Selfless on the field and off it, you wont find Heath Grundy or any of Sydneys back six claiming credit for helping their side become the AFLs stingiest.Many factors have led to the Swans reaching Saturdays grand final but their defence has been immense.The minor premiers have conceded a league-best average of 9.6 goals this season.Grundy has led the way, regularly taking the oppositions most potent forward.The pressure up the ground from our forwards has a massive influence on how we go, so you cant just put it down to the back six, Grundy told AAP.Its the midfield, forwards and defenders all working together. Weve been good this year but weve got to come ready to go this weekend.The Western Bulldogs have got a variety of different avenues to goal and the way they use the ball is pretty hard to stop.The speed and precision at which the Bulldogs are capable of moving the ball has gotten the better of many sides this year.The Bulldogs lack a behemoth key forward in the mould of Taylor Walker or Tom Hawkins, who the Swans kept quiet in recent knock-out final wins over Adelaide and Geelong.But their forward line is nonetheless potent and there will be plenty of threats that Grundy, Dane Rampe, Nick Smith and their cohort will have to manage at the MCG.We havent come up against (a forward line like the Bulldogs) in the last couple of weeks. The thing with them is theyre all so dangerous, whether it Jake Stringer, Tory Dickson or anyone else, Rampe said.Theyve also got a lot of mids that come forward, Marcus Bontempelli can play as a tall.Their versatility is key to their game and you never feel safe against them in the defensive 50m, just becasue theyre constantly flicking it around.Stringer failed to fire in the Bulldogs epic preliminary final but Rampe, who has spent time on the star forward in the past, knows he boasts all the skills to be a match-winner on Saturday.Hes both strong and very quick, agile ... and if hes not getting near it in the first half he can still light it up after halftime and make you pay, Rampe said.

PHILADELPHIA -- A second petition has been filed asking the U.S. Supreme Court to reject the $1 billion settlement of NFL concussion lawsuits because of how it treats current brain injuries versus future ones.The former players who filed the petition complain that chronic traumatic encephalopathy diagnosed before the April 2015 cutoff can bring $4 million while future CTE diagnoses arent compensated. They say that violates Supreme Court rulings that insist each subgroup in a class action settlement be treated fairly.The petition, filed Monday, echoes earlier complaints that the lead players lawyers signed a quick deal with the NFL in 2013 favoring their clients over thousands of others.Lawyers on the Plaintiffs Steering Committee, who negotiated the deal, reject those arguments and say the appeals are holding up payments that ailing retirees need. The NFL declined to comment on Wednesday.The 31 petitioners include a number of men who played for the Dallas Cowboys, including 1996 Super Bowl MVP Larry Brown and Hall of Famer Charles Haley.Their lawyer, Deepak Gupta, said the Supreme Court had not reviewed a case involving the disparate treatment of class action subgroups in about 20 years. Meanwhile, he said, the federal appeals court in Philadelphia that upheld the NFL settlement has a different view of the issue than its counterpart in New York. That could pique the Supreme Courts interest.According to the petition, the family of former Chicago Bears safety Dave Duerson, who was found to have CTE after his 2011 suicide, can seek an award of up to $4 million while the family of former Oakland Raiders quarterback Ken Stabler, whose CTE was diagnosed after his July 2015 death, cannot.CTE, a degenerative diseasee found in people whove suffered severe hits to their heads or repeated concussions such as boxers and other athletes, currently can be diagnosed only at autopsy, although scientists hope to diagnose it in the living within the next decade.ddddddddddddThe settlement covers future cases of Alzheimers disease, Parkinsons disease, Lou Gehrigs disease and dementia but not CTE.Seeking to head off a tsunami of future claims, Gupta wrote in the petition, the NFL pushed for a global settlement of all current and future claims -- while compensating only current CTE claims.Supporters of the settlement say it compensates future cases of dementia. But the payout for dementia is expected to average $190,000, compared with $1.44 million for CTE, the petition said. Gupta and other critics also complain the plan does not compensate the depression, mood swings and memory loss they consider precursors to dementia and a CTE diagnosis.It could be months before the Supreme Court decides whether to hear the case. The earlier petition was filed by the family of former Buffalo Bills fullback Carlton Cookie Gilchrist.The Plaintiffs Steering Committee lawyers on Wednesday pointed to the 3rd U.S. Circuit decision that found the award scheme fair, reasonable and adequate.The settlement would resolve thousands of lawsuits that accuse the NFL of hiding what it knew about the risks of football concussions. The settlement, overseen by Senior U.S. District Judge Anita B. Brody, is designed to cover about 21,000 retirees for 65 years. About 9,000 of them have signed up for information, the plaintiffs lawyers said. ' ' '
