You Be Ross: Fremantle v Other Sydney

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: Melbourne 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. 

Fish in Barrel Shot

It wasn’t a game that they’ll be talking about for long (well, actually, it’s Darwin; that’s all they’ll talk about) but Fremantle have sailed through with a massic 10 goal thrashing of Melbourne, barely raising a sweat in the process. The Dockers kept the Demons to just 4 goal for the match it a siren to siren flogging, with Nat Fyfe putting on a demonstration for the Northern Territory locals to make up for the withdrawal of the other drawcards Matthew Pavlich and Stephen Hill and Hayden Ballantyne dobbing a triple in game one hundred. Anthony Morabito was subbed on during the third quarter and made it through the rest of the match without anything falling off.
