So Ross allowed Fox into the meeting room before the Essendon game. He left some of the messaging on the white board behind. Needs to work on his writing as it's hard to read. Can you help me to decipher the code?
I think we've got all 7 of them now - well done!

Line 1- Formula Clear
Line 2- T/M (Teammates) and structures stand up
Line 3- opportunity to improve.
Line 4- Deliberate harder choices
Line 5 -Over & Over
Line 6-Weight of Numbers - 18.
Line 7-fight to keep spot/seat

Line 2 looks like you have it. Updated in OP.
Line 1 'Forward clear' perhaps - as in keep the forward line clear?
 
Line 1- FORMULA CLEAR
Line 2- T/M & structures set up

Line 4- Deliberate,..........
Line 5-?
Line 6- W.O.N. 18th

shhh don't share this with the opposition ;)

I'm thinking Ross has rubbed off the things that matter before the Fox crew rolled in. Kingy's comments about the simple messaging may well have been tongue in cheek too. But gives us something to do in between games.
 
4 & 5: Deliberate harder choices / over & over.

6: (W.O.N. 18#) Win on the night for no.18 (McPharlin).

------------------------

Next to RTB's head:

Stop it midfield

What are the references to:

#6 D. Pearce
#5 Ibbo
#25 A. Pearce (something ending 'first game')?

I don't think "fight to keep spot" is right. The last word looks like something else (seat?). Is W.O.N. a stat that we're ranked 18th?

I'm racking my brain over the last line.. wondering if the 18 refers to the number of teams in the comp??

"Fight to keep seat" - a reference to Fred Ziffel to keep fighting to retain his allocated seat?

"A stat that we're ranked 18th" - only losses.

Line 7 is Fight to keep seat.
Mayne said in a recent interview that they need to perform their roles to keep their seat on "the bus". So I'd imagine it's a saying down at Freo.

I watched the interview back and this is a literal quote of what RTB says regarding the figures near his head "Stop it midfield":

"A couple of simple focuses, obviously with our centre, we just looked at their defensive half movement they've been scoring well in their wins kicking 8 goals and when they lose 5, but it's more the oppo getting it back 25 times when the oppo beat them so their high disposal in their back half, lot of kicking, lot of moving it around so we think it's an opportunity and the teams that beat them do it well so we want to get after them there. So, that's been the simple focus".
