Essendon look increasingly likely to retain the No.1 pick in this years AFL draft as they hunt for a midfielder who can provide them with an immediate boost.The Bombers will go into Mondays trade period with open minds but list manager Adrian Dodoro says they are a long-shot to trade their top selection given the depth of talent in this years draft.It probably wont happen, he said on Saturday.Theres been clubs that have asked about it but at this point theres been no serious offers.Well consider anything but I think our focus at the moment is concentrating on evaluating the talent thats here and putting it in the order that we want to take.Classy onballer Hugh McCluggage is widely rated as the player likely to go first in the draft after an outstanding under-18 season and has said he would be happy to join the Bombers, who finished last this season after losing 12 players to doping bans.Essendon intend to take a midfielder with their top selection and are confident whoever they choose will make an immediate impact and be versatile enough to play in multiple positions.Dodoro says the Bombers will keep their cards close to their chest ahead of the trade period but ruled out any interest in Richmond star Brett Deledio, whose future has been the subject of persistent speculation.He declined to say whether the club would consider trying to lure Brisbanes Tom Rockliff or Pearce Hanley but played down the prospects of a potential trade for West Coast key defenders Eric Mackenzie and Mitch Brown.The pair, who have fallen out of West Coasts best 22, were identified as potential trade targets by Essendon coach John Worsfold, who coached them during his time at the Eagles.In fairness to John, I think he mentioned those before Michael Hurley had committed to the club, Dodoro said.Weve got Hurley, (Cale) Hooker coming back, who are All-Australian key defenders, so I think were pretty well-stocked for key defensive players.Dodoro said he expected defender Michael Hibberds trade to Melbourne would be fairly straightforward, with the cost likely to be a second-round draft pick.

RIO DE JANEIRO -- After controversy almost kept the United States womens 4x100-meter relay team out of Fridays final, the group instead was able to defend its Olympic title.The team of Tianna Bartoletta, Allyson Felix, English Gardner and Tori Bowie finished first to win the gold medal, followed by Jamaica and Great Britain.The gold is Felixs fifth, the most of any U.S. female track star in history.The Americans, who needed to set a qualifying time in a solo rerun hours after dropping the baton in Thursdays preliminaries and getting a second chance on protest, won the final in 41.01 seconds.The Jamaican team that featured Elain Thompson?and Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce was second in 41.36. Britain won bronze in a national-record 41.77.As so often, Felixs celebrations were mostly muted, but her smile told it all. She had been through injury, the inability to defend her 200-meter title because she didnt qualify at the U.S. trials and a near disqualification in the relay heats.Adversity sometimes makes you stronger, she said. Weve each had a rocky road to get here, and we came together to win the gold.It was an impressive comeback after near disaster on Thursday, when Felix dropped the baton after being bumped by a Brazilian runner. That led to the rerun, and the Americans qualified fastest, taking the place of China in the final.ddddddddddddThe drawback was they were given the worst lane of all, Lane 1, which has the tightest corners and usually impedes top speed.It didnt bother them.Felix ran the second leg for the Americans, the same section as 100- and 200-meter gold medalist Thompson, and passed to Gardner, who ran a powerful curve to give her team the lead.Bowie ran the anchor leg and held off Fraser-Pryce as the Americans only narrowly missed the world record.Bartoletta was already waiting for Bowie for a wild embrace and to celebrate the second-fastest time in history behind the world record that Felix & Co. set in winning gold at the London Games.?For Bartoletta, it was her second gold in Rio, after she also won the long jump.Felix entered the Games as one of just six women to have won four golds in track and field. At the same time, silver for Jamaica allowed Veronica Campbell-Brown to win a medal at a fifth Olympics dating back to the 2000 Sydney Games.Information from The Associated Press was used in this report.
