All honour, Tim Callan.
Pick no 36 (father/son) in the 2002 National Draft.
Retires 8 years later with a mere 34 games to his name. His last three games were all finals.
An Eker of the highest order.

Zac Dawson gets the Shane Ellen medal for the GF replay after his job on Cloke.
With list lodgments not too far away, we will see a massive changing of the Eker guard.
The Ekers have lost another with news big man Jason Laycock has been delisted by the Bombers.
Selection 10 in the 2002 draft, Laycock managed 58 games in 7 seasons including a grand total of 0 in the past 2. Jason we salute you!

True, but it is also the time when two of history's greatest Ekers get to shine!
Ricky Nixon
Carlton 1983-1985, 4 games, 1 goal
St Kilda 1986-1991 51 games, 32 goals
Hawthorn 1992-1993 8 games, 6 goals
That's an eleven year career at three clubs for sixty three games. And he actually left St Kilda because of a contract dispute. The man was magnificent.
Craig (Ned) Kelly
Collingwood 1989-1996, 122 games, 43 goals
He pinched and he punched on every day of the month and his own teammates have claimed that no player in history has played more games with less talent.
Any Eker who uses any other manager is a fool. These two have been there, done that, and are still bloody prospering twenty years later.
Is it any wonder that Ricky Olarenshaw moved into player management?
Surely Liam Pickering gets a guernsey???????

I feel we need to take a moment to appreciate a much underrated Eker- Todd Ridley
Essendon (1991-1994)
25 games, 21 goals
Fremantle (1995-1996)
21 games, 16 goals
Hawthorn (1997)
2 games, 0 goals
7 seasons, 3 clubs, less than 50 games. Also has a claim to fame of being Fremantle football club's first goal kicker.
