You Be Ross: Fremantle v Carlton

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: St Kilda 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. 

Freo Fly in, Get the points & Fly Out. Wait, did we forget something?

Management of the Fremantle Football Club have put out an urgent request for anyone finding a bag full of pants to please return them to the club as soon as possible so the Dockers can their season back on track. Freo’s charge to the top of the ladder hit a bit of a snag this week when bottom placed St Kilda pulled the Dockers pants down and ran off with them to the tune of 58 points. Fremantle were never in the game, kicking just 3 goals in the opening half and holding themselves to that standard for the rest of the afternoon. So meek was Fremantle’s effort that the half time address was mostly the coach trying to describe to his players what a football looks like (with a healthy sprinkling of swear words). In fact, Fremantle had so little of the ball that, had Nik Naitanui played for the Dockers, he would have been considered one of the top possession getters. The worry now for Fremantle is that, with the bye ahead, Steve Harris and Steve Rosich will start to get nervous and try and poach Alan Richardson for the remainder of the season.
