Ballantyne In To Replace Hollywood Brigade
The good news is, Michael Barlow is off to see a tailor. The bad news is that he didn’t pay his the bill last time he went to the tailor and some blokes were sent around to break Barlow’s thumb which will see him out for two weeks but hopefully we won’t have to watch his bum crack through the finals. Nat Fyfe is also in some strife, although in his case it was he who was dishing out the fists of justice which, after a few hours of arguing otherwise, is worth a 2 week rest. The good news is that Hayden Ballantyne is back to cover for the two of them after missing last week with a bit of a leg based issue. Joining him on the extended interchange bench will be Nick Suban, Matt de Boer, Garrick Ibbotson and Jack Hannath with three players to be axed from the squad before the game. The Lions have brought in Ashley McGrath for a send off game and a few other blokes who probably won’t be around bast the 30th.
Dockerland Budget: Brisbane 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: Brisbane 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 Hawthorn
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
