Yeah I wouldn't, but with 15 games in 4 years on the list he is probably the closest we have
If you kicked five goals and Tom Boyd kicked five goals, Tom Boyd kicked more goals than you.

Simply astonishing.
Sam Reid embarks on a new chapter of his ekerthon. No longer locked in to a mentoring role in the GWS Magoos leads to the big question - will he add a couple of games to his six year, 25 game total? Or, will he jeopardise his eker status by becoming a permanent fixture in the side? My money's on the former but, good luck to Sam: I hope I'm wrong. Just don't play well against us, ok.

Just on that, I am rapt for Sam that he gets another crack. He was and always will be a favourite of mine.

Re: Ekers
To be fair, wasn't Ash Hansen's career limited by injury? and if that's permissible, then surely Tom Williams is our Eker.

I think long term list occupation with limited outcome due to injury counts towards ekerism or eker status. Rocco?
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

Surely there needs to be multi clubs, like Gumbleton or Currie. Otherwise guys like Williams, Menzel, Clay Smith and Morabito get Eker status which is a little harsh. But if another club takes them, game on I say.

Re: Ekers
I think multiple clubs, or delisting/relistings and rookie'ing are all important components of eker qualification.

Re: Ekers
So should reserve games played be a component of ekerism?

Can I nominate Jarryd Lyon from the crows? If not, he's only a season or two away
