The official Sam Reid/Daniel Currie Memorial Eker Thread

[EasternWest]

beautiful ode to eker merantau

an interesting stat on Sean Dempster

five Grand Finals – two in his time at the Sydney Swans, and three at the Saints.

not sure if that qualifies as eker but there must be a unique category. his tough no doubt having to go through so close but so much heartbreak. 221 games

Dempster is no eker as far as I'm concerned. He's a good player

Vale Cameron Wood. 12 AFL seasons, 3 clubs, 88 games, 5 kicks a game average.

Solid eker numbers. Well played sir.

Well played in deed. Like Eker hall of famers like Dale Kickett or Jonathan Giles, he also had a state league club stint in between AFL clubs. I think he's a possible Hall of Fame nominee Rocco.

That's some serious eking. Must be a "Simon 'The Likeable'," (out of 'Get Smart') type of personality. Always on hand to pass on a hot tip in the 4th at Dapto dogs or to drive you to training while your BMW is at the mechanics. He's probably picked up more witches hats after training than there are grains of sand on the beaches of the earth. Five kicks per game over 12 years. Almost makes him the Ekers' eker. Must confess I've never heard of him. Any further details re his sub-terranean career most appreciated. A bloke like Cameron Wood deserves to be widely known just like the famous jumps jockey Les Boots who went around about 38 times and is credited with 39 falls.

Picked up as a kid by Brisbane with pick 18. Traded to Collingwood for pick 14. Kept out of the team by Leigh Brown, Chris Dawes & Darren Jolly. Delisted. Played for Willi at VFL. Then onto Carlton. A lot of disappointed clubs, most probably Collingwood giving up a first rounder for a kid that spud second rucks were out shining. But still 4 clubs in 9 years, 3 AFL & 1 VFL.

Interesting article on Les. I did him a disservice - 39 rides, 41 falls.

[merantau]

I remember him now playing for Carlton. Had a Liam Jones-like presence but at the opposite end of the ground to Liam.

Travis Cloke?

Jonathan Giles comes in second

10 seasons, 4 clubs for 58 games.

Rocco, obviously it is hard to challenge the judgement of a man like you who is basically a 'Professor of Eekdom',

However, Does Gilbert of the Saints fit the bill? thats almost 180 games

I would argue that Shane Savage - debuted in 2009 for 53 career games, or Dylan Roberton were more natural selections, or even Nathan Freeman - 4 years no games

Clearly if you are a ruck man you have more hope

[comrade]

Oh, to be a ruckman. Eker paradise.
