Jenson Button says McLaren will not be upset to miss Q3 in qualifying for the Mexican Grand Prix as it expects to be quick enough for points on race day.Button finished FP2 in 12th, two places behind teammate Fernando Alonso, on a circuit which punished Hondas power unit in 2015. With McLaren looking competitive in the last few races Button does not think the teams result will hinge on where it lines up on the grid.The goal is to score points, Button said. If we can get into Q3 thats nice, if were just outside Q3 I dont think well be upset. We have a lot more choice, Fernando started 12th in the last race and finished fifth, and I was 19th and finished ninth. So were not too worried about being just outside the top ten.I think it might be a little bit more difficult [to make Q3] than the last few races but its not such a bad think being just outside the top ten because you get choice of strategy, but obviously well try our best to get in the top ten.The McLarens looked off the pace in FP1 -- with neither in the top 15 -- ?but Button says this was because the team was working on bits for the final two races and 2017.We started off doing a lot of work for later on this year and also next years car so FP1 wasnt really any use for this weekend, but then FP2 there was a lot more testing, which is good. We finally found something that is a bit more interesting and hopefully something we can work with tomorrow. Corey Perry Jersey . The defence is doing its part, too.

Adam Cooney has announced his retirement, joining unwanted yet esteemed company in winning the AFLs highest individual honour but not a premiership.The Essendon midfielder said on Tuesday the 2016 season would be his last, fittingly confirming his future before a milestone match against former club Western Bulldogs.Cooney was taken with pick No.1 in the 2003 draft and won the 2008 Brownlow medal.But a degenerative knee injury meant he never hit those highs again, even after seeking a fresh start with the Bombers in 2014.Preliminary final losses in 2008 and 2009 are the closest Cooney came to pocketing a premiership medallion.Pretty unsatisfied. Its bittersweet I suppose, Cooney said on the eve of his 250th match.Early on when I won the Brownlow I was only 22 and I injured my knee, I probably wasnt able to play the sort of footy that I wanted to after that.You play footy to win a premiership. Its a little bit disappointing to not be able to play in a premiership.Cooney featured in 219 games for the Bulldogs and at his best was one of the leagues most influential players, burning sides with his speed and skill.The 30-year-old remains close with many former teammates at Whitten Oval.It seems a fitting tribute to be able to play against the Dogs this week to celebrate not only my 250-game milestone but also celebrate the carreer I have enjoyed at both clubs, he said.ddddddddddddIm looking forward to the opportunity to also say thank you to the fans from both clubs who have showed me enormous support.Bulldogs coach Luke Beveridge was full of respect for Cooney, saying the on-baller had enjoyed a great career.Well acknowledge that after the game and send him out on a good note, Beveridge said.Cooney contemplated returning for the 2017 season but recent performances convinced him otherwise.Halfway through this year I was actually playing some OK footy and was weighing up whether to go on, he said.But towards the end of the season I probably started to slow down. It would probably have been a little bit selfish of me to decide that I wanted to play on.Bombers coach John Worsfold lauded Cooneys leadership during the clubs difficult 2016 campaign, when 12 senior players have been suspended.Adams experience, leadership and team care has been really vital, Worsfold said.ADAM COONEYS AFL CAREER* Draft history: Pick No.1, 2003 National Draft* AFL Debut: Round 1, 2004 against West Coast at Etihad Stadium* Bombers Debut: Round 1, 2015 against Sydney at ANZ Stadium* AFL Games: 249* Brownlow Medal: 2008* All Australian: 2008.
