    And Travis Cloke.

    I love it when King plays against us.

    Eight of the 16 Eker club representatives are gone, with Hansen likely to make it nine. This is a horrible time indeed for our cause.

    Wiggins, Harding, Playfair and Callan have 'retired', Leigh Fisher, McMahon and Cameron Cloke have been delisted and Jamar is no longer an Eker due to his All-Australian selection.

    How does Koshitzke manage to fly under the Eker radar ? Might not look an Eker in the true spirit of Ekemanship but has played his career out like the finest of Ekers.

    Close but I think his very shot peak period was too 'star' like for an Eker. The majority of his career has definitely been Ekerish.

    This should be one of the criteria for ekerdom -- most of your highly-rated ekers on this thread have had short star periods (Farren's one great final vs. Collingwood for example) and then managed to eke out half a decade or more on the fringes of AFL lists as coach after coach try to rekindle what they are sure they saw in those few wonderful moments.

    We can now add Wayde Skipper to this destinguished list- A big hearted Eker with very little talent. As tends to be the Eker way, his last season of AFL football was easily his best.

    We salute you Wayde!

    Haha, yeah I think Kosi's peak was a lot stronger than Ray's (and while short, it did last more than one game!).

    A very sad day losing Wayde Skipper

    I have a feeling we haven't seen the last of Wayde Skipper.
    Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

    Where do you think he'll end up?

    I think the new interchange rule has made Wayde a more appealing option they he may have otherwise been.

    Yup, I'd be very suprised if he wasn't on a list next year. If we offloaded Will we may have even had a look

    He would have to come back onto our list for the next 3 seasons before he would be eligible.

    He would just get in the way of Roughead, Cordy and Prato's development.

    I wasn't being serious.

    Didn't we draft him in 2000 though? If that is the case then for arguments sake we re-drafted him this year wouldn't he be eligable.
