You Be Ross: Fremantle v North Melbourne

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!"

StatsCloud: Sydney 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. 

Sydney Too Crowded For Fremantle

There were no resurrections, saving of the righteous or Easter miracles for Fremantle in their trip to the SCG this year, although there defense was quite holy at times. Fremantle fought out a classical SCG scrapfest, where space is hard to come by and football is always the loser but it was the Swans who took the chocolates, with Fremantle struggling to kick goals and failing to stop the Swans from doing it at the other end. The Dockers couldn’t score a goal in the second quarter and took their time about it in the third, falling six goals behind before finally kicking into gear to kick some late goals. Within striking distance in the last quarter, Fremantle let the Swans kick a couple of early ones before dobbing three in a row to build some excitement but they couldn’t go on with it and finished 17 points the lesser side. On a positive note, Fremantle hard man Nat Fyfe did not hospitalise anyone in his return from suspension and, as yet, has not been reported.
