Discussion Proposal: Additional board for St Kilda players

[blues2010]

Massive saints fan from Adelaide, I need a detailed source about up and coming players playing for sandi, cant go to the games so somthing like this would be awesome

I don't mind doing this as I go and watch Sandy every week, even going to the Gold Coast this year to watch them

 

[SammyFish25]

Anyway idea how long until the board becomes 'non hidden' K?

 

[Kildonan]

We might be able to set up the Players Board to give headings to distinguish Saints players and Sandy players but keep them all together. A Sandringham board probably would not draw enough traffic to justify its existence.

I think that individual threads for every Sandy player would indeed go a bit too far - but I'm not saying that there should not be any threads about 'special' young players. While I missed the second half of the 2009 season, I have to admit that I did not see Will Johnson coming, but e.g. Alex Silvagni - when still with Casey - would have been another example who drew a lot of attention, at least with supporters and the Freo recruiting manager.

That said, I would have thought that a Sandy board would generate a bit of traffic not only from those who go watch them (who must not necessarily be Saints supporters - as e.g. blues2010 whose contributions I would definitely be grateful for), but could potentially / hopefully create enough interest to encourage others to make the trip to Trevor Barker Oval now and again (even if just to be 'close' to the various St Kilda players playing or watching - remember that St Kilda members receive free entry to all Sandringham home games and half price admission to away games).

I for one intend to go see a few home games (away games are more unlikely to be honoured by my presence...) again and would certainly be interested to hear from others about how they saw the game (especially if I wasn't there myself and the game was not on ABC).

Sorry, wrong thread

 

[Rough_Edges]

Would be happy to do a player if theres one to be done.

 

[TheStinger]

Would be happy to do a player if theres one to be done.

There is about eight kinds of wrong with that sentence.

 

[crespo007]

Great idea. We have one on the Brisbane boars and it works a treat. Great way for bigfooty users to keep up to beat with a clubs depth and emerging talent.

 

[Zagg]

Is the name the only thing we're waiting on?

 

[Papa Juggs]

I think this is a great idea.

I put my hand up to look after one of the player threads.

 

[Zagg]

What's the delay with the player board?

If we're still looking for a name how about 'The Lyon Cage'?

 

[Papa Juggs]

+1 Lyon cage

 

[sauce_head]

How about: St Kilda players?

Announcement:

The St Kilda board subforum for players has been approved by the powers that be.
It has been created but remains invisible for the short term while we decide just how we are going to get this thing running.

Name of Board ?
Poster/s responsible for player/s or dedicated spec mod to maintain board and keep everything up to date or both ?
Invite only board ?
Read only board ?
Open to all posters to cater for dream team, supercoach and other interests ?

Lyon cage sounds good.
Open to BigFooty with individual player threads maintained or updated with info by assigned poster.
We should get a definitive list of posters willing to upkeep a thread or 3 and organise a draft sort of thing. Choosing your favourite player to keep an eye on all season would be alot more interesting and probably result in better content on their behalf than getting one who you may not hold much interest in. But going the other way, you'll learn stuff about a player you don't keep as close eye on. Goes both ways i guess, imo draft ftw. Specmod is probably unnecessary first up, doubt there would be many trolls anyway.

//My 2c.
That's if it's still going ahead.

 

[the emergency]

I'm pretty new around here, but I'll be happy to help out as much as possible

I'll be happy to do the specs, as well as outlooks and upsides of our rookies if that hasn't been taken

 

[Look2Me4Guidance]

What if you sink 6 pots with Bubblegoose and IWAGD pre game? Will that be taken into account?

 

[Kildonan]

The Saints Player Board should be up and visible to all very shortly.

I have started a thread for each player - it provides a basic info package for DT and SC but not much else. Please assist in this project by adding information such as how they have played in the preseason, injuries, likelihood of playing immediately and also of playing eventually this year.

I have opened the board up for all comers. If this is treated respectfully then it will remain so.

 

[Look2Me4Guidance]

Oh you sweet thing.

I'm a playa.....do I get a thread, wait, wat?
