    Re: Ekers

    Ben Harrison would have to be an Eker.

    And what about Chris Newman, captaining an AFL side.

    Re: Ekers

    Did Peter Quill & Michael Martin play enough games to be considered ekers?

    Damien Peverill is a true Eker, got the best out of his limited talent by spirit & hardness.

    What about Glen Coleman?

    Re: Ekers

    Paul Roos loves Ekers.

    He's even done the unthinkable and turned some genuine Ekers into bona-fide premiership stars, turning Rocco's entire thesis on its head: Brett Kirk comes to mind.

    Other Ekers at the Swans: LRT (110+ games), Rhyce Shaw (120+ games), Luke Ablett (126 games) etc.

    If you're at a loose end, a list of Ekers who are premiership players over the last 15 years would be interesting - I'd bet most flag winning clubs had one.
    Jason Ekermanis played in 3 premiership sides.

    Shane O'bree 240 games one of the longest lasting ekers, Jared Couch 223 games , a classic eker

    Aker, noted similarity in his surname aside, is about as far from an Eker as you would find.

    Ekers don't win Brownlow medals as part of a Fab Four widely acknowledged as one of the best midfield quartets of all time, play 16 years of top-class football and kick countless magical goals, and be remembered as one of the greatest and most influential half-back flankers turned midfielders turned goalsneaks of the modern era.

    Even in '09 he was still in the top 5 for all key indicators at the Dogs (and our top goalscorer!), so he's not even 'eke'ing out his final years.

    McMahon was a junior champ though & a first round draft pick - not sure he'd qualify.

    Re: Ekers

    Troy Luff was a favourite 'eker' of mine from the 90's. He was delisted and re-drafted 2-3 times by the Swans and then proceeded to play his best football towards the latter stages of his career - though not at a level exceeding his 'eker' status

    I'm aware of all that- it was just a play on words!

    Jordy was my Richmond Eker and definitely qualifies. Your footy career before AFL counts for little when deciding whether you are an eker or not. It's all about their AFL career and Jordy is well and truly an Eker.
