    Pfft, any idiot can win hit-outs. I'm more worried he kicked 1.0.

    Yep his 6th goal in his 10 games.

    That's one game for every year he has been on an AFL list.
    Thanks for that. There is a rock-solid consistency about his performances that keeps him in the mix as a leading "go to " option for clubs looking for a back up big man.

    Dan Currie- played his only game on fractured foot... nothing comes close to his eker pedigree.

    David Rhys Jones loved that tap.

    He said in special comments that it should count as a goal assist.

    An Eker you were but proud you will always be

    It always helps to be big if you want to survive as an Eler

    Is an "Eler" an elite "Eker"?

    Giles is definitely a legendary Eker.

    Not many 2017 Ekers look certain to survive - Gilbert, Daw and perhaps Laidler the most likely

    Cheney, walker, McKernan have some chance

    It would be sad to see Currie go. He won the Suns "Most Professional" Award in 2016 and made a very entertaining speech.

    Rumour Gryphone is off to Carlton to finish his final year/s of being on the injury list. If true, he's moving into Eker category.
