Universal Love 2026 Freo Buddy Draft (Now including coaching staff!)

serial_thrilla · Jan 30, 2026

Let's go! I've used a random number generator to determine the draft order. When it's your turn, you'll have up to 24 hours to make your pick (otherwise you go to the back of the queue).

With pick number one, we have Falconista. You're on the clock.

Best part of the Buddy draft is giving love to the loveless.

We've got plenty of time until Round 1. We'll survive as long as Tonga Bob doesn't go too crazy with the AFL Media satire.

Falconista · Jan 30, 2026

H.Chapman or B.Banfield.... Banners or Chappy....who of those two deities do I pick?

With pick one, my 2026 buddy is: Heath Chapman. Now stop adding pins to my voodoo doll, Tonga Bob!

GingerDocker over to you.

GingerDocker · Jan 30, 2026

I've been a Big Boy Darcy sponsor forever, but I'm moving over to the new enforcer...I select Patrick Voss.

All yours Midnite65

That is a shock at the top of the draft, Twomey did not see Chappy coming.

Thanks thrilla, I just want to give you a bit of an insight into the Buddy Draft team. We’re a bunch of unique individuals – Snuffaluphagus, Bastyy, Cesoir, Piggy Smalls and myself. We’re gonna engage with our minds and our hearts. We’re gonna exchange ideas, thoughts and even our energy. And to speak from your heart you need to have courage. You need to be honest and authentic. We’re not always gonna get it right. And sometimes, you’re not going to agree with us. But that’s okay, because just like you we care. Just like you, we’re passionate about the game. So if you want to come along for the ride, join us this weekend, because we just love the Buddy Draft.

#19? Wtf, serial_thrilla? I demand a recount. Where's the evidence of this so-called "random number generator"? This game is rigged.

Look, you even made this little girl cry! There's definitely nothing else she could be crying about...

Get out!
