Re: Ekers

Collingwood need a new eker. Alan Toovey would get a game in most sides If not all sides.

Eker does not mean dud! Eker means a player who survives without being a gun. Being in that 'getting into a side' zone makes you very much an Eker.

Re: Ekers

I was thinking Beau but he had a few years out of AFL level. Farren IMO still qualifies as an Eker because he has never hit gun level. However, I will listen to the people and anoint Beau as St.Eker.

Luke Delaney (25yo in 5 days, 2 clubs, 4 years, 38 games) could be a rising eker

Re: Ekers

I'm hoping I'm wrong but I fear that young Andrejs is finally about to break from the ekersphere into being a pretty good player. Actually I hope I'm right Everitt isa good kid with a shit load of pure footy talent. I can remember watching him kick the ball sixty metres to a target off both feet in his first pre-season.


It's a shame we didnt have the Footscray set up back then.

Re: Ekers

Tom Logan recalled for Port Adealide this week, not sure if he is already on this list, if mot I nominate him as a true eker

Re: Ekers

Nice call on Sam Butler. Wouldn't know him if we were involved in a minor car accident.

Another Eker nom is Nick Smith - Sydney.
Rookie pick in 2007
26 - 100 odd games, great shut down defensive stopper, most people wouldn't recognise him from Joe.

Re: Ekers

Are players with ambitious haircuts statistically more likely to be Ekers? Christian Howard ( sorry fella )
Howie has been hanging around for a fair while now without doing a great deal. Does he qualify?

Has only played 20 games, so I would say no.

I'd have Ayce Cordy well ahead. Soon to be 24, 6 years on a list, 19 games, and still has another year to run on his contract. Potential future Eker Hall of fame member.

Nah Nick Smith is a gun, doesn't ever lose and is an underratedly good/really good kick. I know eker doesn't mean crab but it also doesn't mean really good either.

Eker? He's a damn good player, he just has a non-descript face and name.

I would take him in a heartbeat.

Isn't 20 games the limit? Or is that the Sockeye one? So many rules.

Yes Sockeye's rule was lets not judge a player until they reach 20 games.

Re: Ekers

Angus Graham is on an AFL list? I'll be damned.

Re: Ekers

Jake king ? How long has he been around ? one of the lucky ones I would suggest, not much talent at all but being at Richmond you tend to have more chance of being an eker.
