Preview Match Previews 2019

[scaryness]

We are less than a month away from the season beginning again and we are looking for volunteers for match previews this year!

Typically they will at least always include the team lineups and some key player write ups, but you can write your previews any way you want them. You could write a serious detailed breakdown or a completely comedic piece, and anything in between. Whatever you are feeling at the time!

Here are this year's games, nominate one you are keen for and we will put your name to it in this post.

Anyone at least keen to get the Round 1 preview up in a few weeks time?

 

[Kennedy Parker]

Middle of the year I could do one

 

[Ticky009]

Brisbane game please.

 

[Banyo Bloods]

I was going to say it would be a brave person to follow Swansfan51 but unless we make finals he made a good choice.

I will take his table scraps


Round 16 Saturday, July 06
Essendon

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

Reading each of the Previews last year was a real highlight for me. They represent a full slice of the Bloods world view, but all were illuminating and vastly entertaining.

 

[SlingshotFooty]

I haven't watched the last preseason game yet, but I will take one once I look at the fixture.

 

[Jack Lord]

I can do round one if it’s available.

 

[scaryness]

I can do round one if it’s available.

Done.

Happy to take any round needed

First things first ... BUMP!!

With the season fast approaching hopefully a few more sign up for some previews.

We've had some absolute belters of previews the last few seasons and reckon this season we're all set up for a few more... There's some good material just waiting to be written about...

• Who doesn't want to make jokes about Mumford+sausages+illegal substances??
• Talking illegal substances... Round 8 is still available swansfan51?
• And I know there'd be a few who would just love to get a hold of Round 11 & 19... (Poor Gaz... I still love you)
• Then there's #RonkeRound (round 14).

So much good stuff to write about this year!

It's not difficult and can be in whatever style you choose. There is no set standard or theme. Go crazy with it, like Aliirs hairstyle, or keep the reigns as tight as a Horse in the coaches box (... even as OFlo streams into a vacant Fwd 50...).


Can I take the Port Adelaide Round 21 fixture scaryness??


Btw - Surely sataris gets dibs on the Midseason break?!

 

[Olian]

I’ll do round 15.

 

[Jewelsbon]

I've got a crazy year coming up which is why I haven't put my hand up earlier, but I'll take Hawthorn rd 14.


Apologies in advance if it's a bit on the shorty and sweet side.....

Write it however you can or want Jewelsbon
Complete freedom.

We have had essays before and even a preview that was only 3 words long + a tip.

 

[sataris]

This is without doubt

The single greatest preview thread ever written on this website.

I still revisit it from time to time.

Thank you, though I'm very disappointed a lot of the pictures have disappeared

 

[MC Bad Genius]

I'll put my hand up for the WC match in round 12.

 

[scaryness]

Anyone want to do the Melbourne write-up next week?

 

[Bonz]

Which round was I down for?

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

Damn, Scaryness. I'll do the Melbourne preview, singly or in tandem.

Trying to find Connolly to co-write the Melbourne preview. I like the idea of co-writing, not least to keep my crap under some sort of control as well as to have some Kirky yin and yang.

If the inestimable Connolly is not around maybe someone I've crossed swords with could volunteer to co-write (Mark P, Kirkswan, Tedeski, Number 37 et al). PM me if interested and I'll let Scaryness know.
