The AFLs decision to grant Greater Western Sydney a home final at Spotless Stadium has raised eyebrows, with Geelong and the Western Bulldogs saying they deserve the same right.GWS will host the September 24 preliminary final against either Hawthorn or the Western Bulldogs at their 24,000 capacity home venue.Geelong chief executive Brian Cook says the leagues decision is a game-changer which should pave the way for the Cats to play home finals at Simonds Stadium from 2017.The venues capacity will increase to 36,000 once an ongoing redevelopment is completed in May.Geelong will host their home preliminary final against either Sydney or Adelaide at the MCG but Cook said the Cats push to host more playoff matches at Simonds Stadium had been strengthened.We think if its good enough for GWS down at Spotless, its good enough for us down at Simonds, he told SEN Radio.Geelongs sole finals appearance at Simonds Stadium - a 2013 semi-final against Fremantle - was only scheduled there because the MCG was unavailable and it was against a non-Victorian team.Cook said the redeveloped Simonds Stadium would be suitable for finals against any opposition except for big-drawing Melbourne clubs such as Hawthorn and Collingwood.I think we would still probably need to play them in Melbourne, he said.But thats not an easy question to answer because there are a lot of our members who would say `play it in Geelongs because it gives us the best chance of making a grand final.We dont think theres any excuse for us not to host a final if we deserve one and earn it.The Western Bulldogs are keen to play home finals at Etihad Stadium after they were forced to host Adelaide at the MCG in the first week of last years playoffs.Veteran defender Matthew Boyd said the club had moved on from last years finals but admitted Etihad would have been a preferable venue.We would have liked to have played a home final last year at Etihad, obviously, earning the home final like we did, he said on Monday.Former Bulldogs captain Brad Johnson said he believed the AFL had been inconsistent in deciding where finals games should be played.Dogs didnt get Etihad against Adelaide last year for crowd, we had to go to MCG because its the best venue in the state, he told RSN927.

SIMONS ISLAND, Ga. KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Midway through this week, Alex Smith was still pondering the misfires that plagued the Kansas City Chiefs in their loss at Houston when he normally would be focused on the upcoming opponent.It was an unmistakable reminder of the enormous price of those missed opportunities.And just how rare they have been.Ive been thinking about it and Id be lying if I said I wasnt, Smith said.We havent had a day like that in a long time. I cant remember the last time. I was going through missed connections -- there were probably seven or eight of them and a lot of yards.Indeed, Smith completed just 20 of 37 passes in the 19-12 defeat, his worst completion percentage since Week 5 last season.But he was even worse when it came to his wide receivers, completing half of his 24 attempts to Jeremy Maclin, Chris Conley, Albert Wilson and Tyreek Hill.Most confounding about that statistic? Hes been working with all but Hill for more than a year, so it stands to reason the chemistry between quarterback and wide receiver should be better.There were a lot of missed connections, a lot of offense and a lot of plays that ultimately changed the day, Smith said.The games are fast, you get going and playing fast and youre not always 100 percent. There were certainly a lot of plays out there that we normally make.Take the 15 passes directed at Maclin, his most sure-handed wide receiver. Not only did Maclin drop a pass -- hes only dropped four the past two years combined -- but he only hauled in just six of them. Three of those completions came on the final drive, the game already out of reach.Two of the missed completions were on third down, scuttling potential drives.In fact, Smith dropped back to pass 11 times on third down last Sunday. One snap over his head resulted in a lost fumble, two more plays ended in sacks and two completions were shy of the first-down marker. Only twice did he hit for a first down, and just one of those was to a wide receiver.It was a big reason why Kansas City was just 3 off 14 on third downs, and why the Chiefs failed to score a touchdown.dddddddddddd They had to settle for four field goals from Cairo Santos.It wasnt necessarily accuracy, it was just being on the same page -- the wide receivers and quarterbacks on the same page, Chiefs coach Andy Reid said.Thats something I have to work with. If youre a hair off it can affect things. Thats why we practice so much.Practice can certainly help. But remember, Smith has been working with Maclin, Conley and Wilson the past two seasons, through two training camps and countless practices.I would definitely say its a fluke, Conley said. But it also comes down to the way we practice, so we have to be consistent here. We have to hold ourselves accountable, and we have to do some things better in practice as well.Smith and Co. should have a chance to fix their communication problems on Sunday.The New York Jets have one of the best defensive fronts in the NFL, and will no doubt get plenty of pressure on the quarterback.But when given time to throw, opposing passers have been able to shred their secondary, even beating perennial Pro Bowl cornerback Darrelle Revis a couple of times.The Jets are allowing more than 315 yards per game through the air the first two weeks.You dont panic. You go back to the fundamentals a little bit, Smith said. You go back to the work, communicating, making sure were on the same page and getting those things worked out.Game notes S Eric Berry (knee) and LBs Tamba Hali (knee) and Sam Barrington (hamstring) were back at practice Thursday after missing the previous day. ... There was no change in the status of OLs Jah Reid (ankle), Parker Ehinger (concussion) or Laurent Duvernay-Tardiff (ankle).
