Miron Bleiberg has urged Football Federation Australia to take full advantage of a surfeit of A-League expansion bidders and start planning for an 18-team competition now.Two teams will be added in the 2018-19 season to make it a 12-team league, but Bleiberg - who is associated with a Brisbane Strikers bid - sees no reason why the governing body should stop there.Close to a dozen different parties are waiting on criteria to be released by FFA in February before they progress further with their proposals.Bleiberg believes with enthusiasm for the A-League so high at the moment, no strong applications should be turned away.FFA has done an excellent job with the A-League in the last few years. You can see how many bidders there are, it is a hot commodity, Bleiberg told AAP.From what it looks to me, there are a lot of strong bids.So for me, its not enough for FFA to think in the short-term to admit two teams now into the A-League to expand it to 12.They also have to look at the future and also give a guideline about when it will be extended to 14, 16 and 18 so these strong bids will not disappear.Whatever markets suit FFA should be for the immediate future, but the others should also be used to get us to the ideal number.A-League chief Greg ORourke told News Corp earlier this week any new team would have to add value for all existing stakeholders.He also said FFAs primary focus for the next five to seven years would be expansion, determining the right number of teams and the right markets.Its expected FFA will heavily favour teams based in major population centres, like Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane, to provide the biggest boost to the A-Leagues incoming broadcast deal for this round of expansion.But impressive regional bids from Tasmania and Wollongong will make it a complex decision - which is why Bleiberg wants them to strike while the irons hot.Now is the right time, the A-Leagues doing well - credit to FFA - and everyone wants to jump on the bandwagon. Maybe tomorrow that will not be the case, Bleiberg said.Max Kepler Twins Jersey . - After leading the Saints to a fourth playoff appearance in five seasons, Drew Brees expressed confidence in the direction of his team and, perhaps more importantly, showed a willingness to listen to contract proposals if the team needs his help getting under the NFLs salary cap. Devin Smeltzer Jersey . -- There were so many positives from the Orlando Magics first victory of the season that it was hard for coach Jacque Vaughn to stop praising his players. https://www.cheaptwins.com/1282t-jack-morris-jersey-twins.html . The return match will take place next Wednesday. Udinese leads Fiorentina 2-1 in the other semifinal. Napoli staged a second-half comeback from two goals down after Gervinhos opener and a stunning strike from Kevin Strootman. Jason Castro Jersey . But now that hes in the NHL, the Calgary Flames centre showed big improvement in that department by scoring the winner in the eighth round of a 5-4 shootout victory over the Winnipeg Jets on Monday. Sam Dyson Jersey . On Saturday night, the normally free throw-challenged centre did just that. Howard scored 18 of his 25 points in the fourth quarter, including 13 of 19 free throws in a 2 1/2-minute stretch, and the Houston Rockets beat the Denver Nuggets 122-111.The Atlanta Falcons, who saw running back Tevin Coleman go down with a hamstring strain on Sunday, added two running backs -- veteran Stevan Ridley and practice-squad player Terron Ward -- to the 53-man roster Tuesday.Coach Dan Quinn did not announce an immediate timetable for Colemans return, but ESPN Insider Adam Schefter reported Coleman is unlikely to play against the Green Bay Packers this weekend.We just have to find out the severity of it and find out when his strength can get back, Quinn said of Colemans strain. Lets face it: He is a guy who can haul. Hell need to have full strength for him to do what he does.Coleman leads the Falcons with six touchdowns and has 564 combined yards. His absence should mean a heavier workload for starter Devonta Freeman, the leagues eighth-leading rusher with 508 yards on 105 carries.Ridley, a former second-round draftt pick of the New England Patriots who rushed for 1,263 yards in 2012, is known as more of a straight-line runner with power.dddddddddddd. He provides another body for added insurance behind Freeman. Ward played in 13 games for the Falcons last season as an undrafted rookie from Oregon State. He knows the offense and can contribute on special teams, if needed.To make room for Ridley and Ward, the Falcons released veteran linebacker and former Packer A.J. Hawk along with last years starting center, Mike Person. The team also signed running back Jhurell Pressley to the practice squad to fill the void left by Ward.The Falcons are 4-3 and have lost two in a row heading into Sundays home matchup with Aaron Rodgers and the 4-2 Packers.
