Ben Reid... probably one of the more underwhelming Round 3 picks of the original draft, but well done on a well deserved 50. Whilst Zorko brings up a ton from playing with 5 different clubs!
Luke Parker nearly played 100 just with Tokyo, but brings it up with Christchurch.
Quote from: Purple 77 on April 21, 2018, 11:34:54 AM
New Delhi boys Jack Darling & Luke Dahlhaus the only potential milestone players this weekend, both on track for game 100!
A 42 in game 100 :-X :-[

Jack Darling (New Delhi)
Draft Origin: Pick 266 (Round 15) of the original draft selected by current PNL co-coach Hellopplz.

That's the waaay, it's gonna beeeeeeeeeeeee
Luke Dahlhaus (New Delhi)
Draft Origin: Pick 137 (Round 8) of the original draft selected by former New York coach Sid.
Club History: Tokyo/New Delhi
Following Luke Parker last week, Dahlhaus brings up the ton nearly as a one club player for Tokyo!
No centurions in Round 6, but there was plenty of 50s!

So happy to have prized Gawn off Cape Town before they played him :) Stef Martin price was tough at the time, but I'm happy with how things turned out!
No centurions in this round either!

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
Round 8 Milestone Players - 100 games
Jarryd Roughead (New York)
Draft Origin: Pick 70 (Round 4) of the original draft selected by former Sao Paulo coach CrowsFan.

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.
Hoges is a spud, right? :P
billings!!, ok you've hit 50 out of the form slump now mate

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.
