Re: Ekers
It really adds longevity to an eker's career if he has some flashy tools in his bag of tricks. If I can still remember a screamer Aaron Black took when he was playing for North I'm sure a lot of list managers do too.

Yeah but Sam Reid is a first class guy. At least it's a bit understandable why he's kept around on the fringes of a list.

Sam Reid will have his 9th year in the system next year. GWS sure love their Ekers.

Ekers seem to good blokes and/or back up rucks.

If they're both they transcend to Super Eker. A Voltron of ekers, if you will.

Re: Ekers
Has there ever been an Eker who's had a bad attitude and a question mark on his character?
Nobody's looking for a puppeteer in today's wintry economic climate.

Re: Ekers
Has there ever been an Eker who's had a bad attitude and a question mark on his character, one if you will, who has survived on the dark side of the Eker force?

Re: Ekers
There must have been blokes in the old days kept on the list for their ability to visit the occasional act of violence. Back in the VFA years Richmomd selected the heavyweight boxing champ of Australia (a bloke called Lang) specially to terrorise Art Gregory the Footscray ruckman.
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

But did he genuinely eke out an Eker career?

This would have been 1908 and Richmond went into the VFL the next year. I've no idea if Lang played on.
I think he had played some footy with Richmond prior to then but not on a regular basis. His talents were only required occasionally apparantly. But he'd already ekered out a career I guess.

Standard reaction to the ridiculous convolution of TD's immense knowledge. He can't be stopped, and I'm happy with that.

I can't remember the guys first name though. Driving me batty. It's literally keeping me awake.
