You Be Ross: Richmond 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!"

Freo Grind Adelaide to a Pulp

Fremantle got a bit of a scare early, with Adelaide’s unfashionable attacking style of football catching the Dockers off guard and Fremantle’s forwards struggling from some sort of balance problem in front of goals. The Crows even went as far as taking a lead into half time but Fremantle quickly put a stop to that sort of shenaniganising, grinding the Crows down into a husk of a football team during the second half with their wall of defense before unleashing a devastating multi-pronged attack of Pavlich, Ballantyne and Dawson. The Crows were stunned by the cold, calculating way he Fremantle midfielders went about their business and struggled to understand the rigid discipline of the Fremantle defense but what left them aghast was the the versatility shown by Zac Dawson, who caught them unawares with a sudden run into attack and a goal which many have described as match turning. With the game in the bag fairly early in the last quarter, Fremantle cruised home for a 40 point win, poised to claim a spot in the top 4 by month’s end.

StatsCloud: Fremantle v Adelaide

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.
