The official Sam Reid/Daniel Currie Memorial Eker Thread

Re: Ekers

That's a really good point. We could award a belt like they do in boxing but rated by height instead of weight. There could be short, medium and tall arse divisions.

The short award has to be called the Dale Kickett Award - the only player to play for five clubs.

Re: Ekers

Veteran Sam Reid has been axed but will be re-drafted next month.

Mumford will extend his career into a 13th season, retained as a rookie for 2021,

Re: Ekers

Agreed. Ruckmen need to give odds, like Elaine did in 'The Contest' on Seinfeld.

GVGjr had a Lindsay Gaze quote of his signature for a while - something like if your tall you have five years to impress me but if your not you have ten minutes.

Re: Ekers

Kamdyn McIntosh doesn't really qualify as an eker for the tigers, has played far too many games per season after a slow start and is a 2 time premiership player.

Ryan Garthwaite is a better candidate. 9 games across 4 seasons (0 in 2017 and 2020) and has won a fifth year on the list in 2021.

Yep, something along the lines of if you're short you've got ten minutes to show me you can play, but if you're tall you've got five years to show me you can't.......

Thanks Rocco. Daniel sure was in it for the long haul. I found this link written when big Dan's career was nine years old

Re: Ekers

I'd like to acknowledge Sam Reid who was re-rookied again by GWS today.

Absolute eker royalty. His only competition are back-up ruckmen when if comes to fringe-player longevity in the game.

Pound for pound, the greatest Eker of them all.

Let us all tip our lids to one Jacob Townsend -on to his fourth club with the Gold Coast Suns rookie listing him

Don't forget about Jacob Townsend - just joined his fourth club today in south east Queensland. 60 games in 9 seasons as a non-ruckman is tremendous eking.

This thread should be named after him.

Astonishing.

This is the Daniel Currie Memorial Eker Thread and I won't hear another word about it!

Up there with Justin Koschitzke for most ever career mileage out of four good games.
