Jimmy Bartels AFL preliminary final fate remains uncertain, with Geelong coach Chris Scott saying they are yet to settle on their team for Friday nights clash against Sydney.Teammate Harry Taylor praised Bartels ability to stand tall in the biggest of matches amid suggestions the veteran midfielder could be a shock omission for the match.While Scott confirmed on Monday night that defender Lachie Henderson is available, he added several other players out of the side had also benefited from Geelongs weekend off.Henderson missed the epic qualifying final win over Hawthorn because of knee surgery.Scott said Nakia Cockatoo, Jed Bews, Shane Kersten and Darcy Lang - who all missed the Hawks game - were better for not playing last weekend.We dont have an answer on our 22 right at the moment, but its positive that we do have options, Scott told AFL360.So the week off has helped in that respect.I know theres going to be some conjecture as to whether the extra week off is a good thing or not and even after the game, I dont think well know for sure.But one thing we do know is some of our guys who have had little, niggling injuries are better for it.Lachie will be available ... we still have a few things to work through.Assuming Henderson plays, Josh Cowan or Tom Ruggles will make way.But there is also speculation Bartel could be dropped.The veteran of 304 matches is likely to retire after this season.Overlooking the 32-year-old Bartel - whose long list of honours include the 2007 Brownlow Medal and the 2011 Norm Smith Medal as best afield in the Cats most recent premiership triumph - would be a huge call.Hes a very, very handy player to have in the big games, Taylor said on Monday.He brings a lot of experience to our footy club on the training track and in games as well.His record in finals is very, very good.Taylor expects stoic backman Tom Lonergan to again get first crack at superstar Sydney forward Lance Franklin, who kicked four crucial goals in the semi-final victory over Adelaide.Thats more than likely but I can also play on him and (Henderson) can have a go as well, Taylor said.Weve got a few other different options but I dont think its going to take (only) one person to shut him down.Taylor warned of the danger of Geelong becoming too Buddy-centric, with Sydney having plenty of other dangerous forwards.Tom Papley matched Franklins four-goal haul against the Crows and Isaac Heeney was one of the best players on the ground.Ruck-forward Kurt Tippett is also likely to return from a broken jaw suffered in the opening week of the finals against Greater Western Sydney.We need to look at their forward line as a collective, particularly how they all work together, Taylor said.Authentic Nike Free Run NZ .

The Canadian Soccer Association said Wednesday the suspension includes prohibiting Quebec teams from participating in or hosting interprovincial matches and national competitions -- such as all-star games and the Canadian championships. The national soccer body also said the suspension prevents Quebec clubs from competing in or hosting international matches and forbids them from having national or international referees officiate their games. Quebecs federation would also be blocked from participating in or benefiting from international soccer clinics, CSA meetings and its disciplinary hearings. "It is with regret that the Canadian Soccer Association recognizes that the Quebec Soccer Federation suspension will, in the short term, affect a number of players and clubs," the organization said in the release. "The association remains committed to resolving this issue for the long-term growth and development of the sport of soccer in Canada." One Ottawa reporter tweeted that his sons soccer team has withdrawn from a Montreal tournament this weekend because of the suspension. The discipline was handed down this week after the Quebec organization showed no sign of reversing its decision to ban Sikh religious headgear on the pitch. The CSA said the suspension will be lifted once the Quebec federation has confirmed in writing that it has overturned its decision to prevent turbans, patkas and keskis from being worn during organized soccer games. The CSA statement noted that, according to its bylaws, "discrimination of any kind against country, private person or group of people on account of ethnic origin, gender, language, religion, politics or any other reasons is strictly prohibited and punishable by suspension or expulsion." Earlier on Wednesday, before the CSAs statement was released, Quebec federation officials said the controversial ban would remain in effect for the time being but that they would do everything possible to re-establish dialogue with the CSA. The provincial body decided to uphold the ban recently despite a CSA directive in April that called for provincial associations to extend an existing rule that allows Islamic hijabs for girls. Quebec is the only province that has balked at the directive and says it wants soccers governing body, the Federation Internationale de Football Association (FIFA), to issue a ruling on turbans. The Quebec federation has said it made its decision with player safety in mind, although it has no evidence that shows turbans pose a risk.dddddddddddd As a result, the provinces referees began cracking down in the last year on the headgear. A provincial soccer official said recently that kids who wear the banned clothing can "play in their backyard." The Sikh community says the ban means 100 to 200 children must either ditch a religious requirement or quit playing organized soccer. Quebec Premier Pauline Marois said this week that its unacceptable for the Canadian body to suspend the organization and called the QSF "autonomous," even though the CSA reports directly to FIFA and is responsible for granting or revoking the membership of provincial federations. The provinces sports minister, Marie Malavoy, repeated that line on Wednesday, saying the government supports the provincial federation to do what it thinks is right. Malavoy said neither the government nor any of its arms-length bodies were involved in the soccer federations operations. The Quebec federation said Wednesday it wouldnt grant any interviews. "To give every possible opportunity for discussion, we do not wish to comment further on the situation, whether in the media or in public," the statement said. "We hope for the fastest possible resolution to this impasse." An official with the Canada Games Council, the rights holder for the Canada Summer Games, said he doesnt believe the suspension will affect this years competition, which will be held Aug. 2-17 in Sherbrooke, Que. Patrick Kenny noted that Team Quebec had already registered two soccer teams -- a male and a female team in the U-18 category. "Weve received nothing from Quebec or Canadian Soccer saying that this ban now affects us," Kenny said in an interview after the CSA had released its statement. "Were definitely moving ahead. We havent heard from anyone that theyre absolutely out." The Summer Games are supported by both the federal and the Quebec governments In Ottawa, Bal Gosal, the federal minister of state for sport, said both sides -- the Canadian and the provincial bodies -- are talking to each other. "Ill let them have that conversation and hopefully, they will you know, let these kids play, he told reporters Wednesday. "I mean thats very important for all kids to play soccer." Gosal would not comment when asked if he thought that Marois had turned the controversy into a political issue. He said he remained optimistic the Canadian and provincial soccer bodies would work out a deal. "Theyre having a dialogue and Im pretty up -- you know pretty sure they will come to a consensus," Gosal said. ' ' '
