My 4th or 5th option. But ill take sebit.

But i was the only one with nod first....

imo the best thing a buddy can do is to grab an underdog and be their biggest advocate, so Sebit is an awesome option.

I can't believe nobody has snapped up Fyfe!

 

[vidwhal]

Nicely run draft. Not the best pole position but to end up with the one that will show the most in filling Sergeant Schultz's shoes, and being buddy with 2nd year running, is a nice result.
Cheers Taylor.

 

[mattis117]

I'll go for Chapman, completely missed this

 

[Wray27]

I’ll take “Mr Reliable” James Aish please!

 

[kingswood71]

I will take Luke Ryan off ya hands if no one wants him....
Have a thing for Defenders as buddies

Holy crap it's Playtex sale time (showing my age!!!).

They're all yours.

You get the big unit from Frangastan. Congrats!

 

[Tonga Bob]

Hi all (particularly the buddyless), there's ten players still without buddies. It would be awesome if everyone was paired up, so if you haven't yet decided on who you would like to choose then get your skates on and pick up a buddy. The list is pinned to the top of the thread, so come get y'all buddies!

I’ll take Brodie, he’s got 3 years left on his contract!

Update - 8 to go.

Everyone deserves a buddy.

 

[Tonga Bob]

Last call to become a buddy to a player that's currently buddyless. Still quite a few to choose from as well, from fan favourites like Switta to the luckless Josh Corbett

Come get y'all buddies!

 

[BeinPurplenGreen]

Do I win the award for worst result by a "buddy" before we've even played a game?

 

[FreoGirl]
