Buddy Draft

[dockers_bengals]

I know its early but are we having buddies again?When will the draft be(roughly)?Cant remember last year(way too many beers since then)Will be working away so will need to know early so I can get organized.

 

[Cheetah]

Yeah I'm keen again. Unfortunately I got to retire my Buddy, JLO this year.

Imperial was fantastic and ran it all last year, hopefully she's inspired enough to go again?

Can't start it until after the Draft proper and rookie drafts have been completed though!

 

[Bradesmaen]

Hey Cheetah, go MCarr or McManus will you?

Not nice !!!!! But I get your point.

Last year I think we called for posters to register for the Buddy Draft just after Trade Week... which IIRC was too early and there was too much twiddling of thumbs waiting for the National Draft, then the Rookie Draft to take place...

....so I thought I'd wait till after the National Draft to start taking names, so there's less of a wait between go and woe. Then there's just a couple of weeks till the PSD (which we may be a part of this year) and the rookie draft.

I'm happy to do it again if no-one else is keen; also happy to hand it over if anyone else is dead-set on running it this time around. I wouldn't mind getting the actual draft underway on the Monday after the Rookie Draft takes place (which I think is 12th Dec).

I'll start calling for names around the time of ND - first 44 to say "I'm in" will make up the list. I would urge people to make sure they will be around to post occasionally if they plan to take a buddy. The last couple of years there were a fair few who grabbed a buddy and promptly disappeared for the rest of the year....

Will be interesting this year, as we will be potentially adding 10 new faces to the club (that's not including the potential rookie-ing of Dunn, Collard, Mourish). 10... that's huge.

Anyway - a lot more details will follow in the next couple of weeks...

I think you will be it as You do such a superb job(just crawling early for a good pick).I'm going to struggle to be on the net from nowso thanks for the heads up.yes maybe if a few posters notice the culprits pop up again we can deny them or the regular posters have priority somehow,just an idea but we don't want it any harder for I.P. than it already is.

"I'm in".

 

[theGav56]

go and woe.

Woe is now totally retired isn't he? Is he still doing some coaching for us? I suspect you may have meant another player; Whoa. He's always horsing around.

 

[Kapow!!!]

I'm in again

 

[pistol17]

Count me in too

 

[prattsta]

Yeah I'll be in this year, i need all the buddy's i can get....

 

[masai]

I'll go around again.

 

[tripple1zero]

Can someone explain how this works?

 

[prattsta]

Basically you put your name down, it is then forwarded on to the club. Names are selected at random and allocated a 'buddy' (listed player). This player then lives with you for the entire season.

 

[Brumbies]

Yeah i anit taking Brocky again he was a messy F#@k#r. Plus his cooking skills were nil
Ill go in again hopefully get a cleaner person.

 

[Wizard]

Count me in this season.

 

[Reveler]
