Win Prizes Season 2025 Game Previews

[Tonga Bob]

Happy New Year to all who celebrate and observe!

As is tradition, I am running comically late in wrapping up the Poster of the Year competition and 2025 is no exception. We had 15 outstanding previews presented to us, so I want to start off by giving a huge thank you to heavho mattis117 King Huskii dockerfemme ubiquitous226 Purple Jesus kingswood71 Dump Truck samFFC thistimeforsure Mr Cheese BeinPurplenGreen freo84 RonnieRaven & largebus for some chmpagne previewing! You've all given great effort on behalf of the board and we appreciate what you've providied! I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with in 2026.

It was difficult to whittle the list of previews down to a group of five finalists, but at the same time it was really easy because the board did the work for me. You see, democracy dictates that the preview OP's with the most reacts make the cut. So in order of number of reacts received here are the finalists:

Elimination Final at home vs Gold Coast by largebus: https://www.bigfooty.com/forum/thre...the-hostplus-sponsors-both-of-us-cup.1400888/
Round 16 at home vs St Kilda by Mr Cheese: https://www.bigfooty.com/forum/threads/ding-ding-round-2-freo-vs-saints-sunday-3-10pm.1397773/
Round 6 away vs Melbourne by Purple Jesus: https://www.bigfooty.com/forum/threads/freo-vs-melbourne-round-6.1394553/
Round 17 away vs Sydney by BeinPurplenGreen: https://www.bigfooty.com/forum/thre...-kepler-freo-v-swans-scg-6-july-2025.1398052/
Round 22 away vs Port Adelaide by RonnieRaven: https://www.bigfooty.com/forum/thre...mantle-anchors-cutting-edge-in-depth.1399428/

I'll put up a poll in the thread shortly which will stay open for a month or so. Your job as the Freo board is to read the final five previews and vote on your favourite, the author of which will become the Freo board Poster of the Year for 2025. Please take the time to do this, the finalists put in the effort to entertain and inform us so the least you can do is show your recognition for their efforts.

And as is also tradition, each voter gets a democracy sausage.



Happy voting, and come get y'all glizzies!​

Cool. If you can do Thursday that would be great, so I can get it linked to the BF header.

Bump!
Anyone keen?

I've already got overexcited for Brissy game, and we all know how that ended, so not sure you want that to happen again.

The footy gods tend to dislike my hubris so I'm not keen. If we hit Wednesday with no one, then I'll put my hand up. If we lose, it's not on me...

 

[largebus]

Tonga Bob I'll have it up tomorrow.

Hi all, we have just under a week left of voting for the Poster of the Year. Three people are tied in the lead, yet only eight people have voted so if you haven't yet please take a few minutes to vote on your favourite Game preview of 2025.

Every vote matters!

 

[Tonga Bob]

Well folks the race has been run and won, and in the end it was a pretty comprehensive win. Thank you to the 22 people who voted for taking the time to appreciate those that Gave Great Effort, thank you to the match previewers who Gave Great Effort and thank you to the finalists in largebus Mr Cheese Purple Jesus BeinPurplenGreen & RonnieRaven for being those that Gave Great Effort who were deemed worthy of being finalists.

But if the Matrix taught us anything it's that there will always be The One. And that one this season is Purple Jesus who joins the likes of Arcassius TheInjuryFactory Square Peg Gekko71 Piggy Smalls BarbieITFC & dockerfemme in becoming a Fremantle Poster of the Year! Congrats mate, I'll organise your shiny new badge shortly. In the meantime, please enjoy the updated view of Mt Postmore!



Stay tuned for the 2026 iteration of the Game Previews thread, and get your ideas ready for what promises to be another bumper season!​
