I'll put my hand up for rd 10 v the lions, I'm going up for the game so I'll give it a go.
Have no idea what or how to do it, so any help and advice will be greatly appreciated.
It's pretty easy. Just a simple write up about the teams going to the game will do. Usually a good place to start is the history between the two teams, the recent form going into the game, some match ups, some key players from both sides, stats or talking points. There's no formula you have to follow, just post it according to a style you're comfortable with.

A few examples from last season for inspiration:

I'll do the Bye.
I was just about to tag you in here to say that very same thing.

I'm kind of running out of material on the drug cheating scum, but I'll do a preview of any team by popular demand :)

Try Geelong, since you've posted about their list management before. Might be an opportunity to compare their recruiting to ours. ;)

Nonsense! The Drug-Ons still have the Chemist as coach and the rumour mill is in high guinea pig overdrive that the Hird is on the cusp of a return..... Slobbo is still writing reams of tosh about the druggies... You have no shortage of material to work with!
 
I'll (nervously) volunteer for
Round 16 Thursday, July 05
Geelong

but I'll need a little advice on how to do draft posts and (maybe) how/where to store video clips?????

With Round 1 underway within a week we're still looking for a few more to volunteer and take on a preview. Still plenty of good options on the table!

I'll tag a few people who did one last year if you're interested again.

Bonz
Papermate
Tuco
discotobo

I'm fairly flat out with the new baby (due in about 6-7 weeks) but I'd be happy to do one after the mid season break. Before that I'd rather everyone not be waiting for my preview when my focus will be with my wife.

Anywhere after Round say 10-12 will be fine. Not fussed what game.
