Mitch Morton?

Perhaps we should call this whole category the Mortons!

Mike Sheehan eked out a great career in the media after playing the odd game at Werribee

[Sedat]

Can we have a category for those who eke out a career by living too much on their talents? They have a tantalising quality that the true ekers lack.

What about we call them 'coasters'? They would be the bipolar opposite species to the 'eker', relying on superior talent to prolong their career.

Josh Hill?

Hence why Aaron Edwards has been a 'coaster' his entire career to date

Brilliant.

That is just too good.

Despite making 13 changes to their list, James Sellar managed to survive the Demon list carnage for at least another season. That is a truly remarkable feat of ekerism considering that he has no discernible talent whatsoever and isn't even overly tall.

I think Ben Hudson deserves a hall-of-fame eker nomination after retiring twice at two different clubs, and still being in line to get rookied by another club:

Far too good/valuable to be an eker.

I'd love for this to happen. It seems so appropriate that he'd start again, again.

Nathan Lovett-Murray just got a contract extension and will have had a 10 year career by the time his next contract is finished. Considering the amount of games he plays as the sub, it's more like a 3 month contract extension in real time. The game's first 'sub-eker'?

If we actually recruit Brent Prismall he would elevated up the list of Ekers , third Club over 7 going on 8 years , 61 games with an average of 9 games a year , 2006 on his debut for Geelong he broke his arm only 8 games , 2007 only five games and broke his wrist , 2008 11 games and full knee reconstruction , end of 2008 somehow got traded for Pick 39 to Essendon , 2009 came back from his knee injury 13 games , 2010 inconsistent form but managed 15 games , 2011 just 8 games and another full knee reconstruction , 2012 no senior games

Nice post Sedat

Does Cameron Schwab deserve an Eker rating for offering bugger all over a long period of time and somehow surviving?

To me he would be a monty to win an AFL Survivor series if it was ever on TV.

Until now we hadn't covered administrators, but thats a damn fine nomination. Hats off.
