Buddy Draft

🥰 Love BigFooty? Join now for free.

Hey everyone,

I usually read this site every couple of days but this is my first post. This buddy draft seems like a fun so I thought I would sign up to help you guys make up the numbers if you don't mind adding a newbie to the ranks. :)

Cheers

Not at all! Welcome. :)

Got everyone up to Matthedocker now (30).
 
yep cheers for the PM IP.. count me in. Sorry I assumed this thread was to do with drafting people who have buddies already on the list - so had ignored.

No worries - can't have anyone missing out! :D
 
As a protest to the banning of Fremantle creative genius I have stayed off the BF boards.

And I am working overseas generally 99% out of internet contact. I'm in if someone wants to generate a player randomly for me. How about the lowest number available when my turn comes around?

How about I stick you in as a reserve at the moment - and if we need to make up an extra number towards the end, we'll add you to the list?

Howzat - I didn't even realise Mish was banned... I thought he stayed away beacuse of the childish and puerile nature of BF... :o Freo posters excluded of course...
 
IP i'l be in if you need the numbers :eek: , but more than happy to be a team player & give up my spot if you get a last minute rush :)

Well it's up to you - you are as welciome to participate as anyone; but I can put you on the reserve list if you prefer.

I'm definitely in! :)

God the wait is driving me completely insane! Bring on the girls in yellow and blue! The Freo boys are gonna start tearing each other apart if the season doesn't get going soon!

6 spots.... 2 if we decide not to include rookies. What do you all think?

Why don't we draft out our senior list and then have a seperate draft to allocate the rookies?. This way every person will have a senior list player, but 4 people will have a senior player plus a rookie.

That sounds like a good idea masai. I've had a couple of PMs from people, so we're down to 1 senior list position. If we get the extra 4 spots later, those people could perhaps go in the rookie draft, or if we don't some people could put their hand up to be allocated a rookie also, and then they'll go into a separate draw.


ONE SPOT LEFT FOLKS... Don't be the one to miss out!!!;)

:D

Can I have the last spot! :D

Absolutely - you're in! :D

OK - time to get the draft rolling! I have found a random number sequence generator at random.org - this will give us our draft order. Check in some time later today to see where you're at.

The coveted #1 postion - who will get it??? (and no you can't trade it to the Hawks... :eek:).



If anyone is still keen, there will be the rookie draft to participate in; so another 4 places are up for grabs for our rookie fellas.

This really was a great idea IP, making my friday a little more bearable at work! Come on top four draft possie! :)
 
OK - draft order has been set. I used the number at which you signed up (see post #2), entered numbers 1-40 into the sequence generator, and came up with the order.

Some people will be delighted (:D ), some people will be saddened (:( ), but remember you are your player's buddy and he is yours for the year - anything can happen! ;)

I will enter the names in draft order in the first post. I guess we'll give each person about 3 days to pick their player, as some people are not on every day. I thought about this, and my first thought was that if someone misses their "deadline", then they would go to the end of the list. Perhaps a fairer way would be that their turn is skipped, and when they return they slot in behind the person whose turn is on at that time.

eg #7 goes away for a few days, and misses his/her turn. #8 and #9 pick their players, and it's now the turn of #10. #7 then returns and so slots in after #10, before #11.

Thoughts?

If someone knows they are going to be offline for a few days, and their turn is coming up, perhaps PM someone (me or anyone else) with 3 or 4 choices, in order, and someone else can make your choice for you, so that it keeps moving along. It would be good to get it finished before the start of the pre-season comp.

OK - back to post #1 in a short while with the draft order!
