Injured javelin thrower Kim Mickle is adamant her dodgy shoulder will be able to hold up to the rigours of Aussie Rules footy after signing on to play with Fremantle in the AFLs new womens league.Mickle underwent surgery last month after dislocating her reconstructed right shoulder while competing at the Rio Olympics.But in a shock move, Mickle has joined Fremantles new womens team on a rookie deal.The 31-year-old is still planning to defend her Commonwealth Games gold in 2018 on the Gold Coast.In the meantime, she wants to make a name for herself in Aussie Rules.Many experts are wondering how Mickle can play football after undergoing two rounds of shoulder surgery within the space of a year.But Mickle said her recent surgery was different to the first one, and would actually allow her shoulder to stand up to the rough and tumble of football.Its the same as what Nat Fyfe had done, and he was playing after 12 weeks of his surgery, Mickle said on Wednesday.The reason why we did the first surgery with anchors was to keep flexibility in the shoulder for a javelin throw.But as everyone saw in Rio, it didnt hold my shoulder in place when it came to the crunch time.So weve now opted for the (different) repair, which will make a stiffer shoulder, but a stronger shoulder.In terms of footy, thats brilliant. In terms of contact, its no dramas.Mickle says even if she loses 10 per cent of range in her shoulder by choosing the different type of surgery, it wont have much of an affect on her javelin throw.The two-time Olympian has little experience playing footy, having been forced by her parents to give up mixed football as a junior for fear she would get injured.It was just a bit rough for the boys with me being in their team, Mickle joked.But despite forging a successful athletics career, football has remained a big passion for Mickle.I warm up with a footy in hand all the time, Mickle said.Im always kicking around with the boys.Ive got a good boot on me. Ive got some good hands on me.In terms of getting off the ground and up, thats the bit where Ill have to do some work.Fremantle also signed WNBL title winner Gabby OSullivan as a rookie, while Ebony Antonio and Kirby Bentley joined as priority selections.The inaugural womens league season will run from February to March next year.Mickle is confident shell be ready to play by round one.Fremantle werent the only ones to get into the Olympic spirit, with basketballer Erin Phillips signing with Adelaides womens team.Phillips is a dual Olympian and is playing for the Dallas Wings in the WNBA in the United States.Wholesale Fake Shoes .

Fake Yeezy . -- Timbers coach Caleb Porter didnt stray from his business-like approach to the season even after Portland downed the two-time defending league champion Los Angeles Galaxy to gain crucial playoff position.ORLANDO, Fla. -- Deshaun Watson bolstered his Heisman Trophy candidacy by passing for three touchdowns and running for two more to lead third-ranked Clemson to a 42-35 victory over No. 19 Virginia Tech in the Atlantic Coast Conference championship game Saturday night.Winning consecutive league titles for the first time in 28 years likely will send the Tigers (12-1, No. 3 CFP) back to the four-team College Football Playoff for the second straight year, providing Watson with an opportunity to resolve unfinished business from last January, when his team lost to Alabama in the national championship game.The Clemson star completed 23 of 34 passes for 288 yards, including TDs of 21 and 10 yards to Jordan Leggett and 15 yards to Hunter Renfrow for a 42-28 lead midway through the fourth quarter. He also rushed for 85 yards on 17 attempts for the Tigers. Theyve won back-to-back ACC titles for the first time since winning three straight from 1986-88.Watsons Virginia Tech counterpart, Jerod Evans, was just as impressive. The 6-foot-3, 238-pound ran for two touchdowns and rallied the Hokies from a 21-point deficit to make it close at the end.The Hokies (9-4, No. 23 CFP) scored on three straight possessions, trimming what was once a 35-14 deficit to seven points on Evans 5-yard run early in the fourth quarter and Cam Phillips 26-yard TD reception with just under 6 minutes remaining.Virginia Tech got the ball back with a chance to force overtime. Evans drove his team to the Clemson 23, where the drive stalled when Tigers cornerback Cordrea Tankersley intercepted a pass on fourth-and-6.THE TAKEAWAYClemson: Its been a year-long quest to get back to the CFP, and the Tigers survived every test with the exception of a 43-42 loss to Pittsburgh in early November -- a game in which the Tigers turned the ball over three times but still came within a fourth-aand-1 conversion of winning.dddddddddddd Watson was overshadowed early in the season, when ACC player of the year Lamar Jackson was posting gaudy statistics for Louisville, however the Clemson quarterbacks performance Saturday night added to the sterling resume hes put together for Heisman Trophy consideration .Virginia Tech: The Coastal Division winners werent just happy to be in the title game. Coach Justin Fuente and his players were determined to make the most of the Hokies first appearance in the title game in five years. And for a half, they kept it close, weathering Clemson scoring on its first three possessions to build a 21-7 lead. Even after being outgained 148 yards to minus-14 while falling behind by three TDs in the first 10 minutes of the third quarter, Evans rallied his team to make a game of it in the fourth quarter.DISQUALIFIEDClemson LB Dorian ODaniel was ejected in the opening quarter after being penalized for targeting on a high hit on Virginia Tech RB Sam Rogers, who was dropped for no gain on a pass reception. The call, along with Terrell Edmunds 20-yard reception on a fake punt play and a 15-yard pass interference penalty against Tankersley, fueled the Hokies first scoring drive, a 12-play, 77-yard march that McMillian finished his TD run.UP NEXT:Clemson: Awaits official word on a berth and seeding in the CFP, which begins with the national semifinals on Dec. 31.Virginia Tech: Will travel to a bowl game hoping to finish its season under Fuente with 10 wins for the first time since 2011. Fuente also would become the first coach in school history to win 10 games in his first season leading the Hokies.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25.
