Official BUDDY DRAFT THREAD 2009

[skeetz]

The draft will start at 4pm tomorrow (Sunday 11th Jan)

I'll leave each pick for 10mins before I enter the votes by proxy (to let people participate if they want to, even if they have sent me a list).
Anyone who has not sent me a list, and who is not online at draft time, I will leave their pick open for 10 mins before moving onto the next pick. I will then give them 5 mins after that pick as a second chance. If no pick is made, then we will just proceed, and the pick can be taken at a later date if they still wish to participate.

Anyone who wants to be a secondary reporter, wait until the player you want has been chosen, then PM whoever chose him and sort it out between yourselves.
The Primary Buddy can do anything the want, including (but not limited to) assigning the secondary reporter to certain rounds, assigning looking for news articles, etc etc.
Primary Buddy can also politely refuse any offers of help. In this case, if the Primary Buddy is neglecting their duties and fails to post a Player Report for 2 weeks running, the Secondary Buddy can assume full duties.

Please don't post in this thread until it is draft time. There is another thread open for any questions you may have.

 

[Swanny36]

sorry about the 2 PM's i accidently clicked submit message before I was finished....

Didnt read the last line

 

[Snag Breac]

Can we post here now? Good afternoon fellow buddy-hopefuls. We should be ready to start very soon................................

 

[abs_of_STEELE]

This is like the real draft, always running late.

 

[Seeks]

G'day and good luck guys and gals....

Are we allowed to use the old Drafting cliche after our picks?

"I'm wrapped with 'player X' I didn't expect him to fall that far!"

 

[skeetz]

w00t it's draft time!!!
Still waiting for Double07 to take his pick....only 2 mins remaining....
and yes, you can use chilche's

 

[RRRooocccaaa]

So if I calculate correctly, I'm pick 31 which means I should check-in at... 9pm! Blimey, hope you've bought a thermos and some snacks Skeetz!

I'd say it should be mandatory.

 

[skeetz]

Naha hopefully it won't take that long mate, a lot of people have sent me their preferences.
Not Double07 though!
OK moving to the next pick........we have Optimax choosing Swanny!

Now serving refreshments in the Monomeith Suite.

Clever lad! You'll have an easier if busier time of it this year.

 

[reggie]

Now serving refreshments in the Monomeith Suite.

Make sure you serve plenty of alcoholic refreshments to the guys with the early picks so I have something left to choose at number 29!!!

 

[abs_of_STEELE]

Hey Skeetz, I won't be here so I'll just take anyone since I have last pick.

 

[The Royal Sampler]

They should do that in the AFL draft! We haven't had a top-five pick since 2005.

 

[skeetz]

OK it looks like Double07 forfeits
Onto the next the next pick!
Drumroll.....

smiddaz123 has put his lucky hat on and chosen RUSTY SIDEBOTTOM!!
That's a brave pick! I think we are all hoping that Rusty will get some game time next year

 

[The Royal Sampler]

I think it's a safe bet that he'll get SOME gametime this year. I think he might debut round 1, frankly.

 

[skeetz]

OK so I hear DTM is in Tassie......
He did say in the first page of the other thread that he would take Jarrad Blair though.....

 

[didaka]

I think he was after Blight.

 

[Snag Breac]

I think he was after Blight.

Maybe TRS could make an educated guess to clarify?

 

[RRRooocccaaa]

Hey Skeetz,

Would it be possible on subsequent picks to post replies for which players are remaining? That way I won't have to skip from page 1 -> page xxx every so often...

So, for example:-

Pick 3 - Steele Sidebottom (smiddaz123)

Remaining players:-
....
etc.

 

[skeetz]

I think he was after Blight.

Yer that's the one...
OK DTM is going with Blighty.....onto the next pick
Didaka you're up!

 

[didaka]

Pick 5 - John McCarthy

 

[skeetz]

oooo that was unexpected!
I have high hopes for him as well.....as I do for all our young midfielder!

Rrrooocccaaa can I suggest having page 1 open in another window? Then you can just refresh that window

 

[RRRooocccaaa]

What WAS I thinking! Yer right, of course

 

[skeetz]

OK I'm gonna keep it in the family....after following Racer last year, this year I'm going to back it up and go with Heater!! I am hoping for massive things from Heater this year, possibly a move into the midfield, more responsibility taken as he grows one year older.

Go Heater!!!
