Official 2007 Buddy Draft

[Lach72]

Lach's a no-show at the moment, so I'll take janiek's pick for her:

Scotty-too-Hotty Thornton



Lach has till midnight Monday... milo you're up now, then Freo Big Fella immediately after.

Bugger.
I was going to take Scotty.
Ok. I'll have a look and post in a bit.

Well, with so many choices left, I will go for the sentimental favourite, Sir Robert Haddrill

 

[ImperialPurple]

You may very well have the surprise package of 2007 Lach.

Milo has another hour from now, before Big Fella can jump in.

Doesn't milo have a red card?

 

[ImperialPurple]

I think it may have expired - can you not post with a red card?

Anyhoo, Freo Big Fella is up now, then Kapow!!! either at 10am tomorrow (WA time), or straight after FBF has picked.

Milo has till 10am Wednesday to take his pick before relegation.



Slim pickings now... but anyone of them could be a mover in 2007.

 

[Freo Big Fella]

Might have to take Andrew Foster. After all, Sharks are people too.

 

[ImperialPurple]

Our club has enough of them playing for us that I will begrudgungly agree with your comment Big Fella...


OK here's what we're going to do...

I'm throwing the last 5 spots open. Shaymuhz gets his elevation for the last spot. First in best dressed for the last 5, ie whoever is here first gets to pick, until the last 5 players are taken - it doesn't have to be in order:


Posters
milo
Geoff

(Rookie/reserve: funkyfreo)

Players
26. Benet Copping
35. Garrick Ibbotson



Milo's time still expires at 10am tomorrow (Wed), at which time he'll be demoted and funkyfreo will be elevated and gets to take a pick.


Kapow's time started at 10pm (WA time) last night, and expires at 10pm on Thursday, at which time the next person on the rookie list will get a go.


Everyone else's time starts now, and finishes at 10am on Friday. Any players left at that time will go to the first Freo poster(s) who claim them as their buddy for 2007.

Go for it!

 

[Kapow!!!]

I'll go with Happy Gilmore then

 

[dugrene]

I'll go with Happy Gilmore then

He hasn't many fans our Happy. But i'd like to see him do well this year. When he got his chances last year he got an injury.
I'd have taken him but I stuck with MJ because he was still available.

Hope you have plenty of reasons to talk him up.

Hear, hear!!

 

[Shaymuhz]

im hoping grandson will rediscover that electrifying pace he has and use it to break the lines and rip teams apart - james walker

 

[Borry]

Chris Smith.

He is a local (from my area) and went to my high school so that's another good reason for wanting him to do well.

 

[Kapow!!!]

Who says Happy doesn't have supporters?

 

[ImperialPurple]

Happy goes alright.

Even if he's not an automatic inclusion, he's one of the guys that will definitely be keeping the "top 22" honest, and getting ready to grab his opportunity when it comes. And that's the beauty of our squad right now. Same with Jimmy Walker. Late picks in the buddy draft but integral to our success in 2007.

 

[ImperialPurple]

OK, getting pretty sad for these two fine young athletes and Warriors of the Purple.

Benet Copping and Garrick Ibbotson await a buddy.

Milo has been demoted - Geoff and funkyfreo... it's all up to you blokes. Well actually, the pressure is on funky (could he still be out celebrating England's big win over the Kiwis yesterday?? ) as Geoff stated long ago that he was happy to accept the last guy left.

So c'mon funky... who's it gonna be? Garrick or Benet.

 

[funkyfreo]

Delistings, lifelines - Copping has it all! Sign me up IP

 

[ImperialPurple]

The Big BC... all yours funky!!

Geoff gets young Ibbo.





All done!!!!!




Righto - we did say there would be a 2-day trade period, so:

(i) If anyone wants to trade their buddy - or approach anyone else for a trade, we have till 5.30pm (WA time) on Friday to make the trades happen.
(ii) You can either trade via this thread, or send PMs - but I only need to know when / if a trade is agreed upon, then I'll change / update the list (ie any trades are nothing to do with me!).
(iii) Use whatever means / sweeteners that you think may work to entice someone to trade with you - but it must be posted here or PM'd to me by 5.30 Friday, or it will be deemed that the fax machine was too slow, and the deadline will pass.
(iv) If you missed out and would like a buddy - you can try and convince someone to share their buddy with you.
(v) If you are successful, let me know by 5.30 Friday and I will update the list to reflect which players have dual buddyship (e.g bushie will be sharing buddy duties of the Great Man with me... ).




Should I start a new thread for this??

 

[Cheetah]

Nah, keep it rolling on this one. I reckon the trade period might be pretty quiet.

I can see a few problems developing here in this fledging co-buddy relationship, bushie.

You see, I love my cat. A lot. Like I really, really do love my cat.

I promise you IP, on my childrens life, that your cat is safe.

I say that because I am certain you are a responsible cat owner.

I like cats too. (Well a little bit.) Just not out here!!

Agree - keep it here.

Fair enough. Feral cats must die - vile creatures that they are.

But my Kasey is beautiful....

 

[ThePope]

Bump. This one probably should be stickied Rip, not the other one.

Just wanted to wish my buddy (can I be really Aussie and say my mate?) happy birthday for the other day. 31 years old and still too short to ride the Bounties Revenge. Onya Pete.

 

[milo]

Looks like I missed out.

Memo to milo: Stay away from the SCP board.
