Injury-plagued Brisbane youngster Jaden McGrath has left the Lions, saying he no longer has the desire to play AFL.The 20-year-old has been released from his contract which expired at the end of the 2018 season.In 2015, McGrath signed a two season extension with Brisbane.Barely a year later McGrath - from Kerang in country Victoria - said he had lost his motivation after a horror injury run.Its a difficult choice to make but I want to be honest with myself and with the club - and I just dont have the desire to continue at the elite level, said McGrath.Football is something I love and I want to get back to a place where I can enjoy the game again.Id like to thank my family and friends for all their support, and the club for giving me an opportunity to have a crack at AFL footy.McGrath played the first three games of his debut 2015 AFL season before being diagnosed with a foot stress injury.He was sidelined for the rest of the year.McGrath still earned a contract extension last December but more injury setbacks limited him to just two second-tier NEAFL games this year.We really appreciate Jadens honesty and as a club we are committed to support him as he settles into life outside football, Lions football general manager David Noble said.Vapormax Clearance .

The sport moved a step closer to returning to South Florida on Wednesday, when Beckham confirmed he has exercised his option to purchase a Major League Soccer expansion franchise in Miami.CLEVELAND -- There wasnt a bench-clearing brawl.That is about the only thing that didnt happen during seven tense, theatric and highly entertaining regular-season games between the Toronto Blue Jays and Indians, who will renew acquaintances when the AL Championship Series opens on Friday night at Progressive Field.If Octobers drama is anything close to what it was like between the clubs in July and August, buckle up.Their previous matchups included a 19-inning marathon on July 1 in Toronto and a walk-off Indians win on Aug. 19 on back-to-back homers in the ninth inning, the second an inside-the-park shot that turned rookie Tyler Naquin into a local legend.I was watching on TV, said Blue Jays slugger Jose Bautista, who was rehabbing a sprained left knee in Florida and missed Torontos series in Cleveland. There were some games that were obviously close that had some quirky plays in them.The Indians, who swept Boston in the AL Division Series after a season filled with injuries, start Corey Kluber in Game 1 against Torontos Marco Estrada.Kluber was magnificent in his postseason debut, holding the Red Sox to three hits in seven shutout innings in Game 2 of the ALDS. The right-hander, who injured a quadriceps late in the season, will have to be on his game against the Blue Jays, who hit eight home runs in their sweep of Texas and feature a lineup with danger from top to bottom.Theyre a solid lineup, one through nine, said Kluber, tagged for five runs and seven hits in 3 1/3 innings against Toronto on July 3. Its not just two, three, four guys that can hurt you. Everybody in that lineup can hurt you. They have a lot of power, but theyre also patient. You have to go out there and execute pitches. Theres not really a magic formula. Just like what we asked about with Boston, its not a magic formula, theyre just a really good offense. We all have our work cut out for us.That was the case on Canada Day, when the Indians and Blue Jays slugged it out in Rogers Centre for more than six hours before Cleveland escaped with a 2-1 win.Indians manager Terry Francona, whose bullpen touch was on display against the Red Sox, brought in starter Trevor Bauer, who was scheduled to pitch the following day, and the rubber-armed right-hander responded with five shutout innings.The victory capped a franchise-record, 14-game winning streak for the Indians, and although it may have sapped them physically, the win had a positive effect.Anytime youree in a game like that, you always want to win a game from the first inning, said closer Cody Allen.dddddddddddd But when youre playing extra ball, youre like, `Lets figure out a way to win. And when we did it was like, `Man, if we can figure out a way to win that game, we can win any game.Blue Jays shortstop Troy Tulowitzki said the game was a test of endurance.I felt like I was out there at shortstop forever, he said. We were using position players to pitch. That game stands out because it shows how evenly matched we are. Every game was close. They walked us off and you remember that because youre walking into the dugout saying, `Man, we had that one. And you hear the Indians people saying theyve been doing that all year, so theres a lot of story lines for this series. Its the two best teams to me.The Blue Jays have been in playoff mode for weeks. They battled their way to a wild-card berth and beat Baltimore in the one-game playoff, riding a sonic wave from their rambunctious home crowd and three-run homer from Edwin Encarnacion into a matchup with the Rangers, the team they traded punches with earlier in the season and knocked out with a flurry of long balls to advance to the ALCS.Now, theyll square off with the Indians, a team that may lack marquee names but not confidence.They have their strengths and weaknesses, Bautista said. And so do we. As long as everybody executes and excels at what theyre good at, its going to be a tough series for either opponent to come out on top. Well see what happens. Theyre a speed-and-base-hit club and were a walk-and-home-run club. Its going to be a pretty good series, I believe.If the first seven games were any indication, believe.LIRIANO SET: Blue Jays reliever Francisco Liriano has recovered from the concussion he received when he was struck on the back of the head by a comebacker in the ALDS.Hes expected to be cleared from the concussion protocol on Friday in time for Game 1.Hes got a chance to be a valuable guy to us if hes healthy, manager John Gibbons said.PRIZE POSSESSION: Several of the Indians players posed in the clubhouse for pictures with the Larry OBrien Trophy, won by the NBAs Cleveland Cavaliers in June. The championship was the first for a Cleveland team since 1964 and the Indians are trying to end a World Series drought dating to 1948. ' ' '
