    I think Bob Rose has that distinction, but I wouldn't count him because he made about 15 grand finals.

    To think he's shorter than Pendlebury and Watson and has held down KPD and ruck duties for as long as he has, that's a fair effort in itself.

    Surely elevated to 'Legend' status in the Eker HOF once he retires?

    Re: Ekers

    Would being a high draft pick add more gravitas to achieving Eker greatness or being a rookie pick up?

    Ekers don't attract that level of off field talent

    Most games coached without winning a Premiership:

    John Northey 315
    Rodney Eade 314

    Can I be a touch facaetious and suggest that this was the real reason Rocket didn't coach out last season?

    Re: Ekers

    We've lost another eker legend today with St Kilda announcing Brett Peake has been delisted.

    Dean Polo is another eker to suffer the same fate in a St Kilda post Ross Lyon eker cull.

    If you have to ask yourself, who? then it means the label 'Eker' can definitely be applied.
