Be Very Quiet. We're Hunting Wabbits
Fremantle head to the birthplace of Gary Ablett this weekend to play against the one time respected Geelong Football Club in what many are calling a fait accompli, based on the humiliation the Fremantle dished out to Geelong in the failed match fixing scandal last September and the Dockers general dominance over the Cats over the past decade or so. Matthew Pavlich’s head has returned to an acceptable level of function in time for him to make the cut but Tendai Muzungu won’t be making the trip after an apparent bike riding accident during last week’s match against Carlton. Garrick Ibbotson’s battle with his body continues and he’s out with a back injury. Hayden Crozier is the default setting in the situation and East Fremantle’s Max Duffy will come in for his debut after a good couple of years in the WAFL.
Dockerland Budget: Geelong v Fremantle
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.
You Be Ross: Geelong v Fremantle
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: Fremantle v Carlton
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
