Re: Ekers
One time I saw Dan Currie drop an uncontested chest mark on a light lead, then trip over his own feet and wind himself by falling ribs first on the ball that he just dropped.
He then got pinged for holding the ball.

Re: Ekers
I'm honestly shocked that Currie not only lasted as long as he did at three clubs over his career but he never notched double digits at one club.

Big Tiger announces immediate retirement - http://www.afl.com.au/news/2018-06-2...ate-retirement
Shaun Hampson has succumbed to a chronic back condition and retires after 98 games with two clubs over 12 seasons.
If that doesn't put him into the Eker hall of fame then surely his long term relationship with Megan Gale puts him over the edge.

Re: Ekers
Less than a hundred games over twelve seasons is bloody impressive ekering.
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

Port- Tom Jonas
Tigers- Shaun Hampson
Saints- Sam Gilbert
Swans- Callum Sincliar
Eagles- Fraser McInnes
Bulldogs- Tom Campbell
Looks like it's going to be a sad year for the Ekers, by my count we've already lost 3 and probably going to lose 2 or 3 more.

Re: Ekers
Has Majak done enough to elevate himself from Eker status?
Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

Yes, i think so
And Shaun McKernan with a two year deal - perhaps hasnt elevated himself but has Eke'd his way to close to a decade of employment

Re: Ekers
I think Kyle Cheney is a pretty reasonable player.

Re: Ekers
At one stage Dawson Simpson looked like he may elevate himself above Eker status too

Dawson Simpson nearly got me and my son into a punch on against GWS last year. At quartertime a guy walks past wearing a #26 GWS jumper and a mate of mine yells out "good on you Dawson!"and this guy turns on his heel and wants to take the 3 of us on!
We calmed him the *!*!*!*! down after a bit but wanted to taunt us about winning flags first. "Ummm, you don't get to do that mate. You blokes jibbed it when it came to it. And now they will miss out bigtime"
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

Re: Ekers
I'm conflicted, is there a status over or above that of the Eker?
I believe the Eker exists on his own continuum within space and time, and once a player is considered an Eker the status to which you, I, or the regularly playing footballer refers means very little to them.
Nobody's looking for a puppeteer in today's wintry economic climate.

Re: Ekers
Does Honeychurch become an eker if he gets picked up by another club ?
What would be more prized, a one team eker or multiple team eker?
