Enjoy and leave Marty :D;):thumbsu:
Excellent... A very good pick number 7. I can safely say that Maxwell will be gone before me though through Luvlicca. Also there may be a showdown western style between Nick_Savo and Snag_Break over Marty!

Pick 35!!! And you get pick 5!!!
Bastards!
:D
PieLebo87
5 Dec 2007, 15:18
Okay this is seriously screwed, only MY luck can be this bad.
I make it to #2 on a massive list yet the person above me is most likely to take my favourite player because of his nickname.
This isn't fair! I've been Didak's biggest, non stalker-ish, fan since we drafted him, before everyone started seeing his magic!
Didaka :D buddy, pal, :) friend, can you pick Pendles, theres also Cloke, or Heater, or Thomas. They're such star players for the Magpies!
bradrowe#32
5 Dec 2007, 15:20
Maybe we could have a trade week.
I don't know whether to go with some of my favourite gun players or one of the new kids coming through... decisions decisions.
nick_savo
5 Dec 2007, 15:22
Why? If you want different player then you pick them, someone who picked before you would be silly to trade as they could have picked the player they r trading 4 anyways
MagpieGirl_13
5 Dec 2007, 15:29
#16, not bad...
But I think I'm going to have to think of more players outside my top 5, considering who is infront of me. I think I can already rule out getting Thomas...:D
MagpieGirl_13
5 Dec 2007, 15:43
I'm sure that we can all see how much nick_savo wants Marty as his "buddy". Seeing as he revived/created this whole thing, I think we can all respect his wishes & leave Marty for him! Because without nick_savo, none of this would be possible!
Thanks.

I was only joking. Perhaps I'll attach a :D to future posts.
#41, oh awesome. Toovey, here i come
Pick 1: Didaka - Player number 234567 - Scott Pendlebury - Collingwood Magpies
Was very keen on Ben Reid & Cameron Wood, but I couldn't pass Pendlebury up at pick 1.
Dale Didak #134
5 Dec 2007, 15:57
Pendlebury the shock number one pick
Young magpies midfileder Scott Pendlebury has become the first player drafted in the Magpies BigFooty Buddy draft. Didaka, the selectioned, was tipped to take enigmatic foward Alan Didak, but chose the silky midfielder insted. Didak is tipped to be picked up with the second selection.

Was very keen on Ben Reid & Cameron Wood, but I couldn't pass Pendlebury up at pick 1.
You are an absolute star! Thank you :p
Pick 2: PieLebo87 - Player number ****** - Alan Didak
I have to admit, Cameron Wood really did catch my eye but I thought I'd go for a more popular option.
PieLebo87
5 Dec 2007, 16:09
Didak, at #2, follows Pendlebury for Pies
Following an eventful beginning to the 2008 Magpie buddy draft where Scott Pendlebury was selected at number 1, ahead of magical #4 Alan Didak, Didak was chosen with the 2nd pick. 3rd pick is expected to take either Thomas, Cloke or Shaw. Stay tuned for further details.
Do you reckon I could pick up Dane Swan @ Pick 43?
Or Ill just take the players on the long term injury list?
Snag Breac
5 Dec 2007, 16:25
im sure he respects me enough to leave him :D
Say rather, I know my limitations, Nick. Unless you want a report along the lines of;
"...and then Marty got the ball, but somebody from other team tried to trip him up, or possibly foul him, yet the Hound raced on regardless and kicked the ball, I thought, between the tall posts, but apparently not as the guy with the funny hat just waved a flag and didn't do the 2-finger thing...."
you'd better just fight it out with ScottyD.:D
Snag Breac
5 Dec 2007, 16:31
An embarrassment of riches. Don't know who to pick now. I suppose Buckley's beyond the pale?

Cjkribs is able to get inside info on Nathan Brown and I feel that would be good for the board and i'm sure you would all agree, he has pick 33 and I was hoping you decent people could leave Browny for him as the inside info would be good to read on.

I think we are up to SNAG, but someone said he had been on here all night and hadnt selected so to skip him. Therefore it went to Nick, and we all know who he is choosing, so then I guess it was mine, and I went with NICK MAXWELL!!!! So whether or not that has counted as yet, who knows!!!

That was me talking about Snag, and I dont really have much power to skip someone on this board, or anywhere for that matter! But I seriously doubt snag will take Maxwell from you

No Marklar, wasn't stuffing around on board all night, was watching Chasers. Had already posted, but forgot about Tarkyn (BF member), so will remove Lockyer from my top 4, Nick, and also Dyas if ScottyD wants him. Sorry ScottyD, didn't realise.
If anyone is dying for Rocca or Scotty Burns then I'll pick someone else. Am not really fussy. We have a team of young gods. How could I go wrong?
Pielebo, you raise an interesting possibility....
Collingwood - the considerate board.
Righto Snag...
Nevermind the Chaser, it will be the Collingwood Board's War on Snag if ya don't pick soon ;)
I was thinking with your irish background it may be interesting to hear your thoughts on Kevin Dyas, however saying that he will probably stay at the reserves all season so maybe a more avid VFL watcher could provide better reports.
If you are not wanting to dissapoint another fan by picking their favourite player, perhaps pick up Toovey or Lonie... they may need somebody with your passionate writing defending their honour this season!!!

You force my hand, Bloben. Very well, I will stoop to the truth. I would like to get Rocca, but not if someone who has been supporting him for years wants him. I'm a johnny-come-late-in-life and I know my place in the scheme of things. But I don't know anything about either Toovey or Lonie. But Dyas....
He is, like Marty, another son of the Fianna - the ancient Irish company of warriors, whose fighting spirit has been handed down and preserved in the Gaelic Athletic Association. Historically the GAA has had a much more political role than would be usual in Australian sport. The motto of the Fianna is: Purity in our hearts, strength in our arms, truth on our lips. May the lads be ever true to those high ideals.

There have been many people asking, pleading and begging for people to leave their players alone however I do not recall anyone picking Rocca. I think you should be reasonably ok to take the man.
I look forward to hearing about the Colossus of Collingwood
There have been many people asking, pleading and begging for people to leave their players alone however I do not recall anyone picking Rocca. I think you should be reasonably ok to take the man.

Nope is my rdo as thursday are for most people and its school holidays as ive been surronded by school kids all week. Hopefully i dont miss my pick as i need to go out today but im certain savo will put in my prefernce and i reckon ill get my number too
Actually what number are we up to in the draft?
Ok. This is a big decision and one that will shape how I watch football in 2008.
My favourite players are Pendlebury and then Clarke but they are gone. I will be very interested in blokes like Reid, Dawes and Dyas however I can't get to too many VFL matches so won't be able to offer much.
There are guys like Cloke, Heater, and Goldsack who came into strong consideration. However the reason for my pick is that the only way we can improve on 2007 is to be strong in the Ruck. A fit Fraser is very important however the thing I am mostly looking forward to in 2008 is finding out if Cameron Wood will be our knight in shiny armour.
Therefore I formally select with Pick 7 to become Bloben's Buddy
Cameron Wood
