fight again.Georges wants to fight, Quinn said. Hes not ruling out the UFC. He just believes, at this stage, they had long enough under the old contract. Now hell either fight for the UFC or somewhere else, but hes going to fight. ' ' '
