It's about time we got the player advocate program up and running for 2017. This will run in a similar form to the last couple years. We'll field interest and once we have enough posters (45 or so - happy to extend this to the Category B rookies and international scholarship holders if there is enough interest) we'll run a draft with a completely randomised order, apart from the top 3 which has been decided by the moderators as a reward for doing the best job in 2016.
The job of an advocate is essentially to 'look after' a certain player and player thread for the the 2017 season, whether that be posting articles, stats, game reviews, highlight vids or just general musings! The players board can be a bit dull at times so it's a good idea to try and get some discussion happening. We understand not everyone has time to post weekly reviews and every single article that mentions their advocates name but there is some expectation to make an effort - after all it is likely that some people will miss out on being in the draft. But with a number of advocates failing to make a single post in their chosen players thread in 2016, we're going to have a little higher expectations of advocates this year. These expectations will be announced when we get the draft underway - which hopefully won't be too far away.
Assuming they'll all take a spot again in 2017, the top 3 will be:
1. dct66
2. Barrels
3. Sir Skid
Congrats on doing a stellar job guys
Due to unfortunate circumstances and still managing to do a terrific job we've decided to offer Jake Carlisle to CursingFijian for a second year. As long as there are no issues with this? CF did a fantastic job with Sinclair in 2015 and was rewarded with the #1 draft spot in 2016, battled manfully through a difficult year in which Carlisle was literally not allowed to be involved with the club in any way, so I think it's fair for him to have a second go at it in 2017.
Also like to take the chance to ask if there are any suggestions, criticisms or questions about how we run this and any way we could improve it?
