Which round are you choosing?

Choosing?

You need to just allocate, then berate him for failing.

No, wait, that's what we do with Greenery

You may have missed the memo but I am benevolent and allow people to make their own choice (once I nag the crap out of them to make said choice).

Speaking of, which round are you choosing Greenery?

 

[dockerfemme]

Love your work! Wanna go next available, which is round 3 at home to Crom?

Consider it done.

Squidward is actually a squid. There is a hint in his name.

 

[BeinPurplenGreen]

Sydney round Suxteen please Sir Tangy Bib.

If that is taken then just gimme whatever game you need covered - just need to know by the Wednesday of the game week please.

Pick a round you coward.

 

[serial_thrilla]

Pick a round you coward.

 

[BeinPurplenGreen]

Tonga Bob if old mate serial_thrilla keeps this up, just make him do a preview of the preview every round.

That is, is Cereal Thrills really good enough to predict, a week in advance, what angle each week's preview will take??

Hey Cereal, you up for it? Heyyyyyyy???

Hello everyone. As my tall, spooky, large-forehead-having friend has intimated, the 2024 AFL season is almost upon us and so to are the Game Previews! Allow me to let the copypasta fairy to explain...

Since 2017 many brave yet foolhardy souls have been the standard bearers for the Fremantle Football Club when it comes to irreverent yet informative previewing. Righteo was the initial architect of the concept, and since then many of us have saluted in the most creative of ways. From the poetic melt of Arcassius in 2017, to the * magpie noises * of 2018, the audio-visual Mayne course provided by Chef TheInjuryFactory in 2019, the frothy inspiration provided by Square Peg in 2021, the joint triumph of Gekko71 & Piggy Smalls in 2022 and BarbieITFC's squeaky bum last season, the Freo faithful have collectively given great effort in the pursuit of providing the board with knowledge, wit, creativity and half-arsed prophecy. So it only seems right to run the concept back up the flagpole to see who salutes in 2024.

If you think that you have what it takes to provide your fellow Freo fans with a preview for one of this season's games, or if you've done the needful in the past and thought to yourself "I'm ready to serve my community once again", then now's the time to put your hand up and claim a slice of the 2024 AFL season as your very own to preview.

The criteria for previewing remain the same:

• Reply to this thread to sign up for any match you'd like to preview in the upcoming season. First in, best dressed, so if you want a specific match try and get in early, and I will update the below fixture accordingly;
• There is no criteria to sign up apart from being a Freo board poster, you don't have to have been a poster for a long time or have made a lot of posts, but just make sure you're in a position to write one when it's your week. If you can't do it when the time comes, let me know and I'll probably sort out a suitable punishment and/or replacement;
• Have fun with the preview. Make it interesting, it doesn't have to be written under a certain guideline or include x,y,z- write it the way you want, use pictures, videos, whatever. A good dose of humour never hurts either;
• This is a competition, so previews judged the best by your peers (most liked, how else do you quantify "best" on the internet??) will join Arcassius TheInjuryFactory Square Peg Gekko71 Piggy Smalls BarbieITFC and yours truly as official Fremantle Posters of the Year, and will receive a shiny badge that looks like this:
  
  (which one day we'll upgrade to look a bit shinier).

These are the games to choose from:

Round 1 vs Brisbane @ home Falconista

Round 2 vs North Melbourne @ away heavho

Round 3 vs Adelaide @ home dockerfemme

Round 4 vs Carlton @ neutral (Gather Round) mattis117

The gauntlet is thrown. The challenge has been challenged. The quest has been laid out. The game is afoot. This horse has been flogged. Whatever, if you think that you're Poster of the Year material then put your money where your mouth is (which is a weird bloody saying but I'm on a roll) and get involved in creating a Game Preview. Your board and your fellow supporters need you, and Mt Postmore is looking for another bust.

Hope the Dockers can really show something this season to satisfy their long suffering supporters. However, I fear it may well be more of the same.

So which preview are you doing again? Can't wait for that one

Thanks for the vote of confidence but this thread's about getting people to write up unofficial game previews. If you were to change your allegiances from the orange team to the purple one then I'd let you write one up.

So which preview are you doing again? Can't wait for that one

Unfortunately our interloper is ineligible to write one as they are only for Freo fans. Should he change teams then I'd consider it.

You however are more than welcome to choose a round to preview.

 

[Dump Truck]

I'll sign up for the round 22 game against the cats.

 

[Tonga Bob]

I'll sign up for the round 22 game against the cats.

All yours. Cheers!

 

[FreoGirl]

I'm too insecure BUT may I please have The Grand Final?

 

[ubiquitous226]

Round 10 (St Kilda away) for me pretty please.

I actually wanted Round 17 but then realised that's the one round I'll be away for..

 

[Tonga Bob]

I'm too insecure BUT may I please have The Grand Final?

If we make it then it's yours!

In the meantime would you like a home & away round to practice with? There's also the bye if you want one a bit different.
