Dockerland Budget: Fremantle v Brisbane
To save people forking over their hard earned money to the AFL in exchange for a magazine that gets bigger every week, making it harder to get to the only part you actually want - the names of the players, we've introduced the Dockerland Budget.
There's No TomorabitoFor Lions
Fremantle are settling into a nice steady groove, picking up the four points every week and accumulating a handy percentage as they stalk their way into the top four. This week they’ve gone a bit crazy at the selection table though. They’ve cut loose with a few shandies and some Tia Maria Tim Tams and made a change. Thats right - a change. Into the side will be, oh, just Clancee Pearce. Tommy Sheridan is the player that’s been dropped because that’s what he’s in the side for. The Lions have been a touch uncouth with their selections, dropping three players including Jonathan “Mr Glass” Brown. With James Aish “rested” and Mitch Golby dropped. Daniel Merrett, Nick Robertson and Tom Cutler come in to stand around not getting the ball on their behalf.
You Be Ross: Fremantle v Brisbane
Ross Lyon has his sights set on the flag this year but he's the sort of bloke who loves to get feedback from the general public, good or bad. So if you really want to be a true supporter of the club, then make sure you shout stuff out to him at the ground and give him some pointers on how to get this coaching caper done. But before you do your duty as a member and hurl advice in the direction of professional coaching staff, make sure you know what you're talking about or they might just right you off as a nutjob and miss out on some choice advice. Work the board, move the magnets around and when you think you've got it sussed, start practising yelling "Hey Ross! Ross! Put Sandilands in the goal square for a rest!"

StatsClouds: Richmond v Fremantle
Numbers...you can't trust them. The Romans knew what numbers were up to and wouldn't have a bar of them. You can put your faith in a nice sturdy X but a 10, it's shifty. The only thing more iffy than a number is a statistic, they'll cut you open and rob you of your kidneys before you can say "aren't you supposed to drug me and put in a bath of ice first?". Unfortunately we're hooked on numbers though, we need them to work out how many kicks David Mundy had this week...and probably some other stuff too. The Dockerland Labs spent the summer pondering the problem and eventually, when the cricket was over, the fridge was empty and the clicker broke in everyone's pen, they came up with a solution - the stats cloud. A quick glance and you'll pretty much know everything about a game of football that there was to know, at least all the boring bits about it. The bigger the player's name, the more kicks, or marks, or tackles he had compared to his teammates.Â
