Weekly Player reviews

[tigertiger]

I saw this on the Carlton Board and reckon its a great idea "Carlton Buddy" program

http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/showthread.php?t=522750

essentially a Richmond player is allocated to someone from the Richmond board and they provide weekly updates on that player things like how they played stats etc.

What do people think?

The people who report would need to watch every game and for fringe players it would need to be people who go to burgers games

I'd be up for it, but maybe have two posters per player, because not all of us can watch 22 games plus potentially finals... (Although it'd be safe to say we'd all watch the finals )...

 

[Accepted 04]

Good idea, I would do it.

 

[Cousins_Tiger]

I agree great idea at least 2 posters per player would be ideal maybe the mods could set this up in a sub folder if enough people are interested

 

[one eyedtiger]

Yeah that sounds like a pretty good idea. I agree it should be 2 posters per player though.

 

[Toadvine]

I'd like to take part. It's a great way to increase activity on the board.

 

[getthefooty]

I'd do it.

Shotgun Cogs.

 

[Toadvine]

I think a draft system would be best for player selection.
If not... Shotgun Cotchin!

That is a good idea. If not then I shotgun White. He showed us what he can do last season, he is going to have a great year. There will be bush fires every time he puts on the accelerator.

Btw would the senior players be getting reviews like Richo, Brown, simmo etc. We know that they are in our best 22 and what they can do, so should this be done for the younger players or all players?

 

[tigertiger]

I was reading through the Carlton thread they have been doing it for a couple of years apparently and the biggest problem seems to be people not doing there bit.

So it might be best to break players up amongst individuals but allocate say super users maybe people with a long history of regular use of this board to overseas a group of say 10 players so if the person responsible doesnt do there stuff then the super user can move in and update the player or look for another person to assist.

The more experienced posters here who regulalry go to burgers games could provide info on the fringe players. I think this info is more worthwhile to tigers fans then info on brownie or richo who we read plenty of stuff on in the papers.

To the mods of this board could individual threads be set up under either an existing or new sub-forum to list these names so we dont get trolls weighing in on these posts?

Has this been tried before? is it doomed for failure due to the slackness factor?

 

[telsor]

Sounds like a good idea and I'm interested.

To save on the 'single point of failure', it might be an idea to work in groups... Exactly numbers depending on how many we have interested, but say 4 people watching 6 players.

Groups of players could be either just a breakup ( eg. one vet, one 'gun', a couple of fringe players and a newbie ), or by type ( allowing better comparisons ).

For groups of posters, a range of longevity on the boards and availability would be factors to consider.

 

[tigertiger]

I reckon at best we would get 10 dedicated posters and maybe another 15 that would be keen then drift off or sporadically post

[cormick]

I'd be one of the sporadic ones.

 

[getthefooty]

I'd be one of the sporadic ones.

Ditto, but I'd probably report on most of his AFL games. I probably wouldn't go and watch Coburg so I'd find that harder.

 

[cormick]

Yeah same. I'm gonna try go to some Coburg games this year, but who knows, if I find a team to play for and all...

 

[telsor]

and if your player is playing with the burger magoos...

I recently moved to Brunswick and promised myself I'd try and get to a few Coburg home games, but there is no way I'll do that every week.

 

[CoggaRules]

The Snag can take JON as his player to review.
Let me take care of Petts.

 

[tigertiger]

well i guess we will see if we can get enough people interested.

if your interested just say so on here and if we can get 15 people it would be a goer

 

[deliberate!!]

It will be an interesting read to compare the rundown in comparison to those that constantly watch players.
(Has to be better than the dribble from the papers)

Hope those that do it, take a large dose of reality every week.
Otherwise, this will turn into a Rose Coloured Glasses Fanzine.

Interesting to see who tells it like it is.

------------------------------------------------
I'd take Tambling, if I wanted to put myself through the agony.
But what's the point?
I could write his year now...
2009 = 5/10 year. "Break Out Year Expected in 2010"
Or maybe in 2011, 2012....Just waiting on delivery of confidence

 

[cormick]

Yeah, I don't think you should take Tambling, Delib...

 

[T4P]

I would do it, but I wouldn't be at every game, I would check their stats though and do it. For me it would have to be a regular. I would love to take apart. Dibs on Matty White!! Or Cotchin

 

[jackson_rules]

count me in but i cant do a fringe player as getting to coburg games is out of the question unfortunantly

 

[one eyedtiger]

I shotgunned White posts ago. Sorry mate.

 

[Toadvine]

Hopefully we can get enough people interested.
If it's done half heartedly it will be a total fizz though.

 

[AlexRance]

I'll take part!!!!
I shotgun Foley!!!!!
