Sam Reid to play his first game for GWS this weekend since 2013. Hats off to Eker royalty.

Yes.

Re: Ekers

Could be a red letter weekend for the eker movement with Daniel Currie playing his first game for GC this weekend and Sam Grimley on the extended bench for the Bombers.

Cripes, have to google Mr Grimley. No idea who he is.

Re: Ekers

His first game and this must be his third year on the list? Not including the years he was dropped entirely from the list before being redrafted.


Outstanding.

Actually reading that it's a pretty admirable story. Good luck to him.

Re: Ekers

Great story. I know he was not much chop for us but I loved some of his efforts in late 2009.

Clearly he is in good form to be getting a game for GWS right now.

As a youngster he was a powerful mover

He showed a bit with us early, and then developed type 1 diabetes, and multiple? shoulder reconstructions

Yep, multiple shoulder recos and a lengthy bout of OP didn't give him any continuity during his time with us

Re: Ekers

I rated him when he first started for us. Absolute beast at the contest. Injuries ruined his time with us.

Re: Ekers

Always had a soft spot for Sam Reid and I'm rapt that he gets a game this week.

Great story. He is very well regarded too.

Yep, played a really good game against Geel late in the season where he cut out Jimmy Bartel and got a bit of it himself.. He gave off a handball when under the pump that the Bont would be proud of.. Hope he goes well.

Re: Ekers

May Sam J have a solid career with no decent performances against the Dawgs. Well done to him, that's some persistence right there, and a mighty beard.
