Re: Ekers

A red letter round for the Ekers. LRT 150 games. Not sure how a player of so little talent can play in a premiership let alone 150 games.

Re: Ekers

Wait wait wait wait wait...

How can Dylan be our eker when Mulligan is still on our list?

Dylan has a few more years on Mulligan.

Surely Jayson Daniels has to make your team? 2 clubs nearly played 200 games.

It's a 'premiership' side.

Did Tom Murphy play in the Hawks 2010 flag? If so he must be a chance......

2008 - and no, I don't think he did.

Re: Ekers

Another premiership eker Robert Klomp deserves an Ekeraward named after him. 6 kicks 1 mark and 3 handballs won him the BOG tv.

Re: Ekers

Dylan has a few more years on Mulligan.

Hm, but thats not the only criteria. If we go on a formula like:

Eker rating =

Talent (out of 10) x games played
Yrs on list

And the lower your score, the greater an eker you are, as the lower your score it means the less talent you have, the fewer games you've played, yet the more years you've stayed on a list.

So, for arguments sake lets compare Libba, clearly no eker, and Hooper, a bit of an eker. If we give libba an 8 for talent and hoops a 5, say, libba's eker rating will be approx 64, while hoop's is closer to 10, so a bit more ekery than libba.

If we apply the same formula to dylan and mulligan, lets say dylans talent level is a 5, mulligans cant be higher than a 2, okay 3, then dylan's eker rating is approx 42, while mulligan's is an abysmal 1.8, and thats with a 3 for talent. If you give him a 2 the score drops to 1.2.

Dylans been on the list for 7 years, but he is undeniably more talented than James, and has at least played 56 games (some pretty good ones too) to mulligan's paltry THREE GAMES in 5 seasons. (and that,s before you even apply the super bonus factor of being able to sneak from a rookie list to a senior for for no good reason!)

I know its your rules Rocco, but thats a pretty compelling case right?

Re: Ekers

Ps. I'm quite proud of my eker formula. Try it out on some other players... it's quite foolproof!

Had a chuckle, a couple of the guys at work call each other 'Catoggio' and 'Bortolloto'.

Did Mark Bolton play in a premiership?
