Re: Ekers

I was thinking Tom Campbell is ours.

Tough one. I'm leaning towards Jack....

Redpath 7 seasons for 34 games
Campbell 7 seasons for 42 games.

So many back up ruck Ekers. Harder to do it as a big old key forward.

Both taken at the same rookie draft (along with Jong!).

Re: Ekers

I remember the day Majak Daw kicked so many goals v us I had to look away. He's been cashing in on that performance for years since.

I remember that day. Five goals from Daw I couldn't watch in the end. And as you say. Living off that performance ever since

I remember being at the game watching my North supporting mate getting so excited "we've found a star!" he was saying. I had to tell him to calm down and relax because Majak would never get to play on opponents like Lukas Markovic and Mark Austen in an AFL game ever again.

Laughed when I Read that TwoD. I've counselled many a North fan in my time behind goals. Perhaps there is some reciprocal 'small club' kindred spirit there. You sort of let them have their fun for a bit, then when reality sinks in, try not to cheer too hard for your own boys. It's a complex task that requires sensitivity!

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.

Apeness a candidate for Freo? 4 years for 7 games. Very injury affected but well on the way to following in the footsteps of big man eker royalty like Currie.

Re: Ekers

Daniel Currie usually manages to snag a goal here and there. This part of his skill set keeps him front and centre in the MC's deliberations whenever his name crops up.

Surely Josh Cowan gets a Guernsey for Geelong? 8 years for 16 games as a midfielder is HOF material!

As I posted on the previous page he's sadly been delisted so the eker title at the Cats is up for grabs.

Cam McCarthy??? If not for the man-bun alone !!

Re: Ekers

Rhys Stanley and Lachie Henderson have been bog standard for the majority of their careers and have both been at multiple clubs. Reckon they are both eker-worthy.

Re: Ekers

Man bun wearers are the polar opposite of ekers. Ekers are good honest hard working types, just lacking in talent. Man bun wearers are far too assured of themselves (often misplaced) to be a humble eker.

Besides McCarthy has played 20 and 19 games in the past 2 seasons he's played - hardly eker stats.

If we were compiling a biggest flog list at each club he could potentially be right up there though.

I feel both have played too many games to qualify, particularly Henderson who will likely end up a 250 game player.

Indeed. They may have the talent of an eker but they break the rules by playing too much.

[Bulldog Revolution]

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.
