2008 Buddy Draft Register

maybe we'll just go right through and everyone who wants to can be a part, just that some players will have co-buddies. I'd hate for it to get all super serious and for anyone that really wants to be a part of it to miss out. It's all just a bit of fun really.....

Let me play around with it a bit and we'll see how it pans out. I've already got a few ideas how we can make sure everyone gets a go. :thumbsu:

Maybe we could have a Dennis Commetti style buddy system. For example someone can be the buddy of ex-docker Jess Sinclair or Leigh Brown or Jeff White or Paul Medhurst etc.

So your job would be to repeatedly tell everyone what a blunder it was for Freo to let them go and how much better they're playing at their new club, regardless of how true it is?

At least then you'd have enough players to go round for all the posters who are putting their hand up for a buddy.:p
 
Ah esti, king of the comeback. And without a single reference to culture or ice or souless franchises or .....

I'm sure your dislike of Judd will return as soon as he starts tearing you guys a new one again.

Hi peppy.

Still farting?:)
 
Now I'm noty just saying this becasue I missed out and am trying to scam my way into a BUddy for the year but I've noticed that other teams, such as Hawthorn, Collingwood, Carlotn and what not, of which there seem to be many more members on their sites seem to have a system that allows for a fair few people to be buddy's of players. Well at least it seems that way.

But as much as I'd like to be part of it all, if there isn't room then i'll sit back and watch Freo win buddyless....that is until I hijack someone elses buddy:D

Good luck everyone, I hope you all get the players you want in the Draft.

Oh and GJ, you seem to like visiting the Carlton Website before the Fremantle one, which seemed strange to me but then it got me thinking. My view is that you are in fact an slime supporter claiming to be a fremantle supporter. The fact your visiting Carltons website, most liekly trying to catch up with all things Judd your ex captain) just seems to prove that point. Had you looked on the Freo website or even this board istead of constantly trying to belittle our players and club you would have known he had retired.

But most intruiging about your whole online persona is this. You NEVER say anything positive about our club, you ALWAYS find the negative in a situation and you costantly criticise Fremantle at any given opportunity. Not exaclty what you call a supporter is it now?
 
I think it would be good to have some discussion about what the role of a "Buddy" is. Partly it means that you are going to keep an eye on your Buddy and do some regular posts about him, especially if he happens to be Des and some other posters get stuck into him.

In the end you need to be someone prepared to post regularly. If you aren't, then offer to partner another poster or player. Just a suggestion.
 
That's a good idea, thegav. We could have a stickied thread called 'Buddy Watch' in which posters would report on their buddy after the game. That would mean posters would have to view the game with one eye on their buddy. This could be quite illuminating for some of the less flashy players (like Dodd foe example) who often don't rate a mention in official match reports...

That thread would be out of control. Too many players to put them all in the one thread. Would be 22 discussions going on in the one thread every Monday morning...

Maybe the first time you post a report on your buddy you call it 'Player X-Buddy Watch'

Then every time you're inclined to write something about your buddy you add it to that thread. Might also prevent 16,472 new threads entitled 'Des Headland' on a Monday morning.

Maybe we could have a buddy sub-board?

I think Des needs a couple of sticky threads for 2008 - one for his supporters and one for the non-believers.

Sub-Board would be a bit of over kill, if all the discussion about players is on the Sub-Board we'll have nothing to talk about the main board...

If Des had a sticky it would make it harder for everyone to back flip on what they said the week before. Anyway that's enough about Des, i don't want to hi-jack this thread.

Exactly and it doesn't matter how long ago they played for us or how long they played for us or even if we didn't want to get rid of them in the first place.

We could even have buddies for ex coach Chris Connolly or ex player managers, development coaches etc.

If no one wants the job I'm sure Gentleman Jeff will put his hand up.

Yes it amazes me how supporters can ride the pendulum from "sack him" to having him in the Best players within a season. Not saying you did this by the way, and it is common to all clubs. Geelong has had heaps of it in the very recent past. The common thread with Headland since coming to the club is that he has not lived up to expectations, which does not mean that he is not a valuable player.

IP - Will we set a cut off date for entry to the buddy system? Also will we have a date when we start picking? eg 30/11/07?
Click to expand...

We'll start picking as soon as the PSD and Rookie Draft are finished... which will be about 10am on Tuesday 11th Dec.

I guess we'll close registration about a week prior to that.


All the rules, + buddy draft order will be posted closer to the date.
