Re: Ekers

I know he was mentioned previously but Dawson Simpson is one of my favourite ekers. In his 8th season and has played 27 games. Congrats Dawson

Re: Ekers

Has Merv Keane from Richmond been mentioned. How about Mark Athorn who played for us AND three other clubs over a few years of Dale Kickett who played for FIVE clubs I think. Alan Davis and Craig Davis were around for a long time with multiple clubs. Neal Peart? Alan McConnell played for us and someone else and I think was the last bloke to coach Fitzroy (for a game or two after Nunan??? resigned) And the daddy of them all, the most unskilled player ever to play league football - David Polkinghorne.

A mate of mine is a mad Hawks fan (and member). Quite randomly his name is David Polkinghorne. A few years back the Hawks rang him to tell him that he's winning a Hawk's HOF honour. He repectfully declined.

And speaking of Ekers, does/did Mick Malthouse qualify?

Re: Ekers

There's a story on the AFL site about Josh Hill, where he talks about giving it everything in what might be his last year. Eking to the end.

You mean Champion Data rolling team of the year member Josh Hill?

Re: Ekers

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

There you go GD, fixed it for you. Sorry it took so long.

Re: Ekers

I wonder who the expansion teams first homegrown ekers will be? Players who've squeezed a long career at the club without standing out.

Does issie Falau and Karmichael Hunt count as ekers?

Dylan Addison!

You shut your mouth!

Re: Ekers

Dylan Addison!

He eked out two clubs, indeed DFA is probably one of our all time great ekers. I mean a player who ekes out his entire career at either GWS or GCS. Hunt and Falau probably earned as much and played as many games as your average eker does in ten years condensed into their two or however many years they played AFL for.

Re: Ekers

I honestly forgot that Issie Falou played at the highest level. What a joke.

[Rocco Jones]

Re: Ekers

Izzy and K Hunt played for nowhere near long enough at AFL level.

Dylan Addison is as eker as it gets.

Danny Stanley would also be a worthy nomination - been on an AFL list since 2007 with only 80 odd games.

He's got nearly 30 games on our very own Jarrad Grant in only 2 extra seasons. He's got some competition.
