Melbourne midfielder Dom Tyson admits the Demons have a tough ask matching it with the AFLs form side Adelaide on Sunday.But the gun midfielder, who plays his 50th game for the club against the Crows, wants to know how Melbournes transformation is tracking.And theres no better test currently than the Crows, who have tallied a league-best five straight wins, including three victories over top eight sides.Adelaides red-hot month has had the twin effect of all but ensuring their own finals place and locking out several other sides.Melbourne are one of five clubs within distant sight of the top eight, entering round 15 three wins short of a finals position.It makes Sunday afternoons match the very last chance the Demons have to stake a claim in season 2016, and Tyson is up for the challenge.If we bring our best footy, if we give it a red hot shake for four quarters we can match it with them, he told AAP.No illusions. Itll be a tough contest.Were not performing at a high level that allows us to beat a top four side just yet.But the way we are improving it feels like were not far off being able to match it with the best sides.Theres no doubt Melbourne have taken strides this season but theyre without a top-eight scalp since a round one victory over GWS Giants.Against the unchanged Crows, Josh Wagner (knee), Clayton Oliver and Jack Trengove (both omitted) make way for Jeff Garlett, Matt Jones and James Harmes.Ahead of his milestone match, Tyson, 23, reflects fondly on his time with Melbourne even as his former club prepares for a maiden finals campaign.The No.2 draft pick is out of contract at the end of 2017, and like forward Jesse Hogan, gave the indication his future would depend on future leaps forward.Its been a good time for me since I crossed over, he said.Weve been progressing. Slowly initially but we now we have a list and a structure around to really push forward.Weve got some pretty lofty goals over the next two years. We feel like weve got the talent and need to work hard and deliver on game day. Brad Peacock Astros Jersey . "Thank you for the warm welcome," Beckham said on an 80-degree February morning.

OAKLAND, Calif. -- Kevin Durant wanted to look MVP Stephen Curry in the eye, meet Klay Thompson face to face, and find out for himself whether they truly wanted him as a teammate.The All-Star shooting tandem made it clear during a meeting last weekend that he would be a perfect fit with the Warriors.When I met these guys, I felt as comfortable as Ive ever felt. It was organic, it was authentic, it was real, Durant said. It was feelings I couldnt ignore.Splash! Golden State had a superstar cast.The Warriors formally announced the signing of the seven-time All-Star and four-time scoring champion on Thursday and introduced him with fanfare during a news conference at the teams downtown Oakland practice facility, where screens read, WELCOME KD TO DUB NATION.So, whats next? Seventy-four wins and a title? Golden States record-setting season with the best wins total ever of 73 ended without back-to-back championships.I havent made the decision yet, but he might start, NBA Coach of the Year Steve Kerr joked, sitting next to a smiling Durant. We lost in the Finals. We want to get better. We want to be better. You cant do any better than adding KD to the current crew.Kerr wont change his teams style with the addition of KD, whom the coach will count on as a brilliant passer and someone who can cut and do it all.Weve got as many or more playmakers on the floor as anybody, said Kerr, already planning his training camp strategy on the court and how to prepare his players for even further scrutiny.Durant might be able to match his coachs wit, too.When asked about Thompson being part of the pitch meeting, Durant quipped about receiving a text message from him: I didnt know he had a phone.Of Warriors assistant coach and former member of the Thunder staff Ron Adams, he said, Ron Adams was the only reason I came. They shared a big hug before Thursdays festivities.Durant announced his decision Monday in a story on The Players Tribune, then Thursday marked the first day free agents could sign their deals. He joins the NBA runner-up Warriors -- who rallied from a 3-1 deficit to beat Durants former Oklahoma City Thunder in a thrilling seven-game Western Conferennce Finals before losing the finals in seven games to Cleveland -- on a two-year contract worth more than $54 million.dddddddddddd There is a player option after the first year.Not that Durant plans to skip town after one season. Hes here to win a championship.You never expect to get this much better, general manager Bob Myers said. Ive admired Kevin as a basketball fan. ... Im just excited to watch you play. Im honored youre here, Im honored you chose us. Its a wonderful feeling.Durant even spoke to Hall of Famer Jerry West along the way to help him weigh his choice.I know its Jerry West and I know hes the `Logo, and youre expecting a sexier conversation, but it was more so about the team and how I could fit in and how great the coaching staff was, Durant said.Still, Durant went to bed Sunday torn and still uncertain about his choice, and he told his father and representatives he needed a night to sleep on it. Then he woke up first thing Monday with more clarity.He knew it would have been easy to go back to something youre comfortable with.This, he said, is the harder route -- It was time for me to try something new, try a new challenge. No better place to do it than here.Durant said former teammate Russell Westbrook took it hard.That call to Oklahoma City was the hardest thing Ive had to do in my life. Tears were shed. I trusted my gut, Durant said.We live in this superhero comic book world where either youre a villain or youre a superhero if youre in this position, and I know that, and I know I havent changed as a person. I dont treat people any differently because I made the decision to play basketball in another city. I understand the fans in Oklahoma City and basketball fans around the world are, I guess, upset. But like I said, I made the decision based upon what I wanted to do and how I felt, and its the best decision for me, so I cant really control how you feel.Ultimately for Durant, having fun for however many years he has left playing basketball is the plan.I just want to enjoy every single day of it.
