Welcome to Collingwood Draft Threads (Mods have updated OP for how welcome threads will be handled)

[Rustin Cohle]

This just makes me want to start the welcome threads even more.

 

[Old Spice]

Just let Dave have his welcome to Collingwood threads guys. Is it really that big of a deal?

This. He likes to do it and he's a mad supporter like no other, to quote BT.

Don't be a c*nt and let Dave do it.

 

[DAWESOME!!]

I'm not going to try to rain on your parade Dave, but don't really think you can call dibs like that.

 

[Anzacday]

Maybe we should have a vote?
Vicky Park Magpie Girl Gone Critical woukd one of mind adding a vote option please

 

[Ketchup]

I couldn't really care who makes it if TD really wants to do it, just let him, but do we really need a thread on this? I mean, this board already has 15 threads on the draft and who we will draft, who we wont draft, who do you want to draft, who dont you want to draft, what is our strategy into the draft, the analysis of the draft etc, do we really need a thread about who is creating a thread when the draft is on?

 

[ottoman]

I got dibs on the sack Buckley thread when we lose our first game next year.
But seriously why don't we give TD temp mod for the day, then he can just delete any competing welcome threads and ban anyone who tries to make one?

I second this motion

 

[Seedsfan]

First in best dressed, I don't care who starts the thread. TradeDraft so no one beats you just make a "Welcome to Collingwood pick 5" thread then edit his name in when he is drafted.

Folks,

Draft time is an exciting time for the Collingwood Football Club and us supporters.

If anybody wants to create a Welcome thread ... Go for it!

The mods are happy for there to be multiple welcome threads on the night.

We just ask that if you do create a welcome thread that you make an effort to come up with a fun thread title, put together a good OP, and decorate it a bit to celebrate the festive nature of the occasion.

At the end of the night the mods will tidy things to up keep one thread per new player - we'll be guided by "likes" of the OP's as to which ones we keep.

A tip: if you create a thread super fast and leave a rubbish OP in it, your thread is unlikely to last

A rule: The word "official" is not allowed to appear in your thread title.

Go nuts! (And the mods will be on hand to make sure things don't go too nuts )

 

[eddiebankbalance]

What time tomorrow does it kick off?

 

[Kirby]

This whole issue is quite amusing considering that the Big Footy site usually crashes and becomes completely unworkable on draft night due to the number of people logged in all at once.

 

[MagpieBat]

What time tomorrow does it kick off?

The coverage begins at 6:30pm AEDT, with the actual call of the picks starting about 10 minutes or so after that.

 

[Quicky]

Can I recommend the following formula for those starting the welcome threads.

"Welcome to Collingwood [insert players name and details (height, weight, DOB, club) here]

[Insert Snoop Dogs player bio here]

[Insert Knightmares player bio here]

[Insert youtube highlight video here]"

END OP.

 

[shizzle]

Would have been nice of the club to fly Dave up for the big night, it would have been gold to see him sitting at the table behind Dekka.
With his "DTM" polo shirt of course.

 

[NT.Thunder]

After seeing the mod edit to the OP - I feel Dave's time is done :-(

Just to clarify - we can't use nudity & hot chicks to promote our individual threads can we?

 

[Rusty22]

what i find un fair is that posters are no longer allowed to post pics of girls in bikinis e.t.c, but this forum is full of half naked pics of afl players..

 

[ace andy]

I can understand that Dave loves making these threads but finding out there are others desperate to make these 'welcome' threads and now there is a thread competition is getting a bit strange.

 

[Chilli Con Incarnate]

I'm more concerned about the lack of 'Don't let the door hit you on the arse on your way out' threads.

 

[chestbrah]

i for one welcome our new dave overlord

 

[76woodenspooners]

Can I recommend the following formula for those starting the welcome threads.

"Welcome to Collingwood [insert players name and details (height, weight, DOB, club) here]

Or "You little ripper!! [insert player's nickname 'wozza', 'bazza' 'chook'] has joined the greatest club on earth!!!

[Insert Snoop Dogs player bio here]

Or a pic of the player's face superimposed on the front of your duffle coat.

[Insert Knightmares player bio here]

Or a pic of the player taking a screamer in the forward pocket.

[Insert youtube highlight video here]

Or even better, a video of the draftee having a kick-to-kick with sd26 and Smokeyr67 out the back of the Gold Coast convention centre

END OP.

Make sure you add at the end a picture of some balloons and / or sparklers and / or fireworks and / or bottles of Krug 1928 ... whatever is your style!

 

[76woodenspooners]

what i find un fair is that posters are no longer allowed to post pics of girls in bikinis e.t.c, but this forum is full of half naked pics of afl players..

There are plenty of other places in the Internet that cater for pics of girls in bikinis.

 

[76woodenspooners]

Au contrare ... The mod edit to the OP allows Dave to get his welcome thread posted without the pressure of having to get in before others.

Just to clarify - we can't use nudity & hot chicks to promote our individual threads can we?

Re: nudity: correct
Re: hot chicks: only if we draft a hot chick

 

[Tbone McGraw]

Re: hot chicks: only if we draft a hot chick

Well Darcy has been compared in looks to Keira Knightly.

Not that i am going to post pics of Keira, mainly because i can't on my phone. If others want to do the comparison, they can

 

[Obese Arachnid]

I claim starting old "welcome" threads we may have missed in the past.

Here's one I never go to do.

"Welcome to Victoria Park Spa legionaires disease & various STD's".

 

[Pera]

Might just dangle some bait and see if I can get him carded before tomorrow

 

[TradeDraft]

First in best dressed, I don't care who starts the thread. TradeDraft so no one beats you just make a "Welcome to Collingwood pick 5" thread then edit his name in when he is drafted.

Mods said I can't make Thread until it happens
