Preview Weekly Preview Sign-up Thread - 2024 Edition

[Keys]

Preseason is done and the real thing starts this week if Round Zero counts as a start. But only for some, West Coast among others have to wait an extra week

What that means is we are looking for sacrificial lambs volunteers to put together our weekly preview threads which like the team’s fortunes became somewhat haphazard in their timing. Enthusiasm for them waned as the 2023 season rolled on which tbh was understandable

I contemplated the idea of only looking for victims a week or two out from each match but have stayed with calling for all games in advance with a little twist

To avoid previews going up the night before, or not at all, I would ask that previews be posted up by Wednesday night before the game.

To help, I’ll PM you a reminder with a weeks notice to ensure you are still willing and able to do the preview. If life has got in the way or you’ve lost interest then I’ll have time to open that game up for others who want to have a crack

So, if you’re keen put your name down to have a go and I hope that collectively we can restore our match previews to their former glory as the club tries do the same with our onfield performance

Do they need to be typed or would a smear of flop sweat, bitter tears and vomit be acceptable?

Round 21 Gold Coast please, going to be critical for our finals run I feel.

 

[BrotherDodge]

I've written three previews and they've all been 100pt losses, so let's see if I can break the streak with St Kilda in rd12.

 

[ZergMinion]

I'll take round 24 away to Geelong because I have a deep and abiding interest in pain and am planning to publish the definitive work on the subject.

Or maybe I'm just a fan of comedy- horror.

I think people are too intimidated to follow my preview thread.

 

[Keys]

Since my call for a volunteer for the Collingwood game was so successful, I’m repeating it for the Melbourne game

Any takers?

 

[TY24]

Keys I'm chained to a desk at work for the next 2 days so I'll whip up a Crows preview if you haven't had any takers
