Western Bulldogs AFL premiership player Joel Hamling has told the Dogs he wants to be traded to Fremantle.The move would see Hamling return to his home state after he was drafted by Geelong in 2011.The tall defender didnt play a game for the Cats and was delisted at the end of the 2014 season, but he made 23 senior appearances for the Bulldogs in the past two seasons after he signed as a delisted free agent.The 23-year-olds stocks rose during the Dogs stirring finals run, which culminated in the grand final win over Sydney in which he largely curbed the influence of Swans superstar Lance Franklin.Its great news ... I think Joels been considering coming back throughout the year and then obviously with the way the Bulldogs went clouded the decision a bit more, Dockers list manager Brad Lloyd told 6PR radio on Saturday.I presume hes agonised over the decision over recent weeks, but with the grand final celebrations its been more difficult to come to a decision.But hes indicated to us hed like to get back to Western Australia and play for Fremantle, which is fantastic news.The Dockers have been a major player in this AFL trade period, landing Cam McCarthy from Greater Western Sydney and Bradley Hill from Hawthorn.They also allowed 172-game veteran Chris Mayne to depart via free agency and the 27-year-old signed with Collingwood.Geelong forward Shane Kersten, also a Western Australian native and a good friend of Hamling, is set to fill Maynes spot in Fremantles attack.They both want to get to Fremantle so I think we can work through and get something done, for sure, Lloyd said.They are certainly best mates, theyre inseparable. Every time Ive spoken to one of them, the other ones been there.They came over to Perth during the week and had a bit of a look around. Wholesale Nike Shoes .

PHILADELPHIA -- The Washington Nationals continue to get a great return on the enormous investment they made in right-hander Max Scherzer before last season.Scherzer, signed to a seven-year, $210 million free-agent contract in January 2015, has been an All-Star each of his first two seasons with the Nationals.This year he is 14-7 with a 2.92 ERA while leading the National League with 227 strikeouts.He has been particularly effective of late, going 5-1 with a 2.36 ERA over nine starts heading into his outing against the Philadelphia Phillies on Tuesday night, in the middle game of a three-game series.The 32-year-old Scherzer spent five seasons with the Detroit Tigers before signing with Washington. He made the American League All-Star team the last two seasons with Detroit and earned the Cy Young Award in 2013, when he went 21-3 with a 2.90 ERA.Last year he went 14-12 with a 2.79 ERA for Washington, and fashioned a no-hitter against the Pittsburgh Pirates on June 20. He led the National League in starts (33), complete games (four) and shutouts (three).He added a 20-strikeout game against the Tigers on May 11 of this season. In 27 starts for the National League East leaders Scherzer has fanned 10 or more 11 times.He stuck out exactly 10 his last time out, while pitching eight shutout innings in an eventual 4-0 victory over Baltimore. He allowed two hits and didnt walk a batter.He had it from the opening pitch, Washington manager Dusty Baker said to MLB.com. Thats what aces do. He shut down a very high-powered offense. That wwas a masterful job by Max.ddddddddddddScherzer is 2-0 with a 2.57 ERA in three starts against Philadelphia this season. In his career has gone 6-1 with a 2.36 ERA against the Phillies.Right-hander Jerad Eickhoff (9-12, 3.87) is the scheduled starter for the Phillies, who were blanked 4-0 by Tanner Roark and two relievers in Mondays series opener.Eickhoff is 3-0 over his last four starts, despite a 5.04 ERA. His last time out he beat the Chicago White Sox, allowing two runs on four hits over six innings while striking out two. He didnt walk a batter.He has not faced Washington this season, but beat the Nats in his only career start against them, going seven innings and allowing two runs on five hits. He struck out 10, which matches his career high, and walked one.He will be looking to follow the lead of rookie right-hander Jake Thompson, who allowed two runs on seven hits over seven innings Monday. It was far and away the best outing to date for Thompson, who tweaked his delivery after pitching to a 9.78 ERA over his first four major league starts.It was night and day from my performance my first four that Ive had, he said. Its kind of a relief. It feels a lot better.Roark was even better, though, pitching seven shutout innings to improve to 14-7. His strong showing came after a rare poor outing his previous time out, against Baltimore.I kind of knew after the last one, hed respond, Baker said. ' ' '
