Hi everyone,
with the first bounce of our season (I am sure you are excited!) little over a week away it's time we turn our attention to the weekly match threads.
We are seeking keen Geelong supporters who would like to write a preview for a given week's clash, and I'll be creating a roster for this. We were fortunate to have great commitment from everyone to this last year, thanks so much to all who contributed, and hopefully we can have some great previews again in 2013.
I would love expressions of interest from anyone who would like to write a match preview. I have posted the fixture below so that you can indicate which game you would like. At this stage we will do one game per writer, to keep it open to as many people as possible to join. If we still have free spots on the roster after that and anyone wants to write a second match, then you can.
So what is needed in a preview? Good news is you can make it whatever you want it to be. There's no prescribed format, or length. What we want you to do is provide some thought and analysis about the game, how you see both sides, what you think the matchups might be, what you think will be critical to the game, and who will win and why. You can include pictures too if that's the way you'd like to write your preview. The previews don't have to be long either, generally a couple of well thought out paragraphs will make a good preview.
If you want some examples of great previews from last year, check out MC Extra Dollop in round 9 against the Doggies

and Rosso in round 21 vs St Kilda

Now we don't expect your previews to necessarily be as long as these, but they are a good pointer as to the sort of content you might want to cover in your preview.
It's fun to write a preview, and we'd love for anyone who wants to have a go at it to do so.
Once everyone's registered their interest, I will collate the final roster and post it in this thread.
If you have any questions feel free to post them in this thread and I will do my best to answer them.
Kind regards
