As we get closer to the AFLW season kicking off it's time for the annual buddy draft for the AFLW team.

Now I have a confession to make, I've only ever been to one AFLW game, so bonus points if you can educate me as you go along by giving your best sales pitch for your preferred buddy/buddies.

There will be prizes*.

  1. To get involved post a reply with your top 3 choices for your 2025 buddy from 1-3 (1 being highest)
  2. I will use the official AFL fixture random generator machine to determine the draft order at least a week before R1 (just kidding, we need it to be random so it will be the BigFooty version)
  3. Players are selected based on the draft order, when your number is up you'll be assigned a buddy based on your highest preference who is still available
  4. As per standard AFL rules there will then be 'adjustments' and favouritism based on whoever provides the best sales pitch **
* The only prize available is selection of your most preferred buddy
** Tonga Bob may pull me into line so this may or may not occur

Now who are the amazing team you have to select from I hear you ask?

Based off memory, or perhaps a visit to the Freo Dockers AFLW Team page, I came up with the following list;

Your job as buddy is to then extoll their virtues, provide emotional support during the hard times and let any one know who will listen (or otherwise) why they are the one to take us to the promised land.
 
I had Dogga on the men's team last two years, and he's having an AA year. I have to get Mimzie again for year two. We're building. I really felt we connected as buddies last year and it showed on the field. In case you forgot, Mim was an AA last year. Coincidence that I am/was the buddy of both Dogga and Strom?

I’ll be happy to have a stable of buddies 😜

Any (or all):

Drisco (she’s been my buddy for the past couple of years, in fact I’ve threatened bodily harm to anyone else who might try to score this bloody legend)

Aish Mac (left the Eagles for us - instead of the gazillions who have gone the other way - plus luck of the Irish plus I love the way she plays)

Gabby Newton (love the way she’s slotted in so seamlessly, plays with class and fearlessness, brings great leadership and a monster sense of humour)

Ash Braz (just love)

Drum roll please..

Best post clearly goes to Daddoo, so congrats on Mim Strom as your buddy.
I don't know if you're the Fairest, but you're definitely the Best, so it's only fair you get our reigning Fairest & Best.

Everyone else left it to the trials & tribulations of the BigFooty random number generator.
The end results are sure to be pleasing though, I don't know if this was orchestrated like the Tribunal but you all played nicely so there you go.

If you missed out don't be afraid to drop us a message to pick up a player who doesn't have a buddy.
If no one takes Turbo I'll feel obliged..

With me as her buddy again, she’ll raise the roof to new heights! Start making that second AA blazer.

PS. I don’t think my name and the word “fair” shows up in a sentence together often…😝😝😝
