"You elect to be your randomly assigned buddy's "special friend".
You (sort of) agree to keep that buddy's profile up on BigFooty, not so easy if they're stuck in the reserves but an occasional post about them is an order. It is OK to say the post is because you were given them in the buddy draft.
If they aren't selected for the Power say they should have been. If they are selected for the Power but don't play 100% of the game say they should have been, even if they are stretchered off at one point. If they do get 100% of game time say there were things the coaches could have done, positions they could have been put in that would have enhanced their game.
Stalk them on BigFooty, across all boards, by running a search on mentions of their name every 2 hours. Outsource this to a guy in India when you are sleeping or whatever. Ensure all mentions of your player receive an appropriate response, which paradoxically is nearly always an inappropriate response.
Do not stalk them on any other social media, and especially not in real life. That would be weird."
Welcome to the 2018 Buddy Draft.
As before, there will be TWO components to the Buddy Draft. The first stage will be a random allocation of players to the first 50 posters who sign up. I will randomise the list of posters, then randomise the playing and senior coaching list to allocate each poster a Port player/coach.
The second part will be a draft, when I will randomise the same list of 50 posters to generate a draft order. These posters will then take it in turns to select a Port player or coach to buddy for the 2018 season.
A two hour window time will be put up to make your selection between 11am and 11pm Australian Central daylight-saving summer time (ACDSST) ie SA time! If you miss the time originally, just jump in anytime later.
So each poster will end up with TWO Port buddies. You may then trade one or both of these buddies with other posters, or be kind enough to offer your buddy or your draft selection to someone who missed out.
