Any Budding journos, or people just happy to have a go.

[ScottH]

2011 match report Roster is now open, if you want to do a report on a game, let Liz or myself know and we'll get you on the roster.

Looks like I've scored the round 1 gig, so who's up for rnd's 2-24???

[ugg]

I'll take rounds 5 and 19.

[ScottH]

Thank You Ugg!!

[Triple B]

I'll take rounds 5 and 19.

...and I'll help him.

[ugg]

Thank You Ugg!!
Now I feel bad. I'm going to volunteer for Round9 against Hawthorn.

[Primmy]

I'm ok with my crappy self indulgent observations for ressies, as long as I can get ugg type backup. I just get the "vibe" not so good on positions....let me know.

Not precious if someone else would like to have a go instead. More than happy to hand over the reigns, and put my two cents worth in anyway.

[Chilcott]

Thank you to all those that complete match summaries and reports.

I wish I had the time to assist in some way, but at this stage, I pass on my apologies.

[Big Al]

I'll do the Swans match on the 1st October.

If that's not available I'll do the Swans v Richmond at the SCG, my as well have a go I guess.

[ScottH]

Primmy, I'm happy for you to stick with the Reserves info. It's usually of more interest than the main game, as less people see it.
Chilcott, NP.
Go Big Al. I'll roster you on!!

It looks like ugg has made us upgrade our standards of presentation Scott. Damn professionalism.

Only occasional back up from me this year Primmy. I suspect that my time will be occupied in keeping two bloodnut grandkids (Miss 6 and Master 5) in check. As they live in GWS land its time to start their Swans football eductation so we have taken up the family membership.

[Doctor]

Hi all. I'm very interested in putting my hand up. Please let me know what's required by reply or PM and I'll take it from there. I've done plenty of writing so I have no issues with taking the role on, I just want to make sure I fit in with whatever is the required standard/format/style etc. I'm also confident I have the necessary critical appraisal skills to do it justice!

Gee I have none of those skills so my piece should be very interesting. ;)

[Doctor]

Hahaha! You're better known on this site than me Big Al so I thought I might need to push my barrow more than you would need to in order to get a gig!

[Big Al]

Hahaha! You're better known on this site than me Big Al so I thought I might need to push my barrow more than you would need to in order to get a gig!

The more the merrier Doc, just let Scott know which game you want and it's yours.

PS: I might need to utilise those appraisals skills you mention when it's my turn. If I write a long piece I tend to attempt the world record for the longest sentence without even realising I'm doing it.

[Frog]

Doctor, say which match(es) and we will pencil you in. No need to sell yourself, you are now a reporter ... ;)

[liz]

Hahaha! You're better known on this site than me Big Al so I thought I might need to push my barrow more than you would need to in order to get a gig!

No barrow pushing required. Regardless of talent, we're always delighted to have new contributors put their hands up. (Not that we're desparate, or anything.) The only real requirement is an interest in - and preferably a passion for - the Swans. Oh, and watching the game you're reporting on always helps (though I suspect is not always strictly necessary).

Just nominate a game that's not already taken, either in this thread or via PM to me or Scott. In due course we'll give you access to our special, secret forum specially for article contributors, where there are instructions on how to submit. There are no instructions on what to write - content, structure, format etc are all completely at the whim of the writer so long as they stay within the broad forum posting rules.

[ScottH]

I have no skills, Just verbal Diarrhea.

Welcome aboard Doctor.

[desredandwhite]

Yeah, just assign one to me at random, apart from the Geelong game.

I'll do my usual half-arsed effort which should hopefully entertain some....

[BSA5]

I'll do the Manuka game if nobody else does. :)

[liz]

I'll do the Manuka game if nobody else does. :)

Done. It's yours.

[ScottH]

5 more games to choose from, so far.

I've swapped to the NM game later in the season.

I decided on that one last night and was gonna pick it this morning, cos I think I'll go to Melbourne for that one. Oh well I'll pick another one! I'll take the Brisbane game the following week. Not sure I can get there or not (my daughter wants to because she wants to see a game at the Yo Gabba Gabba) but I can always do a report from the TV coverage.

[desredandwhite]

Also, I am happy to report on the bye. Might be a little brief though, depending on TV coverage.

[ugg]

Check out post 2 buddy. No queue jumping around here.

[ScottH]

I'll be heading up to Brisbane in a fortnight so I can do that one.

[Wardy]

[ScottH]

Will do.
We have a photobucket account.
Let me know when you have them.

Thank you!!

[Xie Shan]

I don't mind doing a write-up for the collingwood game if it's still available. I'll need something to take my mind off the likely score

If its not raining I am going to do the $2.50 old people's train ride to the ressies Newcastle game. Why? Because I can. I'll make notes.

ugg, can you do your excellent post of this game's players?

[ugg]

It'll be up on Thursday or Friday.

I hope you realise that the Reserves game starts at 12.30 and the Seniors at 2.00pm?

[Primmy]

Yes.

Plan is for radio and ear thingys listening to us get murdered in Melbourne while watching ressies live. However long range forecast has us wooses running for cover. Rain.

Have heard that My Best Boy Kane Murphy is playing.

I'm happy enough to do either the richmond or the essendon game (assuming of course that my previous version met the mark)

[liz]

I think I already volunteered to do the Suns game.

[ScottH]

I've put you down for the Bombers. You can chage that if you like.
And Yes your previous version was well worth the read!!


I think I already volunteered to do the Suns game.

Must've missed that. You're down for that now.
