    With the retirement of Beau Maister (formerly Wilkes) the community loses a true blue Eker.

      Mark Austin must be moving into eker immortality.
      They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

        If he manages a spot on our list next year, or another club picks him up then his status would be unquestionable wouldn't it?

          He's really only on par with Jarrad Grant. Both 25 years old, only 40 & 60 games respectively from their combined 15 years in the AFL system. I put Grant ahead in the eker stakes because he's not played senior footy on form, whereas Austin has been limited by being on the rookie list for 3 years, and he somehow has a contract for next year as well. Grant could be an Eker legend in the making.

            Yep, a mystery that he managed to survive so long in the system - he's so Eker he even survived a name change.

            If Luke Lowden can't squeeze another contract out of the Hawks, I hope his awesome ekeing effort of 1 senior game in 6 seasons on the Hawks list can continue at another club.

              Having done an 'advanced search' and without going through 26-odd pages, has Daniel Currie been mentioned?

                I don't believe so. How long has he been on the list?

                  Serious question. Who is Daniel Currie?

                    Winner!

                    Drafted pick 49 in 2006 draft by Swans, delisted in 2011 and played a season at North Adelaide in 2012. Re-drafted by North in 2013. Made his debut this year - at least seven years after being originally drafted. 3 games to date, less than a game every two years.

                      Who is Daniel Currie? - An eker, thats who...

                      Debut in 2014. 3 Games, 2 goals.

                      One of each was against the Dogs.

                      The official AFL website of the North Melbourne Football Club


                      "Currie spent time on Sydney's senior list from 2007 to 2011. He has great athleticism as well as strong hands in marking situations.

                      Very direct with hit-outs as well as follow up work when the ball hits the ground. Won the NEAFL League B & F in 2011 showing great improvement since departing the Swans and was picked up by North Melbourne in the 2012 National Draft"
                      More of an In Bruges guy?

                            Deserves it too. He is quite literally Hawthorn's best one-on-one key defender at the moment.

                            Still hasn't reached 50 games but is about to get a contract for his 10th season. I dislike Hawthorn but if they are to win the flag this year I'd love to see Spangher win a flag, after being emergency for Sydney in 2012 and Hawthon last year and also being on the Eagles list when they won the flag in 2006.

                              I've never got the Spangher ridicule. He's been good every time I've seen him play.

                                Just heard Spang got a 2 year contract extension at the Hawks. That will give him 11 consecutive seasons on a senior AFL list, and he's still shy of 50 games. Looks a lock for a future Eker hall of fame inductee.
