Re: Ekers

Alltime Ekers premiership side

B. D Calthorpe M Bortolotto I Aitkin
HB P Barnard LRT M Hogg
C P Hills B Monteith S Clayton
HF S Ellen M Robran S Bond
F. G Moorcroft M Capuano T Bond
R. C Keating R Jones C Brown
I. G Manton A Keating B Marsh T Thurston

Feel free to change.

This team needs more Greg Madigan. Keating is much too good to be an eker, so maybe plonk Capuano in the ruck, move Thurstans to FF and put Madigan on the pine. Otherwise a fantastic effort Chops.

Actually Josh Mahoney is very stiff not to get a guernsey, considering he had spells at 3 different clubs, without so much as a half decent match, before his break-out performance in the 2004 GF.

Monteith surely the captain, seeing as he actually captained a premiership team doing bugger-all. Joycey the coach??

Shane Kerrison?
Stephen Armstrong?

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.

Our own Tom Williams must also be a chance to become an Eker, in time.

The Pie man made the same call back in November 2009! (page one of this thread)

Re: Ekers

You watch how Adelaide monsters our back line today and you may yet pine for a fit Tom Williams.

I played most of my junior footy with Matty Hogg. He wasn't the most talented guy at our club but he was a real hard nut that got the most of his abilities. He was terrific in his first few years at the bulldogs.. From memory he played injured in his last season at the dogs and was moved onto Carlton... He played in two grand finals (one premiership) and got a game for Victoria.....Not sure if 173 AFL games over 12 seasons is true eker material....

IIRC the last time a fit T. Williams faced Adelaide, T Walkor tore him a new one, was it a 5 goal quarter or 5 goal game.

Just saying..

Didnt he hit one of our players in his first year at Carlton?

Re: Ekers

Eade would be close to the coach i would have thought.

Neale Daniher would have him covered by quite a distance. Or Terry Wallace.

Yes choco royal... Hoggy was quite handy with the boxing gloves..

I thought Eade had the record, longest coach without a flag.

Re: Ekers

If the definition of an Eker is not winning a flag then the Bulldogs is the home of the Eker...
