Hawthorn have been bolstered by the return of star forward Cyril Rioli for Thursday nights AFL clash with Port Adelaide.The Hawks are coming off their bye but welcome back Rioli after he missed their round-14 win over Gold Coast to attend the funeral of his grandfather in the Northern Territory.He replaces Daniel Howe who was dropped from the side that will be looking to cement its hold on top spot on the AFL ladder against the Power at Adelaide Oval.Howe is an emergency along with Brendan Whitecross and Angus Litherland.Port impressed in their 38-point defeat of Richmond last week and coach Ken Hinkley stuck with the same lineup despite some strong performances at SANFL level.Well reward a winning team, well go in unchanged, Hinkley said.Last week we had a significant result from stoppages with the boys we had out there - wed expect that hopefully they can give us the same result this week.John Butcher, Paul Stewart and Sam Gray are the emergencies for the ninth-placed Power, who must find a way to upset the Hawks to keep their slim finals chances alive.Anthony Davis Pelicans Jersey .

Manuel was offered a position the day he was fired. He accepted earlier this week and the team made the announcement Friday.CLEVELAND -- Joe Flacco squinted, did a double-take and rubbed his eyes.As he prepared for this Sundays game, the Ravens quarterback looked intently at video of Clevelands young defense and wasnt sure who he was watching.Most of the Browns hes beaten over the years are long gone.I dont recognize a lot of the guys over there, to be honest with you, he said. So it is kind of funny that we are going in there and it seems like a pretty new group.Back from a knee injury that cost him most of last season, Flacco will have his first encounter this week with the baby Browns, who have 17 rookies on their roster and are in the early stages of a massive makeover.Flacco has owned Cleveland during his career, posting a 13-2 record while throwing 19 touchdown passes, his most against any opponent. But those came against a very different team than the fresh-faced squad hell face in his first road game of 2016. At first glance, Flacco is impressed with Clevelands new-look defense.They play hard and they play fast, said Flacco, who passed for 258 yards and a score in last weeks win over Buffalo. You can tell that they are really trying to teach these guys how to run after the ball and have a nonstop motor. They have a lot of good young guys that can get to the passer and do a good job in a lot of those things so it will be interesting.I recognize (cornerback) Joe Haden and there is not much more that you really are used to seeing over there, so its kind of funny.Nobody in Cleveland is amused.The Browns (0-1) are already in scramble mode after losing quarterback Robert Griffin III for eight games -- any maybe more -- with a broken bone in his left shoulder. Josh McCown, who torched the Ravens for 457 yards in a win last season, has taken over Clevelands offense, which sputtered and produced just 10 points in losing the opener.McCown showed last season hes capable of big games and the Browns will likely need one to keep pace with Flacco, who could have a field day against Clevelands raw secondary.Browns coach Hue Jackson is hoping some of his pass rushers get close enough to introduce themselves to Flacco.I hope he gets to know some of the other guys here by Sunday, up close and personal possibly, he said.Here are some other things to keep in mind as the Ravens look for their 15th win in 17 games against Cleveland:HUE KIDDING ME? Litttle has changed -- so far -- for the Browns under Jackson.dddddddddddd The coach understands the frustration Cleveland fans feel for their beloved team, stuck in a cycle of misery for years. Hes pledged change.The fans might not like me for a while, but theyre going to love me here pretty soon, he said. Eventually they will love me, I promise you that. Because I do plan on winning here. I know with every loss theres another dagger that drags you down another few feet deeper. Im a fighter. Were going to get back up and were going to keep swinging.Were going to win a championship here for the Cleveland Browns.WATCH OUT: Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs projects plenty of trickery from Jackson, Baltimores quarterbacks coach in 2008-9.Were expecting Hue to throw the kitchen sink at us, Suggs said. Were preparing for everything. Some wildcat, polecat, everything. Dont be surprised if they come out there with that `Little Giants formation or the Flying V. Theyve got something up their sleeve. Weve just got to be able to prepare for it and react to it.BACKUP BACKUP PLAN: Griffins injury and McCowns return to the lineup leaves the Browns with rookie Cody Kessler as their new backup.A third-round pick, Kessler struggled during the exhibition season when he appeared overwhelmed and overmatched. If McCown got hurt, Browns wide receiver Terrelle Pryor could be an option.We have a plan in place in case we needed a third quarterback, Jackson said without pinpointing Pryor, who started nine games at QB for Oakland in 2013. I got a pretty good one on the roster. I just stashed him away a little bit. He is doing other things.MULTIPLE TARGETS: Flacco connected with 10 receivers last week. The way coach John Harbaugh sees it, the more threats, the better.Its good to be able to spread the ball around, he said, noting that Steve Smith drew double coverage on Baltimores only TD last week, a 66-yarder to Mike Wallace.QB CAROUSEL: According to Elias, the Browns streak of using at least two quarterbacks in 15 consecutive seasons is the leagues longest since the 1970 merger.--AP NFL websites: http://pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL---AP Sports Writer David Ginsburg in Baltimore contributed to this report.
