SUNDERLAND, England -- Sunderland moved off the bottom of the English Premier League after beating Watford 1-0 on Saturday.Patrick van Aanholt scored four minutes into the second half, and Sunderland earned its fourth league win in seven games.A poor and quiet first half by Sunderland was instantly forgotten after halftime when Adnan Januzaj fed Jermain Defoe on the run, and the striker crossed to Van Aanholt, who shrugged off Watford defender Christian Kabasele and tucked the ball in off the far post.Troy Deeney and Odion Ighalo were constantly threatening for Watford, especially in the first half, but the visitors fell to a fourth defeat in five games.

The designation was released Monday after the deadline passed for NFL teams to use franchise or transition tags on players becoming free agents. Wholesale Senators Jerseys .

It is the year that Australian football went mad. Tell anyone a fortnight ago that mighty Hawthorn were to trade out Sam Mitchell and Jordan Lewis, first and second in Crimmins Medal voting in 2016, for a few pieces of silver in the form of draft picks, and you would have been certified.The fans did not even have the chance to say goodbye to a couple of iconic, multiple premiership heroes, so little wonder many of them are shifting about uncomfortably as the AFLs trade period winds to its end.Meanwhile Alastair Clarkson, the Hawthorn coach, has some explaining to do, a point the debate will inevitably reach. Hawthorn have been nothing if not pragmatic and upfront, clearly identifying their list was well off the pace in 2016, despite the top-four finish, and that changes were needed to make room for Jaeger OMeara, Tom Mitchell and Ty Vickery to join the club.But it has shaken the game to its core.Now for perspective: this is part of professional sport. Ask the Adelaide folk how they felt about Patrick Dangerfield winning a Brownlow Medal in blue and white this year, for instance, and that is before you even consider the rest of the world. In truth, we are miles behind the English Premier League or the American professional sports for levels of callous moving of players, although that is the direction we may well take.Is it actually good for footy to see Mitchell, king of the nifty sidestep and slick handball, and Lewis, the bulldozing left-footer, leave a club like Hawthorn? Surely not. Was it good for the game that Steve Johnson, James Kelly and Paul Chapman, Geelongs premiership superstars, had to play out their careers elsewhere when the Cats went in a different direction, or that Jimmy Bartel will be pushed into retirement this week, just as Brent Harvey was by North Melbourne?It is the $10 million salary cap that causes the issue, along with the widely-held belief that success in the AFL comes around in cycles. As Scott Watters, the former St Kilda coach, observed this week, any player now knows he is at the whim of the cycle. ANY player indeed, if you remember that Mitchell is an all-time greaat Hawthorn and AFL player, a walk-up Hall-of-Famer.ddddddddddddBut there is a solution right before the AFLs eyes, a feel-good compromise that has been tried before. The veterans list was a fabulous rule introduced a few years ago, initially allowing clubs to nominate one long-term player on their lists so only half of his salary was included in the cap, then tweaked over time to allow an unlimited number of veterans, then watered down more recently so that clubs only have to include a percentage of their salary in their total player payments figures.Instead of diluting this rule, the AFL could have made it stronger, more definitive. It is the rule that might stop us heading down the path of the big professional sports elsewhere, for just because something happens in another country does not make it right. We dont want Moneyball; we dont want players dehumanised, and clubs that draw zero loyalty from their employees.Twelve year, one-club players should have their salaries excluded from the salary cap as iconic players. This would mean, for instance at Hawthorn, that Mitchell, Lewis and Luke Hodge would not be under the scrutiny they have been under this year. Their salaries would be outside the cap and it would at least give a Hawthorn the chance to ride out the end of those great careers.There would be no real advantage to a club with a cluster of great veterans because if they hold on too long, they run the risk of failing to regenerate the list. But at least it gives them a chance to provide something of a farewell tour for their greatest players, for the fans to wave goodbye.Footy is not a business, despite what people say. Its like a business, but in business, your aim is profit, and your ambition is to crush the opposition and create a monopoly. In footy, everyone needs opposition to play against, no matter how bitter the rivalries.There must be room for romance, an explanation for the kid with the No. 5 Sam Mitchell guernsey who cannot work it all out this week.
