Win Prizes Season 2023 Game Previews

[Tonga Bob]

​

Greetings wordsmiths, shoopers and avid readers alike,

We're doing the Game Preview thing again!

You should know the drill by now, but if you don't then here's the skinny...

Since 2017 many brave yet foolhardy souls have been the standard bearers for the Fremantle Football Club when it comes to irreverent yet informative previewing. Righteo was the initial architect of the concept, and since then many of us have saluted in the most creative of ways. From the poetic melt of Arcassius in 2017, to the * magpie noises * of 2018, the audio-visual Mayne course provided by Chef TheInjuryFactory in 2019, the frothy inspiration provided by Square Peg in 2021, and the joint triumph of Gekko71 & Piggy Smalls last season, the Freo faithful have collectively given great effort in the pursuit of providing the board with knowledge, wit, creativity and half-arsed prophecy. So it only seems right to run the concept back up the flagpole to see who salutes in 2023.

If you think that you have what it takes to provide your fellow Freo fans with a preview for one of this season's games, or if you've done the needful in the past and thought to yourself "I'm ready to serve my community once again", then now's the time to put your hand up and claim a slice of the 2023 AFL season as your very own to preview.

The criteria for previewing remain the same:

• Reply to this thread to sign up for any match you'd like to preview in the upcoming season. First in, best dressed, so if you want a specific match try and get in early, and I will update the below fixture accordingly;
• There is no criteria to sign up apart from being a Freo board poster, you don't have to have been a poster for a long time or have made a lot of posts, but just make sure you're in a position to write one when it's your week. If you can't do it when the time comes, let me know and I'll probably sort out a suitable punishment and/or replacement;
• Have fun with the preview. Make it interesting, it doesn't have to be written under a certain guideline or include x,y,z- write it the way you want, use pictures, videos, whatever. A good dose of humour never hurts either;
• This is a competition, so previews judged the best by your peers (most liked, how else do you quantify "best" on the internet??) will join Arcassius TheInjuryFactory Square Peg Gekko71 Piggy Smalls and yours truly as official Fremantle Posters of the Year, and will receive a shiny badge that looks like this:
  
  (which one day we'll upgrade to look a bit shinier).

You want a chance at redemption?

Gather Round at a suburban park versus gold coast in front of seventeen croweaters and a toothless dog, this preview writes itself. But in case it doesn't, I'll take it please Bob.

I'm disappointed that it wasn't called the Jack Reacher Round, but it's yours.

 

[mattis117]

Easy choice, I want Round 1!

The Ross Lyon Community Shield is yours.

I’ll take the bye

 

[mattis117]

The Ross Lyon Community Shield is yours.

To be honest, I watched our last game vs. St Kilda on Tuesday and it's just too good of an opportunity to miss, I felt so sorry for them, they needed the win to make the 8 but we crushed their souls and they reacted by losing it at the umpires. Such a classic now. Good times.

 

[Tonga Bob]

I’ll take the bye

All yours. Hope Gekko71 takes the news well.

 

[dockerfemme]

I will take anything as long as it is May or after. I will be too busy swanning round Europe before that.
