The official Sam Reid/Daniel Currie Memorial Eker Thread

Re: Ekers

He even got a jumper upgrade from 46 to 28 for his troubles. Long may he continue to physically and verbally torment Didak and still eventually get torched in the other direction.

And Travis Cloke.

I love it when King plays against us.

Re: Ekers

Adelaide: Michael Doughty
Brisbane: Brent Staker
Carlton: Simon Wiggins
Collingwood: Leigh Brown
Essendon: Nathan Lovett-Murray
Fremantle: Antoni Grover
Geelong: Josh Hunt
Hawthorn: Wayde Skipper
Melbourne: Mark Jamar
North Melbourne: Leigh Harding
Port Adelaide: Cameron Cloke
Richmond: Jordan McMahon
St.Kilda: Leigh Fisher
Sydney: Henry Playfair
West Coast: Ashley Hansen
Western Bulldogs: Tim Callan

Eight of the 16 Eker club representatives are gone, with Hansen likely to make it nine. This is a horrible time indeed for our cause.

Wiggins, Harding, Playfair and Callan have 'retired', Leigh Fisher, McMahon and Cameron Cloke have been delisted and Jamar is no longer an Eker due to his All-Australian selection.

Re: Ekers

How does Koshitzke manage to fly under the Eker radar ? Might not look an Eker in the true spirit of Ekemanship but has played his career out like the finest of Ekers.

Close but I think his very shot peak period was too 'star' like for an Eker. The majority of his career has definitely been Ekerish.

This should be one of the criteria for ekerdom -- most of your highly-rated ekers on this thread have had short star periods (Farren's one great final vs. Collingwood for example) and then managed to eke out half a decade or more on the fringes of AFL lists as coach after coach try to rekindle what they are sure they saw in those few wonderful moments.

Re: Ekers

We can now add Wayde Skipper to this destinguished list- A big hearted Eker with very little talent. As tends to be the Eker way, his last season of AFL football was easily his best.

We salute you Wayde!

Haha, yeah I think Kosi's peak was a lot stronger than Ray's (and while short, it did last more than one game!).

A very sad day losing Wayde Skipper

I have a feeling we haven't seen the last of Wayde Skipper.

Where do you think he'll end up?

I think the new interchange rule has made Wayde a more appealing option they he may have otherwise been.

Yup, I'd be very suprised if he wasn't on a list next year. If we offloaded Will we may have even had a look

Chance for the veterans list?

Re: Ekers

Chance for the veterans list?

He would have to come back onto our list for the next 3 seasons before he would be eligible.

He would just get in the way of Roughead, Cordy and Prato's development.

I wasn't being serious.

Didn't we draft him in 2000 though? If that is the case then for arguments sake we re-drafted him this year wouldn't he be eligable.
