Re: Ekers

We've lost another eker legend today with St Kilda announcing Brett Peake has been delisted.

Dean Polo is another eker to suffer the same fate in a St Kilda post Ross Lyon eker cull.

Polo's ability to get picked up by the Saints and play senior footy after being dumped by a bad Tigers team should go down in eker folklore. Hopefully Ross Lyon can continue to further the careers of ekers by bringing them to Perth and forming an eker community.

Does Fantasia get a job as the "GM Eker" ?

He's an AFL industry 'eker' par excellence. Ruined Adelaide premiership list when he was their recruiter - not to mention he was the guy to green-light the Wayne Carey trade - and we are all well aware of his awesome body of work at the kennel.

Was Hooper an Eker?
Shake my head at why we ever gave him two years.

Don't reckon he played enough games to qualify.

Re: Ekers

Brent Guerra was once bordering on ekernism once he left Port then the Saints and ended up at the Hawks.
He has well and truly elevated himself to be an integral part of their back line.

Mitch Morton might be playing a prelim.
He was pretty good today.

Oh he plays in the PF for sure after that display.

I reckon this thread was made for Doughty. The most vanilla, nondescript role player in the game and has been for the last 10 years.

Re: Ekers

Lewis Roberts-Thompson and Mike Pike are two more Swans Ekers.
Mattner?
They make them good players.

Mattner was pretty good at Adelaide.

Add Riley to that list too.

Re: Ekers

Reilly and Mattner are a fair level above that of the garden variety eker in my opinion

Dean Polos career for me somes up a classic - 6 years at Tigers, 2 years at Saints

Re: Ekers

Ted Richards could have been a candidate when he first crossed to Sydney from Essendon, now he is an All Auztralian!
Sydney have a number of players in a similar category initially ie McGlynn, Kennedy to name just a few.

You would have to say Ekers are more likely to be defenders.
Casting my eye over the Freo list, Zac Dawson and Adam McPhee would have to be getting toward Eker territory?

Re: Ekers

Ekers playing wise who have gone on to be footy legends in another capacity Kevin Sheedy, Mick Malthouse Andrew DEmetriou. Wouldn't that make you the ultimate Ekers?
Ricky Nixon the Eker of all professions, the moment he looked above ekerism he would do everything to keep Eker his main employer.
