Preview writers 2023

[dlanod]

One of the most highly regarded ways any poster can take part in the Brisbane Lions board is contributing previews throughout the year! We've had some high bars, some low bars (ZoBlitz dlanod) and generally great contributions all around so come on down everyone who wants to point their hand up!

Post your selection of team and week in the thread below and I'll let you know when it's coming up. Thank you in advance!

[ZoBlitz]

Don't lump me in with your past failures...

Round 15 for me.

 

[rye]

round 8 please

 

[Section 5]

I can do Melbourne Round 2

 

[Dalions]

Might have a go at the Collingwood game in Round 4.

 

[Haso]

Get me on the field coach.

I'll do Rd 6.

 

[Sausages]

I'll take Port, with the caveat that THEY ARE TRASH and I will brook no hint of any rational and equitable analysis that could possibly be regarded as fair and balanced.

I understand some people enjoy dissecting and reading a game preview that provides a nuanced and balanced assessment.

I am not doing that, rather giving the voice from the outer, where empty beer cans are thrown at every opposition player

EDIT - and I'm happy if such an offer is refused, I don't take it personally

 

[KissKiss]

Happy to do any - did Freo last year. But would request something in the middle to back end of the year. Newborn in the house at the moment means brain isnt quite there at the moment

 

[blynd_freddie]

Round 24 –
PLAN A: to amplify the Zoblitz love for Ross,
PLAN B: to totally steal his schtick with a copy/paste of Rnd 15, but in BOLD…

Genius!

I'll give you Freo again because worst case you can just copy and paste last year's if the kid is still playing up.

 

[3KZ is Football]

Can I do Round 16 and Round 23 please?

 

[Sausages]

Sadly, I am going to withdraw from my offer to cover Round 1.

BF is now a cesspool of muppets and I'm deleting my account and won't be back.

Enjoy the ride chaps, all the best.

Don't let the muppets get to you Sos, I have been banned from multiple sections of big footy for wrong think, I just ignore it and take the occasional extended break.

If you have to I am sad to see you go Sos, l have loved your input over the years.

Sorry to see you go with your unique perspective.

If you want to go out with a bang, feel free to throw up a preview now!

What about me? What about us? I love your work? Please stay. Block the muppets. It works for me.

 

[Section 5]

I can do round 1 v Port as it looks like no other takers

 

[dlanod]

I can do Melbourne Round 2

Thanks for doing week 1!

Unless you want to keep this slot, I've grabbed week 2 off you because I think it's unfair to get you to do two weeks running. I'm more than willing to give it back if you know what you want to do.

I had nothing pre-planned for Melbourne
I can do the Dogs game if you like
That way you have the first 4 weeks covered
Gives you a bit of time to fill other vacant spots

 

[Tom14]

I'll throw my hand up for round 5 v Norf.

 

[DERRINALPHIL]

I will do the North game.

I have memberships of both clubs so it will be interesting to annoy both lots of supporters

Tom14 mind if I give you week 7 against Fremantle instead given the plethora of offers for week 5?

Thanks both to putting your hand up, it's much appreciated!

Works for me

 

[mpal6]

R 14 vs Sydney for me please

 

[Dalions]

I’ll put my hand up again for the Geelong game in Round 19.
