    Is Everitt an eker or is Carlton so bad, it sort of elevates his status? Spangher played in a granny and did a reasonable job too. Does this disqualify him?

      I think ekers can definitely playing in premiership sides.

          If Liam Jones gets another season, he will be in elite Eker territory.

          BTW EasternWest, your Avatar scares me. I just can't stand seeing Tom Boyd in any other colours but ours!

            Is it possible for an Eker to peak , win a Premiership and fade away ?
            Well, yes .......Trent West is an obvious example , made his debut with Geelong Round 1 2008, roll forward to 2015 now with Brisbane and just 64 Career games played ( injuries have played their part )

              Liam's current contract expires at the end of 2017. ��

                So you're saying you prefer a Michael Werner to a Peter Cransberg?

                  Assured of his opportunity at Eker greatness then.

                    I think that's fairly self explanatory.

                    Just a side note but has it been mentioned that our current senior coach would be in the eker H.O.F. Or it that blasphemous ?

                      Between 30-50 games at 3 different clubs over 11 seasons.
                      He'd be in a forward pocket in the Eker team of the century I reckon.

                        Not sure if he's been mentioned but Chris Knights from Richmond and formerly Adelaide would have to qualify.

                        Admittedly he was a pretty good player circa 2007-2009, but injuries have limited him to 102 games in what is now his 11th season, after being drafted in 2004. Once again he is out with a long term injury and thus far has only managed 6 games with Richmond (none in 2014 - entire seasons without games apart from when players are starting out should be worth bonus eker points).

                          I think Dustin Flecther is the biggest eker .. 40 years old and still hanging in there , what's that 23 years on a list and the same club ! Wow !
                          Fair eker and managed to clock up over 400 games :-)

                            I don't think he played in a premiership, if that's what you meant
