Player watch

[Philzsay]

I have noticed that a few clubs have a "player watch".

The idea is that a different posters are given a player to watch for the year. Then after every game he or she posts how the player went etc.
Hopefully by the end of the year you woud be an expert on your allocoted player.

Would there be about 40 odd people who post in the Essendon board who would be willing to do it???

Remember that not everyone can have James Hird or Matt Lloyd. Oh and don't rush for Mark Bolton!

Anyway just want to see if there is any interest..

[warney7]

Alwyn Davey!

 

[Bomberz_pacers07]

Leroy Jetta!!!

 

[DonMania#5]

I'll take Hirdy

 

[danielcan]

Can I have Lloydy, or is that too predictable?

(After all, I am an Essendon FC member)

 

[Philzsay]

Jobe Watson

 

[Pevers-Legend]

Pevers - of course

 

[Philzsay]

Ok seems like we will have interest.

First in best dress for the players...

There are two different way we can run it:

1. Either start up a thread after each game where everyone puts analysis of their player.

or

2. Everyone starts a thread on their own player and adds to it reguraly.

I would prefer option one, unless DaSawx or the mods could make a sub forum as 40 different threads on the players would cause some chaos on the board.

But I am open for debate...

 

[Willy_37]

I'll Take Courtney Johns Big, Tough, Strong what more could you want

 

[KING-JAMES]

Gumbleton for me

 

[Darealrath]

Option one sounds more practical or else it will clog the joint up too much.

I'll hardly see any Bendigo so I have to go with a (hopefully) regular player. Lucas if i may.

 

[drew_j]

Sounds like a good idea. I'll have Andrew Welsh.

[nonchalance]

Honestly, I'd rather watch the whole game than just pay attention to one player. Sorry.

 

[Darealrath]

That's why I took the easy option and went Lucas. I'd have to study the replay to rate how a McVeigh, Heff or even Watson has gone but it's a lot easier with a key forward.

 

[jules101]

Lovett is easy too because he is so flashy...

 

[nonchalance]

But surely an important part of doing the job properly is to see what they're doing off the ball?

 

[Darealrath]

Who said anything about properly ?

Though there is properly and there is why-the-****-aren't-I-getting-paid-for-this properly.

It's a good concept and it should provoke good discussion.

Sounds like a good idea. I'll have Andrew Welsh.

I had this vision in my head of him being like the poor kid at school.

Standing there ashamed at being the last one picked........again
