Heres something that will scare the life out of the AFLs best ruckmen - Nic Naitanui has boosted his trademark big leap after losing 3kg during his injury lay-off.Naitanui has missed the past six games after undergoing surgery to relieve Achilles tendon pain, but the West Coast star will return in Sundays western derby against Fremantle at Domain Stadium.Eagles coach Adam Simpson says although Naitanuis leap is bigger than before, the team cant rely on him to be their saviour.West Coasts form has been patchy during Naitanuis absence, with last weeks upset loss to Collingwood putting a huge dent in their top-four hopes.Naitanui started the season in sizzling fashion.But his output started to wane as the pain from his Achilles tendon got worse.The 26-year-old was even reduced to using crutches after some games in a bid to ease the inflammation around the area.Naitanui eventually bit the bullet and had the plantaris tendon removed from each foot in a bid to avoid any future Achilles pain.And after losing weight and increasing the strength in his calves, Naitanui has surprised Eagles ruck coach Dean Cox with the size of his leap.I think it might have increased a little bit, Simpson said on Thursday.Losing a bit of weight and (being) pain-free, you can imagine what he can do.Its really exciting for him and the club.He almost put his foot through Coxys nose at training last week, so it probably told us hes ready to go.Naitanuis minutes will be limited against the Dockers as the Eagles ease him back to full match fitness.West Coasts midfield looked one-dimensional during Naitanuis absence.But Simpson knows the inclusion of Naitanui wont fix all of his sides woes.You want your good players playing, and hes a game-changer at his best, Simpson said.But to think hes going to be the saviour - I think its a stretch. If we have to rely on one player, that probably shows youve got a bit of work to do.West Coast sit one win adrift of fourth spot following last weeks shock loss to Collingwood.And with tough games against GWS (away), Hawthorn (home), and Adelaide (away) to come, the Eagles will need a major form reversal if they are to get themselves back into premiership contention.Fremantle also received a big boost on the selection front this week, with ruckman Aaron Sandilands and goal-sneak Hayden Ballantyne both set to return.Sandilands hasnt played since suffering a punctured lung and broken ribs during a marking collision with Naitanui in round three.Ballantyne has missed the past two games because of a fractured cheekbone.Sandilands has a history of performing strongly following long lay-offs.The 211cm ruckman tallied 18 disposals and 33 hit-outs in a win over Richmond in 2012 after missing the previous nine rounds through injury.He came in and dominated, so were hopeful of that, Dockers coach Ross Lyon said.And Hayden will be fresh, so thatll be interesting.

Dan Ryan will become the second male coach in the new Australian national netball championship after being named coach of the Adelaide Thunderbirds.The 32-year-old follows NSW Swifts boss Robert Wright in becoming a head coach at the elite national level.Ryan, a former Australian mens netball captain, was an assistant coach at the Thunderbirds when they won the 2013 title.He will return to Adelaide next week, quitting his role as coach of Manchester Thunder in England, where he has also been working as a specialist coach of the English national team.My ability to connect, engage and really understand my athletes has always been a major strength of my coaching, Ryan said in a statement on Wednesday.I wouldd consider myself to be pretty demanding in regards to the level of quality and intensity I expect in a high-performance environment.dddddddddddd.I pride myself on bringing great passion and energy which I believe is critical in developing a thriving team culture and positive environment.The Thunderbirds parted with coach Michelle den Dekker midway through a disappointing just-completed season, where they finished last with just two wins.There is a lot of hard work ahead of us and we all need to be prepared to embrace that challenge to fight our way back to the top, Ryan said.
