Official 2007 Buddy Draft

[ImperialPurple]

I'll go with the sublime evasiveness of Roger 'The Dodger' Hayden!

No worries... Saw Roger the Dodger in action on the track this morning. Looks very sharp!

Thanks DBT and IP, very happy with my buddy. I think this post a month back clearly signalled my intentions for The Rumbler.

Sadly for Sir Robbie, I expect The Rumbler to be promoted to the senior list pretty early in the piece. Expect updates...oh yes.

"Rumble by name, Rumble by nature"

Awesome - he definitely was always destined to be your buddy!! Looking forward to some reports on The Rumbler as the season goes on...

He definitely has the best name at Freo.

"Ready-to" Rumble
Rumble "in-the-jungle"

"Rumble by name, Rumble by nature" Bewdiful!!


FreoDocker up next (9.40am tomorrow expiry time)... then don't bowl there...

 

[FreoDocker]

Elvis lives.... so I'll pick up Luke McPharlin.

McPharlap is in for a huge year next year and will take a few screamers with tarrant playing king of the pack at training!!

 

[ImperialPurple]

Cyool!! McPharlap is yours FD!

don't bowl there - you're up! 6.48pm tomorrow is when your time expires....

then dominguez, so get ready dom... and sorry, but theGav56 already snapped up Dessie, so you'll have to choose someone else...

 

[dont bowl there]

Well there is only really one guy left that fits the mold of a dont bowl there "buddy". He is a big man with an equally big heart, takes every game as it comes, never drops his head, plays every ball on its merit...hang on wrong game. Plays at the only WAFL club worth supporting, oh yes im talking about the one and only...ROBERT WARNOCK!

Expect this man to be talked up to the max over the course of 2007.

 

[ImperialPurple]

Warn...ock, Warn....ock - has a similar ring to some bloke who bowled a few deliveries at the WACA today...

dominguez (7.45 tomorrow evening), Slick Shoes, brumbies... you guys are the next three...

 

[dominguez]

and the powerball number is..........25.

Steven Dodd.



Surprised Warnock and Rumble have gone before JLo, Cook, Webster and Thornton.

 

[ImperialPurple]

Doddy - surprised he's still here too...


Slick Shoes - 8.42 tomorrow your time expires...

 

[Captain Pump]

Surprised? Or jealous? I think the latter. I am surprised they lasted so long.

Bugger. Had my eye on him with my late pick

 

[Cheetah]

C'mon pick 32, I chomping at the bit!

 

[Captain Pump]

My new slogan for Darren Rumble...

"The all new 2007 Rumbler: Sounds like a car, hits like a truck. Oh what a feeling."

Yep, expect 12 months of that kind of carp.

 

[Brumbies]

Well ive been waiting awhile and am pretty happy that no one picked up my buddy yet so here goes.
My mate coached this guy at Pinjarra and gave him a league berth at 16(I think) and was that rapped about him, was calling him a jet from day 1.
#12 Brock Obrien

This year i am going to try and get to most Thunder home games and keep an I on him

 

[ImperialPurple]

Legend Brumbies!! BO'B it is.

Kenny_01 - your turn. Time expires tomorrow at 11.11pm...

SlickShoes is now in relegation territory. He has till 8.40 on Thurs night to jump in and take his pick, or else FreoShark will get his spot on the main list...

 

[ImperialPurple]

Favour time....

I'm going away tomorrow, and not back till 29th/30th Dec. Is there anyone who wants to continue with updating the draft while I'm gone. It's pretty simple -
(i) Remove the player from the list and place him alongside the poster who picked him.
(ii) Keep an eye on times, so that everyone gets their 24 hours to make their choice...
(iii) and also gets their 3 days to show up to make their choice before getting bumped off the main list...
(iv) at which point the top rookie comes in and has 3 days to make their choice,
(v) and relegated poster goes to bottom of rookie list.


Anyone??? Thanks in advance...

Ip i would be willing to do it tomoorow & friday but then same like you there's this thing called christmas happening

i was going to suggest a moratorium for us all anyway how about a temp christmas closure from say sat/sun(christmas eve) until you get back or new year?

 

[YelloMit]

I can do it until Monday IP.

 

[ImperialPurple]

I can do it until Monday IP.

Great... if you could do it till Monday that would be great... I'm leaving in the morning, so I can keep an eye on it till then, then I'll PM you before I go so we're all on the "same page"...

Then maybe take a break from it after that while people are doing their Christmas / New Year thing...


Is everyone okay with that??

 

[YelloMit]

Sounds good IP.

 

[Freo Shark]

I agree with Janiek, its abit hard this time of year to be around.

Personally being the next cab off the rank I would feel guilty if I jumped in at someones expense because they had a life .

I'm happy with whatever is decided but you need to be clear and upfront with what is happening and from when to when its happening. Xmas to New Years day seems logical.

 

[ImperialPurple]

Yeah that makes sense... should we just call it off from Christmas Eve (Sunday) till maybe 2nd Jan.

Only thing is, I'll need someone to take it on from 2nd - 10th Jan as I will be in Qld during this time.

ie I'm away 21st - 30th Dec; then 1st - 10th Jan....

I am more than happy to "freeze it" from say when Kenny's time expires (11.11pm tonight WA time) till 10th Jan, if everyone is okay with that idea.

Then we just pick up where we left off. ie Kenny has 2 days to take his pick before relegation; SlickShoes has just under 24 hours, and The Joker is first cab off the rank at say 9am on Wed 10th Jan...

Open to suggestions here...

Fine to me and very fair.

 

[ImperialPurple]

Well, after considering the wealth of replies (or lack thereof ) ... and thinking about the ease of trying to give it off to someone for a few days, then have a break, then give it over to someone else for a few more days... and thinking that the fellas all went on holidays yesterday till after New Year... I figured we may as well do the same and suspend this till I get back from Qld.

The state of play right now is this:

• SlickShoes has 14 hours upon resumption to take his pick, before relegation to the rookie list and Freo Shark gets upgraded
• Kenny_01 has 1 day, 16 hours to take his pick upon resumption
• The Joker is able to take his pick as soon as we start again, and then we continue down the list as before
• We start again at 9am on Wed Jan 10th, and continue as before

Are we all okay with that? Hope so. My apologies to all the people who are itching to take their pick... but it's this little thing called Christmas / New Year / Life that kind of stuffed us around...


Merry Christmas to everyone... Have a great one!!

 

[Ripper]

Good idea , wait until after Xmas to resume.

 

[Kenny_01]

So I can pick?? I pick Luke Webster.

 

[ImperialPurple]

Yep Kenny - you're the last one in before the break...

We resume on Jan 10th. If SlickShoes show up, he can pick before during the break, and I'll update afterwards.

Joker is first one on Jan 10th.

Cheers all.
