Re: Ekers
Another classic dimension of the asker is to have appeared at multiple clubs
Henderson is far too good to be considered one but if Stanley had played for another two clubs he'd be royalty

Re: Ekers
I think it's best to wait until the end of the DFA periods and PSD before making any eker calls.
You never know who will get thrown a lifeline.

This is true.
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

Exactly. DFA's make for added Ekerness too.

You can be an Eker and play a lot of games, however the legendary Ekers have as low a games to seasons ratio as possible.
The only thing that automatically disqualifies you is having an elite/award winning year.

The AA Guernsey would make him ineligible for ekerness according to Rocco's 'no trophy' rule.

Re: Ekers
Had to find the time to get Shaun McKernan stats:
52 Games ( 38 Crow, 24 games in 3 years at Essendon)
2014 Rookie Draft
2015 Promoted to Seniors list
2016 Delisted and then Rookie draft
2017 will be pickuped again in Rookie Draft , to enter his 10th AFL season next year!
Eker-Xtrodinary! Essendon have found their niche.

Re: Ekers
Indeed a worthy applicant. I don’t think the committee will have any issues in pushing that one through.
Nobody's looking for a puppeteer in today's wintry economic climate.

Surely another club needs ruck depth. Surely. Surely! Surely... At WCE to replace Petrie, at least.

Re: Ekers
This has been one of the harshest list culls in eker history. I can't recall so many fringe ~28 year olds being cut at the end of any other season.

I felt so sorry for Marco at one point that season I wrote to the club to try and encourage him and I got a reply! haha.
Brad Scott often used to say " On his day, Majak is unstoppable". Providing he had paddocks of space to run straight lines in and battler like Marco turtling behind him, that may have just been the case.
Cheesy was in the team at that point from memory. My favourite Bulldog eker of all time.
Sorry, no small club camaraderie for me. I hate North with a passion. It gave me great pleasure to point out that Majak was just a shitruck dining out on even shitrucker opponents.
How could you not love Cheesy Barlow?
