The official Sam Reid/Daniel Currie Memorial Eker Thread

Re: Ekers

It reminds me of Bart getting put into the remedial class at Cypress Creek;

"We're supposed to overtake the other clubs by going slower than they are?"

If someone can translate that into Latin, we have their new motto.

Re: Ekers

You can't call him an Eker. He started AFL at a late age after having two knee reconstructions. He has worked his butt off to get into the senior team.

Yeah I wouldn't, but with 15 games in 4 years on the list he is probably the closest we have

Awesome. Trademark it before the cheats use it!

Re: Ekers

On a day famous for second, third and fourth chances, let the record show that Danny Stanley and Sam Reid will be on AFL rookie lists next year.

Simply astonishing.

Sam Reid embarks on a new chapter of his ekerthon. No longer locked in to a mentoring role in the GWS Magoos leads to the big question - will he add a couple of games to his six year, 25 game total? Or, will he jeopardise his eker status by becoming a permanent fixture in the side? My money's on the former but, good luck to Sam: I hope I'm wrong. Just don't play well against us, ok.

It's ok, he won't.

Re: Ekers

To be fair, wasn't Ash Hansen's career limited by injury? and if that's permissible, then surely Tom Williams is our Eker.

I think long term list occupation with limited outcome due to injury counts towards ekerism or eker status. Rocco?

Surely there needs to be multi clubs, like Gumbleton or Currie. Otherwise guys like Williams, Menzel, Clay Smith and Morabito get Eker status which is a little harsh. But if another club takes them, game on I say.

Portable ekering.

Re: Ekers

I think multiple clubs, or delisting/relistings and rookie'ing are all important components of eker qualification.

[Twodogs]

Re: Ekers

So should reserve games played be a component of ekerism?

Re: Ekers

Can I nominate Jarryd Lyon from the crows? If not, he's only a season or two away

Of all the ekers, this guy is in a special little category all of his own. After capturing Mick Malthouse's heart last pre-season, look who Brendan Bolton seems to have taken a shine to.

Won't take him long to realise the Liam and endurance don't go hand in hand.
