Sydney coach John Longmire admits he had to switch to plan B after star forward Lance Franklins injury scare in Hobart.But his back-up strategy worked, producing a nine-point victory over North Melbourne on Saturday afternoon to send the Swans to the top of the AFL ladder.In overcast conditions at Bellerive Oval, Sydney led at every break and finished 12.13 (85) to 10.16 (76) winners.Franklin left the ground in the 13th minute with a hip complaint after a collision with Kangaroo Scott Thompson.We had to change it up a little bit different once Lance got hurt, Longmire said.The shift brought forward some of the Swans midfielders, with nine players booting goals as Franklin took a back seat, managing just one behind.Gary Rohan, Jarrad McVeigh and Dan Hannebery finished with two goals each. Luke Parker earned a nod from the coach with his 31 disposals, as did rover Tom Mitchell and half-back Callum Mills.Franklin returned after a short absence, but his comeback was brief before again heading to the sheds for treatment.Hes OK, Longmire said.He was sore there for a bit of the game, clearly, thats why he ended up coming off twice. But I thought in the last quarter he actually contributed pretty well.The knock isnt expected to prevent Franklin playing against Richmond next Saturday.Longmire wants greater consistency from his side, which was dominated at times by North, including through most of the second term.We can improve a bit on todays performance and thats what we will be trying to do next week - trying to make sure we keep sharpening up all areas of our game, he said.But you want to get to this point of the year with that in front of you, which is to be able to control your own destiny ... in the last game of the year at the SCG and thats what were going to try and do.The Kangaroos have managed just three wins from the past 11 rounds, and coach Brad Scott was blunt in his assessment.We werent able to capitalise on our opportunities well enough, he said, adding that three easy goals they failed to kick proved costly.The game ended their streak of eight victories at their second home in Hobart, and also likely puts Thompson back on the injury list.The veteran defender, on his return from a groin complaint, left the field at the end of the first quarter, and was later seen on the sideline holding ice on his groin.Stalwart Brent Harvey was the standout for the Kangaroos, finishing with three goals, two behinds and 32 disposals.

Miller was designated Tuesday as the teams amnesty player, a move that may save the Heat more than $30 million in luxury tax payments over the next two years and comes only a few days after team president Pat Riley said the two-time defending NBA champions were hoping to keep the core of the roster largely intact for next season. But with the teams tax bill set to be bigger than ever -- depending on what the final payroll numbers are, the Heat could pay as much as $2.50 per $1 they are over the salary-cap threshold for this coming season under the leagues new and more punitive rules -- the team ultimately made the call to part with Miller, a move that he suspected was coming. "I understand the business side of basketball," Miller told The Associated Press. "Its a combination of being very, very thankful for the opportunity that Ive had, but it hurts that we had a chance to do something very, very special and Id love to have been a part of it." Riley said the team tried to trade Miller, then had to make "a very difficult decision" to use the one-time amnesty provision on him. He said the teams managing general partner Micky Arison, CEO Nick Arison and coach Erik Spoelstra all struggled with the decision. "Mike had an incredible impact on the Miami Heat; helping us to three finals appearances and winning back-to-back World Championships," Riley wrote in a statement released by the team. "This was a very difficult decision for me personally, the Arison family, Erik and the entire Miami Heat organization. Mike was one of the best we have ever had here, and will be sorely missed. We wish Mike, his wife Jennifer and their family nothing but the best." Miller would have made $6.2 million this season, and $6.6 million next season. He still gets that money, but his salary will not count against Miamis cap, nor will it count against a luxury-tax hit that was in line to exceed $30 million this coming season alone. "I love Mike. We all love Mike," Heat guard Dwyane Wade told AP as the news of the teams decision broke. "Its tough to lose one of our brothers. But I think we all understaand its not personal.ddddddddddddIts a business decision." If Miller is not claimed off waivers, he becomes a free agent later this week. Its believed he would like to play for a title contender, and a return to Memphis -- where he spent parts of six seasons -- would likely appeal to Miller. "I know I can be very, very productive for a couple years for sure," Miller said. "But at the same time, it would be very difficult to go into a situation where youre not competing for a title. So Im going to have to weigh those things, and well see how it plays out." Miller spent three seasons in Miami, helping the Heat win two titles and playing big roles in each playoff run. He started the last four games of this years NBA Finals, the highlight of that run possibly being how he lost a shoe during play early in the fourth quarter of Game 6 against San Antonio, flipped it over to the bench, came downcourt and swished a 3-pointer anyway to help the Heat rally from 10 points down in the final 12 minutes. He also came off the bench to make seven 3-pointers in the title-clinching Game 5 win over Oklahoma City in 2012. "Ive had a pretty good career and Ive been a part of a lot of special things," said Miller, the NBAs rookie of the year in 2000-01 and sixth man of the year in 2005-06. "Ive won some individual awards and now two rings, so Im going to have some pretty good memories." Miller plans to keep playing for at least a couple more years, saying that he feels better now than he has in several seasons. He expressed disappointment that not only will he not get to help the Heat try for a third straight title, he will no longer be playing alongside Udonis Haslem, his former college teammate at Florida. Reuniting with Haslem was one of the many reasons why Miller signed with Miami. "I said this when I first got back here: My career started in the state of Florida with unbelievable teammates, one of them being Udonis," Miller said. "And then ending back up in Florida with UD, that was a special thing. We had a chance to win a national championship, came up short, then at the end got back as teammates in the NBA and won two championships together. Thats special."
