Juddy like is first up.

[happy_eagle]

and i get who evers left over

[juddy_Like]

With the 1st Pick in the 2008 WCE Sponsorship draft, Juddy Like selects young Claremont KP Backman

#16 Eric McKenzie



As iv said before, i reckon E-Mac is our most promising youngster on our books and will take great interest in his developments. :thumbsu:

[Stenglein's a Champ!]

Taking him off my hands eh?

Good luck.

[kane249]

Interesting pick there JL, time will tell if it pans out for you.

[Big Man]

Bold move JL, I like it. :thumbsu:

Still, should have taken my girls though...

[Keyser Soze]

Oops. Just noticed this.

Sorry heals:o

[CaffeinatedMop]

Quick question: is it 24 hours from the last pick or 24 hours from the next day?

[kane249]

Quick question: is it 24 hours from the last pick or 24 hours from the next day?

When we did it last year it was since the last pick, not sure how heals wants to run it this year though

[heals]

When we did it last year it was since the last pick, not sure how heals wants to run it this year though

From when the last pick was taken , so the draft period for bassmanx runs out at 4:49 WST tomrrow.

[ashley12]

From when the last pick was taken , so the draft period for bassmanx runs out at 4:49 WST tomrrow.

fair enough then

[bassmanx]

With pick number 2 bassmanx takes the footballing God himself...

#44 David Wirrpanda

Strength on and off the field personified.

http://westcoasteagles.com.au/portals/0/images/players/eagles/David_Wirrpanda_Small.jpg

[Keyser Soze]

With Cousins and Judd gone we need this guy to step up in the midfield to help cover the hole they've left.

With Rojo gone the haters have lost their scapegoat and I suspect this guy will be the most likely replacement for the Rojo groan.

He will need someone to defend him on these boards and urge him on to rediscover his AA form.

With pick #3 I select the human dartboard

#7 Chad Fletcher

http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff278/Keyser_Soze_BF/AFLB-WSTm.jpg

Bring it on haters.:cool:

[greennick]

With pick # 4 I have decided to take one of our out of state draftees under my wings.

So, with it being a choice between Selwood jnr and Ebert, I figured Selwood has his brother, so Ebert most needs the love.

Therefore, my selection for pick # 4 is Brad "the South Australian Sensation" Ebert. Hopefully he will be able to crack a few games in the senior side this year for me.

Bath in his eternal glory:

[Father Jack]

I don't like my chances of Josh Kennedy dropping all the way to dark, dark depths of the draft order where I lurk.

Not to worry, I was really just looking for an excuse to bookmark the thread.

As you were.

[kane249]

Cool so at 11:28 tomorrow this will roll over to my pick if theReaper is not seen from

Mwaaa hahaha

Thats a very brave move, well done champ :thumbsu: :)

If a certain player slips to 13 I might be in the same boat soon :cool:

[heals]

The reapers pick expires at 11:28 today then it moves onto Kane249.

The reaper can come on at any stage and select his player.

[Willow_2000]

10 minutes remaining. The question is... Will he make it?

[heals]

Kane249s draft pick now

[kane249]

With my pick i choose

The 3 time All Australian
The premiership player
The new Vice-Captain

The Coxinator
The Coxsmith
The Cox of Seagulls

The one and only

Dean Cox

**Note: I'm proud to announce i'm co-sponsoring Dean Cox with WCE57 in season '08****

[Scotland]

Scotland is concerned his 9th pick may fall over the weekend, when he is not at work, and consequently not wasting time posting on BigFooty.

Use your full 24 hours people! :)

You could always PM heals with your preferences when you pick comes up

[Scotland]

You could always PM heals with your preferences when you pick comes up

Indeed I could. Good idea, you aren't just (or even) a pretty face.

If only RoJo were still around, I could just nominate him and know he'd still be there at pick 44.;)

Not a chance, I would have snapped him up with my pick 43 :D

Bloody lawyers, always out to screw the little guy.

Shouldn't you be over in TLC winding up nicky?

[heals]

Liam#9 sent me his preferences and has chosen.... MARK LECRAS.

All the best to mark for a good 08

[wce_all_da_way]

The debate inside my head has raged all week. Who will I pick?

It was down to two, Shannon Hurn and Chris Masten. I haven't been able to seperate them at all. I went to work today thinking I would know by the end, but unfortunately I did not. So, in the end it came down to a coin toss. Heads for Hurn, Tails for Masten. Best of 3.

1st flip - Tails... Masten looking likely.

2nd flip - Heads... all ****ing square which makes me anxious.

3rd and final flip - Tails. Masten it is.

So with that, I pick up Chris Masten as my sponsored player for 2008.

(Note, Hurn is probably my favourite player but hey, I'll let someone else take care of him :))

[heals]

Scotlands go. then larrikin after

[Scotland]

OoOoOh lucky me. Eenie meeny miney moe, catch a n... anyway...

The choice is obvious, in fact, you can't really even call it that.

I select the one, the only...

http://www.abc.net.au/reslib/200405/r20325_49943.jpg

[larrikin]

Well, happy that all but one of my choices are still available (damn you Wally)

With the number 10 selection I decided to choose someone that looks like they may cop a fair bit from the West Coast faithful, especially on this board.

Time for the next superstar











Mr Kennedy

http://www.news.com.au/common/imagedata/0,,5699850,00.gif

[lyall]

With pick 11, I take the future superstar of the AFL Will Schofield.

Looks like a very versatile player, though seems to be spending time down back at the moment

After playing some good footy last year, he looks set to be given more of a chance this coming season.

Proud to be sponsoring Will :thumbsu:

[heals]

So many tough calls here ill make my final choice in 15 minutes

[Kerrby]

So many tough calls here ill make my final choice in 15 minutes
Just as long as you don't take Adam :).

[Isandula]

Hurry up Heals I'd like to pick before I go to bed, wont be on much tomorrow or the day after so good time to get it out of the way.

[heals]

Well i had a few players in mind they were Sammy Butler, Timmy Houlihan and Scotty Selwood.

I started off with looking for youth with left me with Houlihan and Selwood, But after sponsoring Mitch Brown i was looking for someone to play more games which left me with sammy who i expect to have a huge year.

So where did this leave me ? Up shit creek without a paddle:(

So after some thought and with the help of a toilet break. Ive decided to sponsor....


SAM BUTLER, get ready to be served.

[Isandula]

Interesting choice there, hopefully big year for the Butler. :thumbsu:

So who shall I choose, either Brown, Staker, Kerr or Rosa.
Ok none are really standing out, frustrating!!! I thought I could make my mind up a little easier!!!

Thinking






Thinking some more



Cancelling Rosa out.



Brown, Kerr or Staker, Kerr, Staker or Brown.





Umm, ahhh, eee I have to go the one the only STAKER :thumbsu::thumbsu:
I like a challenge.

[Goldenblue]

I'll take Kerr, we both share Indian heritage. :thumbsu:

[larrikin]

Amazing that Kerr dropped to 14

[Kerrby]

Amazing that Kerr dropped to 14
<insert amazing Adam Selwood to dropping down to pick 32 joke/>.



Nah, surprised Staker got picked up early, and Kerr dropping.

[Goldenblue]

Amazing that Kerr dropped to 14
Yeah, I was surprised he was still around being such the champion he is.

[Big Man]

YIPPEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would like to say thankyou to the masses for leaving my pick alone.

I pick Chris Judd.

Ah shit sorry, make that Ben Cousins.

DAMMIT!!!

:D

Keys would have an idea as to who I would pick.

The one, the only, MATTHEW PRIDDIS, the tackling machine. :thumbsu:

Try bagging him now. :cool:

[Isandula]

<insert amazing Adam Selwood to dropping down to pick 32 joke/>.



Nah, surprised Staker got picked up early, and Kerr dropping.

That's because he has more talent :)

Nah too easy to pick Kerr (was going) hence the reason why I didn't, I wanted a challenge and I suspect anyway now that this time next year everyone will be worshiping Staker :thumbsu:

[MAG87]

well its my time to pick my selection. surprised he's still around but its probably due to his injury issues. I pick the one and the only.

ANDREW EMBLEY

hopefully this season he wont get injured and will have some fire in the belly to go for the big one again. very passionate player and loves to have a ruffle or 2 (loved it after a wc player cleaned out a crows player was from 2 years back and embley let them know about it. )

[ashley12]

It was a toss up between two players in particular, plus one more had fallen down the list that also came into consideration. However, because most of my junior football was played in the backline, with my selection I choose

DARREN GLASS:thumbsu:

The new skipper of the club, here's hoping he fares better with the rest of his career then two of our previous captains

[Mr Eagle]

I'm taking MICHAEL BRAUN. Now let's have a ****ing great year.

[Jezzza]

WCE_all_da_way I'll be happy to look after Shannon Hurn for you.

Once he was a manchild now he is the man! Really looking forward to Hurn going on to show everyone why so many of us Eagle supporters have big wraps on him.

[CaffeinatedMop]

By my reasoning, Beatlesmith's time has just elapsed.

[crazzzy_grrl]

What pick number are we up to?

[CaffeinatedMop]

[happy_eagle]

With Beatlesmith and theReaper able to jump in at any time and claim their missed pick

no, they should have to wait till last, and give the others who are down the order but have been online first preference

[heals]

Ill update things in a bit, been out since yesterday really, and im buggerd im going to sit down and have a rest then ill get onto it.

[Stenglein's a Champ!]

I don't care about the rest, Adam Selwood WILL be mine!!!!?!?!?!!!!

Every time you post, you make it more tempting to take Adam.

[Big Man]

Every time you post, you make it more tempting to take Adam.

I dont wanna be around if someone takes Adam from Kerrby.

[kane249]

Sorry HE but them's the rules of the draft :p

[happy_eagle]

Sorry HE but them's the rules of the draft :p

oh k

but it is a bit bulshit that someone who dosnt even bother to go online, and misses there go, can still jump in ahead of people who are continuesly online and waiting for there pick in the randomized order.

the people down the lower order are severly disadvantaged already, and now they are letting in-active, and un-dedicated users to still choose before them.

Yeah but HE it's not like they aren't getting punished at all. Take for instace The Reaper. He had pick 5 and now because of the fact he's missed his pick theres been 15 other picks taken after him so he's missed out on drafting those 15 players and will have to settle for whats left. Before he could have picked up a Kerr, Cox, Glass or Embley now he will have to settle for whatever players are left when he finally realises its his pick

[Emerald]

With my pick I choose

MATTHEW ROSA

Thanks very much. :thumbsu:

[QL 21]

I choose the leading machine,

#29 Ashley Hansen

Will have a massive 2008. Go Big White. :thumbsu:

Very good pick QL , very good.

And happy eagle, sorry mate but those are the rules we adopted last year.

[larrikin]

Can't believe Mitch Brown is still available

[SS_Fury]

i might still be able to get my 1st choice yet :D...3 more to go...tick tock tick tock

[Isandula]

Can't believe Mitch Brown is still available

Cant believe Waters is still available, so not right.

[SS_Fury]

Cant believe Waters is still available, so not right.
tis my pick if he makes it...which i doubt :mad:

[heals]

I was so tempted to go Mitch again but i went against it , and chose some new blood.

But i was the inngural (or whatever) sponsor of mitch.

[CaffeinatedMop]

Can't believe Mitch Brown is still available
If he slides 10 more then I'll more than likely grab him.
My first two picks are taken (Scotland took TBQ at 9 and Hunter just went a few picks back).

[Kerrby]

I dont wanna be around if someone takes Adam from Kerrby.
Yeah, you better watch out. Adam is mine!


Also the first post has QL_21 and Emerald both having Matt Rosa as their pick.

[larrikin]

Yeah, you better watch out. Adam is mine!

Looks like you'll have to settle for Scooter Selwood.

[Stenglein's a Champ!]

I will take a man with possibly the greatest first name ever.

The beast that is; Mitch Brown.

http://cache.viewimages.com/xc/76339904.jpg?v=1&c=ViewImages&k=2&d=17A4AD9FDB9CF193C1A11C22297C79F59D3DDE801FE32058284831B75F 48EF45

And the torch has ofcially been past on.

God speed SAC

[SS_Fury]

hurry up eagles06!

[eagles06]

hurry up eagles06!

Yeah yeah. Adam Selwood is sounding good at the moment.
I wouldn't mind one of the Selwoods'. Just which one?

[eagles06]

I think I will take Adam























Well actually I'll take his brother.
With pick #24 I choose Scott Selwood

[Kerrby]

Up to Kerr 4 PM.

[cat21]

Come on Kerr4....
itching to do mine:)

[beatlesmith]

damn, i didn't do my pick. The reason being is that whenever i access bigfooty at home my internet freezes so i can only access it at school, thus i missed my pick on the weekend. Can i still do my pick? If so, i choose Jamie "the prodigy" McNamara.

Heals McGinnity can be added to the list of players to choose from know. Also are you going to add rookies to the list for those supporters that may want to choose one?

We have to include them if we are going to get to 44...

By my reasoning, Kerr 4 PM has 20 minutes before Hawk-boy gets his pick.

[Willow_2000]

Is kerr4 time up now?

[Kerrby]

Is kerr4 time up now?
Yes.

[cat21]

Come on Hawkieboy... I can hear my player calling me......

[Cuzz09]

Oooh Cat21 Im after you.

Are you gonna just go BANG and do yours straight away as soon as Hawkboy does his??

Ive got a top 3 left in case you and him pick one of the ones I want :p

[SS_Fury]

someone pick bonesy, so underrated that guy :thumbsu:

[hawk-boy]

with my pick, i pick the verstile, big game player, with the goal that sealed the 06 granie up

ADAM HUNTER

so stoked he slipped to me, my fav player

[cat21]

With my pick I choose

#5 Tyson Stenglein

Would have been quicker but I finished work early!
