Preview Match Previews 2017

[Ticky009]

Both GWS games still free...c'mon that's gotta be worth some effort people!!

 

[miggs]

Im terrible at these SF51. As much as i appreciate the thought. I'll leave it for someone who can write up a masterpiece

 

[miggs]

Could be the 1st ever adults only match preview

 

[The King!]

If you have the time of course, you should give it a crack miggs i think you would do a good job

 

[Dangas]

R21 vs. Freo I will do.

 

[brad cooper]

Sorry! Can't tag on my mobile but will put you on it tonight

Bulldogs are looking very tempting for me, already thinking of material

Sounds good. I always enjoy reading the previews

 

[GotTheGoodes]

I agree miggs. Reckon you'd do a great job. And if you don't then we can all point & laugh at you. All good dude.

 

[GotTheGoodes]

On that note... I'll take the crows game if no1 else wants to touch it swansfan51

 

[Kirkswan]

Round 3 Friday, April 07
Collingwood

I'll have a go at this one, but I'm a newbie at this sort of thing so be kind in your criticisms

 

[Kirkswan]

miggs, in the spirit of I will if you will, I have so you should... you can't be any worse than me! Not only am I a girl/woman/old duck (and addicted to smilies and exclamation marks!), I was born in the time of ink bottles, wooden desks and no plastic! You have to be more technologically gifted than me! Have a go...

 

[The King!]

Miggs running away like Sinclair from a marking opportunity

 

[The King!]

Waiting for the round 1 thread

 

[Sid Ruckle]

Round 4 Thursday, April 13
West Coast Eagles

Will have a crack if noone else nominates

 

[sataris]

Will have a crack if noone else nominates

I like the subtle way you've worked the word crack into a post about the eagles.

 

[Sid Ruckle]

Swansfan51 does the like mean I'm hired, or am I on ice until next year?

 

[RW]

Waiting for the round 1 thread

I'm waiting for Rd 2, I dare say if anyone still hasn't woken up from their delusions by then, they will have after reading the preview

 

[swansfan51]

Swansfan51 does the like mean I'm hired, or am I on ice until next year?

You're hired, and your name has been updated in the OP

 

[RW]

OK I'll show some leadership for a change and take the first GWS game

 

[Kirkswan]

I don't know what I was thinking, doing the round following swansfan51, talk about brain fade!

Okay a few questions for you all...

Does the person doing the preview create that thread or does one of the mods? Do you open it straight after the previous game or the next day?

If I create the thread and save it as a draft (working on it when I can), can I then copy and paste it into the actual thread at the right time?

swansfan51, you said you would provide a few links to previous previews... can you do that for me? please?

Great questions!

The preview can be as soon as you like after the last game. People can carry on discussion of the preceding game in the Autopsy thread and then we kick off the preview thread for the next game. However sometimes the preview comes a bit later and we can always edit/move it to the start of the thread for you. The earlier the preview is up, the more views/discussion it will get!

Yes you can save a draft new thread, I've done the same while working on my own preview. Its a good tip if others aren't aware of it.

I did, and I forgot! Thank you for the reminder. Here are a few examples from last year, all different styles:

Ok, thanks... I'm on it!

 

[sataris]

I will take on Geelong Rd 20.

My body is ready.

With one round to go and us 8 points clear of 8th place on the ladder, it's certain that we will be playing at least one final.
We'll be looking for some volunteers to write match previews for finals games now.

If you don't get enough volunteers, then I'll have a go... but otherwise I'll keep practicing in the h&a next year
