Brisbane Roar coach John Aloisi has put on another stoic front as the A-League club kicked off pre-season training against a backdrop of more off-field uncertainty and ownership issues.Twelve months on since he first took over as coach in the middle of a financial crisis, Aloisi has again urged his players- to keep their mind on the job.What happens in the background or the office or upstairs, the players need to make sure they come prepared to train and improve. Theres no real disruption with us, Aloisi told reporters on Monday.The Roar trained at Griffith University on Monday in their first session together ahead of the 2016-17 campaign.Aloisi confirmed the Roar will return to their old headquarters, Ballymore, in the coming weeks as prospective owner Daniel Cobb completes the purchase of the club from the Bakrie Group.On Aloisis first day in the job last year, the Roar were evicted from Ballymore due to unpaid rent and were later taken to court by the Queensland Rugby Union.But the arrival of Cobb and his consortium appears to have changed the dynamics in Brisbane.Nothing is certain until the sale is officially ratified by Football Federation Australia, but Aloisi said he was so far pleased with the clubs new bosses.Midfield signing Jacob Pepper was the only new face at training, but the Roar is still in the market for further reinforcements in attack and in the middle of the park.However, dont expect either of Brisbanes two vacant import spots to be filled anytime soon.We didnt get Corona in until two weeks before the start of the season, and he won our best player (award), Aloisi said.We know sometimes it might take a little bit longer. Things move, things happen during an off-season that you cant control, but you cant panic.Luke DeVere was also fully involved and is expected to play a huge part in Brisbanes season, putting paid to recent reports he was considering retirement due to recurring injuries.

In that game, Zdeno Chara put a check on Tommy Wingels that clearly targeted his head. Jusuf Nurkic Jersey . -- Mike Smith never saw his first NHL goal go in. SAN DIEGO -- It appears Petco Park is going to have a hard time holding Hunter Renfroe.The rookie hit his first career grand slam and also had a three-run shot to drive in all the runs for the San Diego Padres in their 7-1 victory against the NL West champion Los Angeles Dodgers on Tuesday night.The Dodgers fell two games behind the NL East champion Washington Nationals for home-field advantage in their Division Series matchup.Renfroe says hes felt comfortable at the big downtown ballyard since his first big league plate appearance Wednesday night, when he was intentionally walked.Since then hes hit three impressive home runs, including his first one off San Francisco ace Madison Bumgarner on Friday night.Im very comfortable, said Renfroe, San Diegos first-round pick in the 2013 draft and this years Pacific Coast League MVP.He hit a high, arcing three-run homer to left field off Kenta Maeda with two outs in the first inning. Renfroes grand slam to straightaway center came on a full-count pitch from Louis Coleman with two outs in the eighth. Renfroe has three homers in six games.Padres manager Andy Green said Renfroes grand slam, which came on a fastball after he fouled off several sliders, was about as hard as Ive seen a baseball hit all year.Hunter Renfroe is going to be a dynamic player at this level when he stays in the strike zone, Green said. Theres really no other message for him or about him. He can hit anything. He just has to get him over the plate. When he does that, its as much damage as anybody would have.Renfroes seven RBI were one shy of the team record.The rookie said hes keeping things in perspective.One of the big things is you cant think of it as more than what it is, he said. Its a game. Youve been playing it since youre 4 years old or what have you. You cant think of it more than that. Its just on a bigger stage and more fans and everything is kind of magnified. You cant think too much in it. You cant be afraid to fail.Dodgers rookie manager Dave Roberts was on the Padres staff the last several years, so he knows about RenfroeHes got big power, Roberts said. We left some ballls out over the plate and elevated to him, and do that with a power hitter and that can happen.dddddddddddd He had a big day.Maeda had faced the Padres three times earlier this year, but they have a lot of new players since his last start against San Diego on July 10.It wasnt miscommunication as much as it was facing these new hitters and I wasnt familiar with them, he said through a translator.Maeda (16-10), who beat the Padres 7-0 at Petco Park in his big league debut on April 6, had his start moved up one day so hell get another one before the playoffs begin.Paul Clemens (4-5) held the Dodgers to one run and three hits in five innings. He struck out two and walked one.Chase Utley homered for the Dodgers in the third, his 13th.TV SURPRISESome Padres fans were surprised when a spokesman for the San Diego Chargers was interviewed on the Fox Sports San Diego broadcast early in the game. Fox executive Henry Ford said the Chargers spokesman, Fred Maas, was a guest of the network. His appearance in no way reflects a position or endorsement by the Padres, nor FOX Sports, Ford said in an email. Padres management was not given advance notice of his appearance, and we apologize for any confusion this may have caused. While the Padres have said they want to see the Chargers stay in San Diego, they say they havent been given adequate answers to several questions about how a new downtown stadium would affect Petco Park. The Chargers will ask voters on Nov. 8 to approve a hotel tax increase to help pay for a new stadium and convention center annex that would be close to Petco Park.TRAINERS ROOMDodgers: 1B Adrian Gonzalez left the game with a sinus infection.
