Game Day Looking for people to write our Game Day thread OPs in 2020

[Lore]

Hi everyone,

As you know VelvetSledge has been writing the amazing OPs of our Game Day thread for the last number of years, however as life gets busier he is finding that he has less time to do them every week and he's looking to reduce it a bit.

As such, we're wondering if anyone else would be interested in having a go at creating a Game Day OP during the year.

You don't need to do it in exactly the same format as VS does, but the basic information about the game does need to be included somewhere along the way. They need to be posted in a timely manner, at least a couple of hours before the game is due to start. (You can also post them a few days in advance too if that's easier, we can temporarily delete the thread and then undelete it on game day).

Other than that, you have full creative control.

Some examples from other boards:

Game Day - Round 10, 2015 - GWS vs Brisbane Lions

WARNING: Oh god, I hope this doesn't crash everyone's browsers. What I want to see: Evasiveness.. Some quality tackle-breaking... Our ruckmen getting up there for tap-outs to advantage... Getting numbers to the contest... And of course, some big marks...

Game Day - Round 2, 2017 - Brisbane Lions vs. Essendon

It feels like a giftastic game day! So who's playing their first game for the Lions? Will Bewick continue his good form? Why does Greeny speak in third person when talking about eating Subway subs? Oh Hirdy, you excited? Wanga, you coming to the Bears 30th anniversary event at...

Game Day - Ahh.. what difference a month makes... Derby #50: 6:10 AWST Saturday, Optus Oval

Ahhh, another derby.. It feels like just yesterday reading the Sunday Times cover in late 2015, and truly believing that this would be the one to draw us level with the scum up the road. No more would we stand under big brothers shadow, and as minor premiers we would soon have no one to fear on...

Game Day - Kissing a Frog - Fremantle vs St Kilda Sunday 2nd July Domain Stadium 14:40

Kissing a Frog Once upon a time there was a dashing(??!!) Prince called Ross. He lived in the kingdom of Melbourne and his knights were called the Sinners. The Sinners had been a rabble until Ross became their Prince. Ross led the Sinners with thought and fortitude. With Ross’s help they were...

Game Day - Ports vs Crers

"We're scared. There's going to be 10,000 Adelaide fans at the game that think we're not good enough. You know what? Maybe we ain't." "All of you feel like that? For 147 years in this state, the Port fan has been spit upon, kicked, dragged through the mud...but there are two things I can tell...

[VelvetSledge]

I'll take Round 2 as well if need be, have a bit of ammo there

 

[Barry Roundhouse]

just read through the examples from other boards... gee bloody whiz have we been spoilt with Velvets' stylings. The bar is set high!

 

[eth-dog]

I can do any Sunday games if nobody else is able to do so. Thursdays and Saturdays are definitely no goes for me, unless occurring on VAFA bye weekends.

[VelvetSledge]

If people want any graphics for them done (Just not the team sheets, that s**t is tedious), then let me know. I have a template for headers now so am happy to work with them if need be.



Yes I've raided the FOXFooty Graphics Department
