Mod. Notice 2011 Game Previews Expression of Interest thread

[winty]

Hi guys and girls.

Since season 2011 is fast approaching, as with past seasons, it's time to organise the writing of previews for the coming season. What does this entail exactly? Here are a couple of examples of what we're looking for.

Here's witsend's preview of last year's Round 2 clash against the Hawks, and here's an example of Collingwood poster DaVe86 and our very own Rosso's preview of the Round 9 clash against the Pies. We don't expect all the previews to be as detailed as DaVe's, but the previews of witsend and Rosso are a general idea of what we're looking for.

What we would like is if you could nominate 5 games you would like to preview in the upcoming season in order of preference, and we'll then organise a roster of who will be doing what. Depending on interest, you'll be required to post one or two such threads. Those required to post the upcoming week's preview will receive a reminder by private message the Sunday evening before the game in question, and hope to have the posts up by the middle of that week.

For reference, here is the fixture for this year:

Round 1 - Geelong vs St.Kilda - Friday night @ MCG
Round 2 - Fremantle vs Geelong - Saturday night @ Patersons Stadium
Round 3 - Geelong vs Port Adelaide - Sunday @ Skilled Stadium

Will do. Only need two more volunteers, as I'm going to put myself down for a couple too. Don't worry though, I won't put myself down for the best games.

I'll be going to the footy for the first time in seven years on Rd 19, so I wouldn't mind having a crack at that game if no one else has taken it already.
