The official Sam Reid/Daniel Currie Memorial Eker Thread

Re: Ekers

Peter Rhode did such a good job managing our list that Port thought it wise to put him in charge of theirs for the better part of a decade!

Re: Ekers

Thought it timely to revisit a favourite thread. Ben Hudson anybody? The beard is looking at going around again after retiring two years ago! Surely he deserves some love here.

My theory is that Ben has lost control of his beard. Huddo retired 3 years ago but the Beard is refusing to listen and is dragging the rest of him along for the ride.

Re: Ekers

Looks like Addison continues his rise in the ranks.

Re: Ekers

Does Cameron Schwab deserve an Eker rating for offering bugger all over a long period of time and somehow surviving?

To me he would be a monty to win an AFL Survivor series if it was ever on TV.

My ex wife cleaned Melbourne FC offices in '81 including Schwab's. She didn't like him but then again she doesn't like me either. Since then I've often speculated how an unlikable like him has kept on keeping on, so I say to you GVGjr well nominated!

Has he signed ?

Has he signed ?

Hasn't been offered has he?

Re: Ekers

Has he signed ?

Well he hasn't been delisted and if that's the case at worse he will be traded and that means a continued career , not sure if his contract has finished yet anyway

Unrestricted FA.

Best would be a 3rd round compo. Otherwise nothing.

Re: Ekers

I'm a fan of Addison though , always gives his all and can pop up and take a good mark, is definitely worth being in a list if not ours

Re: Ekers

It's been too long.

Crows- Angus Graham: 9 years in the system, two clubs and 48 games.
Lions- Stefan Martin: 27 and getting a crack after being a 3rd string ruck. Also at second club.
Blues- Andrejs Everitt: 3 clubs in 8 seasons, actually playing his best footy.
Pies- Alan Toovey: 9 seasons.
Dons- Jason Winderlich: Ekers can be handy players. 12 years for 118 games.
Freo- Kepler Bradley: 28 and still going at his second club.
GWS- Dylan Addison: An eked through and through. Just turned 26 and can become one of the greats.
Cats- Tom Lonergan: Just turned 30 and still going.
Suns- Danny Stanley An eker is a list that is very Eker free.
Hawks- Kyle Cheney: An up and coming Eker on a strong list.
Dees- Shannon Byrnes: 12 years in the system. At second club. Massive beneficiary of being at a gun club for so long.
Kangas- Michael Firrito: An out and out Eker. 12 years.
Port- Brent Renouf: At second club and on rookie list. 8 years for 68 games.
Tigers- Aaron Edwards: 30, 3 clubs with a year of VFL in there somewhere.
Saints- Beau Maister: See below.
Swans- LRT: 13 years. One of the greats.
Eagles- Sam Butler: 28 and in his 11 season.
Dogs- Mark Austin: 8 years in the system for 34 games. At his second club where he has been on the rookie list for 3 years.

Re: Ekers

I've seen a fair bit of Farren this year, definitely deserves an upgrade from the 'eker' tag! Genuinely good player these days.

[boydogs]

Re: Ekers

Farren's played 188 games, I'd go with Beau Maister (28yo, 2 clubs, 6 years, 44 games) from St Kilda

I was thinking Beau but he had a few years out of AFL level. Farren IMO still qualifies as an Eker because he has never hit gun level. However, I will listen to the people and anoint Beau as St.Eker.
