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!"

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
The weather was so bad that not even the promise of Matt deBoer selling purple bin liners for just five dollars could lure the Fremantle supporters out of their homes and into the Subiaco water torcher chamber yet the Dockers put on one of the shows of the season. Despite the rain getting so heavy in the first quarter that a family of pelicans were forced to take refuge in Nat Fyfe’s hair, Fremantle kicked one of their highest scores for the season so far; all while keeping Brisbane to the lowest score since anybody could be bothered to go back and check but presumably it involved a jumper with a koala on it. Freo had kept Brisbane to just one lucky point at half time before the entire Dockers backline decided there were better uses for the time and snuck out to see 22 Jump Street. Brisbane still only managed 3 goals in the second half which, based on the conditions, wouldn’t have been such a bad effort, if it hadn’t been for Fremantle kicking a lazy 15 goals and winning by 83 points.
Have your say on how the Dockers players performed on the weekend by rating each player from zero to five or just pop in and have a look what everyone else had to say about the team.
