WXV 2018 Milestone Players

Purple 77 · May 08, 2018, 08:12:25 PM

No centurions in this round either!

Round 7 Milestone Players - 50 games

Jason Johannisen (Tokyo)
Draft Origin: Pick 73 (Round 5) of the 2012 International draft selected by current Cairo co-coach Nige.
Club History: Cairo/Pacific/Tokyo

Jake Lloyd (New Delhi)
Draft Origin: Pick 16 (Round 2) of the 2012 Preseason draft selected by current Seoul coach JBs-Hawks.
Club History: Seoul/New Delhi

Jared Polec (Mexico City)
Draft Origin: Pick 301 (Round 17) of the original draft selected by former New Delhi coach FisherSaints.
Club History: New Delhi/Sao Paulo/Beijing/Mexico City

Ben Brown (Cairo)
Draft Origin: Pick 65 (Round 4) of the 2013 International draft selected by former Toronto coach rooboys.
Club History: Cairo

Ben Brown is a good one that week for two reasons:
- 1 club player after actually being taken by Toronto originally
- first 3rd round draft pick or later selection from any of the International drafts to reach 50 games... I think. Then JJ went and did it too!

Jake Lloyd also has a very unique origin! Not only the one player of note in that draft of 17, but joins Callum Sinclair as the only ones still playing.

Benny!

Also JJ was a classic Cairo selection that came good after we traded him, but we had the foresight to select him because we knew he was gonna be good and then made the fantastic decision to trade him. :P

After Berlin come painfully close, but ultimately fail in their long quest for the holy grail, big changes are going to be required. Along with acquiring your favourite player (and top 10 forward for the next decade), you will also have the opportunity to set up your future AND remove the Fyfe/Gawn captaincy dilemma every week. That's a very tantalising proposition if I do say so myself!

And then you can trade Jesse back to me the following season when he's wearing Purple.

Round 9 Milestone Players - 100 games

Isaac Smith (Seoul)
Draft Origin: Pick 141 (Round 8) of the original draft selected by former Wellington coach pothead.
Club History: Wellington/Toronto/Buenos Aires/Seoul

Jack Ziebell (New Delhi)
Draft Origin: Pick 108 (Round 6) of the original draft selected by former Toronto coach rooboys.

Jimmy Webster (Buenos Aires)

Brandon Matera (Seoul)

An interesting mix! Webster finding his best form in his 50th, whereas Smith & Ziebell notch up the ton... without exactly being premos, but certainly good servants.
