StatsCloud: Fremantle v Essendon
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
Ship Steadied. Resume Construction of Trophy Cabinet.
Good news Fremantle supporters, the premiership is back on the cards after the Dockers bounced back from a rough night against the Hawks last week to completely and utterly humiliate the Essendon Football Club...and anyone who's ever been associated with them. A mildly warm afternoon, Fremantle's pressure and Aaron Sandiland's thirst for blood saw Freo grind down the Bombers in the opening half before smashing the peptides out of them in the third quarter with a stunning display of Australian Rules Football that netted them 7 goals, despite David Mundy subbed off at half time with a busted head. Fremantle finished off the effort in the last quarter with the opening 4 goals before showing some mercy and putting on the handbrake to finish the game a very classy 53 points in front, sending them soaring back up the ladder and back into premiership favouritism.
