Re: Ekers

With St Kilda's demise, we may have to say goodbye to a swag of our beloved ekers. I feel a disturbance in the force.

Re: Ekers

What about Guerra? Surely a more successful gap-filler has hasn't had more success in the last 10 years?

He is a quality Eker but the #1 at the Hawks is Paul Johnson and he takes some beating.

Me too. Stay strong Jason Blake.

Re: Ekers

If we are looking for real Ekers we need to say at least 8 years otherwise you could fill this thread with hundreds.
In saying that who is a better a eker a one club player or a 3 club player?
If you can stay at a one club thats pretty awesome but if you can suck in 3 clubs thats pretty amazing too.

Getting paid to suck is the ultimate achievement, regardless of how many clubs you play for., but the multi-club eker deserves special recognition.

Re: Ekers

Keep an eye on a potential eker star, I believe Rocco describes them as a plateauing star, David Myers from Essendon. Doesn't have a single AFL attribute, yet is regularly given big responsibility during a game, a potential eker hall of fame contender.

Question is did the club use an eker as a trade thus being the smart one or did the eker fool the new club?

To avoid Eker free agency?

Ekers who change clubs normally get delisted then picked back up, or get swapped for cheap as chips.

Ekers who move on high picks/ high wages/ long contracts.. now that's quality eker-dom.

Brock McLean comes to mind.

Re: Ekers

Has Tom Hislop been mentioned yet?

Has been on an AFL list for 5 years now for a grand total of 27 games, but to be on these lists he has been drafted 3 times.

Coming off the rookie list he played 5 games this year, but started as the 'sub' 4 times.

He has to be a future Hall of Famer for the Eker society.

Re: Ekers

^ On those stats, Hislop would get an Eker award named after him. A fine addiiton to the list.

Re: Ekers

Is it safe to say that the Spring of 2011 will see one of the greatest west coast Eker migration's in football history? Perhaps Kepler Bradley for captain? Possibly even a Clive Waterhouse comeback?

Conspiracy theory time, maybe it's why he 'retired' so many Saints!

Just on Mantis' Tom Hislop call. He is no doubt an eker but he is only 23. To be a great eker you need to have more time in the game.

Re: Ekers

Michael Osbourne is an Eker of the highest order.
