Round 4 Milestone Men

These players celebrated their 50th WXV senior match in round 4

Chris Masten (New Delhi)
Started his career at Cairo, being going to Sao Paulo and now to New Delhi. Was originally drafted at pick 350 (Round 22) by then Moscow-coach meow meow.

Eddie Betts (Beijing)
Betts has been with Beijing his whole career (can never get enough of these loyal types, I think they need the most congratulation). Betts was originally drafted at Pick 129 (Round 8 ) by then coach bomberboy.

Jay Schulz (Buenos Aires)
Schulz is another that bleeds for Buenos Aires, having never played anywhere else in his 50 game career. Was originally drafted at Pick 362 (Round 21) by then coach PowerBug.

Jobe Watson (Dublin)
Started his career at Cape Town before making the move to Dublin. Watson was originally drafted at pick 42 (Round 3) by then and current Cape Town co-coach My Chumps

Paul Duffield (New York)
A personal favourite of mine, seeing as he started his career at Berlin, before moving to Seoul (in a move that got Berlin Jack Steven), then was traded back to Berlin to win the club Coaches Award in 2014, before again being traded, this time to New York (in a move that got Berlin Adam Treloar). Duffman will always have a place in my heart, and I have no regrets at drafting him at Pick 149 (Round 7) in the original draft. Congrats Duffman!







Just the 5 this time!

Wines has currently played 37 senior WXV matches... which is a little nuts.

:o! I would've thought he'd be a bit closer than that! Still not bad for a 20 year old 8) Hopefully he can get there this year!

Well, considering there is 17 WXV matches a year plus finals, I reckon that's crazy haha. But the number does seem smaller than what I first thought too.

I didn't think of this :P That means he'd played every single WXV game between his debut and his Rd 3 injury! Which is huge when you put it that way 8)

So many last week!

Round 5 Milestone men

These players celebrated their 50th WXV senior match in round 5

Andrew Swallow (Toronto)
Andrew first played for Beijing before number one fan (unconfirmed) Toronto coach rb organised a trade. Swallow was one of the initial super 18 group selected in the first round (Pick 16) in the initial draft, by then coach bomberboy.

Dayne Zorko (Christchurch)
Dayne's been everywhere man. Started his career at New Delhi, before being traded to Toronto, then to Berlin and then finally to Christchurch. Zorko was originally drafted all the way down at Pick 228 (13th round) by then coach FisherSaints.

Dion Prestia (Cairo)
Dion started his career at Pacific before moving to New York and now to Cairo. Prestia was originally drafted 6 spots before Zorko at Pick 222 (13th round) by then coach c4v3m4n.

Heath Shaw (New York)
Heater started his career at Moscow but now brings up his 50 with New York. Heath was originally drafted at pick 46 (3rd round) by then-coach and current Christchurch coach meow meow.

Ivan Maric (Mexico City)
Can't get enough of the one club 50 gamers! Ivan is a Sun through-an-through, and was originally drafted ALL the way down at pick 265 (15th round) by then coach Maca24.

Jack Steven (Berlin)
I saved this magnificent stallion from the clutches of his first club in Seoul, before he went on to break out to the player he is now at Berlin. Steven was stolen at the original draft at pick 163 (10th round) by then coach ossie85 (I think I've said that quite a bit about ossie... I think he drafted pretty darn well). 

Luke Parker (Tokyo)
But if you thought Steven was a steal, then check this out! It is no wonder Parker is a one-club 50 gamer, because the amount of sentimental value of drafter and current coach Boomz would have for him would be huge from his pick... wait for it... 343! In the 20th round! I reckon this is the biggest steal I've recognised as playing 50 games so far.

Marc Murphy (Rio de Janeiro)
Marc Murphy is the second player from the original super 18 we recognise today for playing 50 games, after playing for Wellington before bringing up the milestone for Rio. Murphy was the 4th overall pick by then coach pothead.

Nic Naitanui (Moscow)
And now we recognise three! Nic Naitanui was the 11th player picked in the original super 18, and along with Gibbs and Priddis from that group, has stuck with his club the entire time. Naitanui was drafted by then coach meow meow.

Sean Dempster (Christchurch)
Probably our most unique milestone man, Dempster brings up his 50 after playing for Cairo, Wellington and now Christchurch. Dempster was originally drafted... *squints*... at Pick 585 (33rd round)! I think that could be the lowest so far... but may be wrong. Dempster was originally drafted by then and current Cairo co-coach MajorLazer.

Steve Johnson (New York)
Stevie J started his career at PNL, before making the switch to Buenos Aires and settling at New York. Johnson was originally drafted at Pick 59 (4th round) by then coach HP.

I somewhat shamefully have a certain melbourne defender that's about to hit 50 games; all played for me  :-X
