Preview Team preview threads for 2011 - Select Your "2nd Side"

[teak]

Hello friends.
Towards the end of last pre-season, there were threads produced previewing what we as Essendon supporters, thought of other clubs prospects for 2010.
I thought this was a good read, and quite interesting to read about from other's POV's. I would encourage those with a real passion for a club to nominate themselves to start a thread detailing what they think about said club.

No stringent guidelines, but some ideas include
Short review of 2010 season
Strengths
Weaknesses
Injury concerns
Change in personel for 2011
Off field issues [good or bad]
Predicted position in 2011
etc

So post below if you are interested. First in, best dressed for choice of club. Don't really know how we want to do this... maybe like 1 a day so we don't flood the board? 17 teams with 17 days till the NAB cup could work.

Adelaide -
Brisbane - The Fact
Carlton - SirJimi05
Collingwood - bombersno1
Essendon -
Fremantle - eth-dog
Geelong -
Gold Coast - HFF_07
Hawthorn -
Melbourne - Charliebrow 16
Kangaroos - Vass38
Port -
Richmond - The House
St Kilda -
Sydney - Noddy Holder
West Coast - HFF_07
Western Bulldogs - Whomb

Great initiative.

I'll take on the Bulldogs.

 

[The House]

Re: Team preview threads for 2011

I'll have a crack at Richmond....might be a few days before i get to it though.

Also if those doing a side could include a best 22 and list a few depth players i'm sure it will add to the read.

I'll do Sydney.

Re: Team preview for 2011

I might invite the locals of each side to come over to make comment, if you guys think that's worthwhile?

Definitely....was thinking the same thing myself.

Re: Team preview for 2011

Cool, well will do once the first thread's up.

Feel free to post them whenever, to kick things off.

Re: Team preview threads for 2011

I'll take Freo. Like a second team to me

Re: Team preview threads for 2011

Yeah good call, I think it would be great to talk to opposition supporters about what their expectation are.
I also had a thought about creating a similar thread to this for each Essendon player, but probably not time before the NAB cup. Perhaps after it. Thoughts?

Re: Team preview threads for 2011

Yeah good one.

We'll probably be in a better position to do such a thing after the NAB Cup too, to gauge where they're at fitness wise etc.

Re: Team preview threads for 2011

I'll give Melbourne a write-up if you'd like. Been following them closely and have quite the soft spot for them.

Re: Team preview threads for 2011

Good man.

I'll get mine up (thread, I mean) on the weekend, so if somebody wants to do theirs tomorrow, that'd be great.

 

[The Fact]

I'll do lions

 

[SirJimi05]

If it's cool I'll take the Blues?

 

[Kong]

Go for it.

The two coast's

Gold Coast and West Coast thanks

 

[teak]

Outstanding.
Less than half left.

Adelaide
Collingwood
Essendon
Geelong
Hawthorn
Kangaroos
Port Adelaide
St Kilda

all still need homes.
Some teams that generally bring up some strong feelings still there, get around it!

 

[Charliebrow 16]

I should have my write-up ready and published by Saturday if all goes ideally.

Also if there are individuals still wanting to get involved but who feel they don't have the confidence in their writing ability, I really urge you to do so. I don't believe anyone expects overly formal presentation and professionalism. It's to generate some discussion about our opposition and it will hopefully result in some enjoyable moments with opposition supporters and members of our own board whilst doing so!

 

[LukeParkerno1]

I'll do the Pies for you

Great post! Exactly what these threads are about.

 

[Vass38]

I'll do the Kangas if thats cool Whomb

 

[Kong]

Of course, cheers, though this is teak's baby.

Hopefully somebody can post one today to kick things off.

 

[teak]

I like to think that this is more like an open relationship, so feel free to abuse mod powers at will.
Yeah, would be good to see one up, by the sounds of things a few should appear over the weekend.

 

[Charliebrow 16]

I think my preview might be a little lengthy. Let me know if that's going to be a problem.

 

[Kong]

Not at all.

The board's a bit slow this week, so anything to generate discussion is welcomed with open arms.
