      That's one game for every year he has been on an AFL list.
      Thanks for that. There is a rock-solid consistency about his performances that keeps him in the mix as a leading "go to " option for clubs looking for a back up big man.

        Great day.
        They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

          Dan Currie- played his only game on fractured foot... nothing comes close to his eker pedigree.

            David Rhys Jones loved that tap.

            He said in special comments that it should count as a goal assist.

              An Eker you were but proud you will always be

              It always helps to be big if you want to survive as an Eler

                Is an "Eler" an elite "Eker"?

                    Giles is definitely a legendary Eker.

                        Not many 2017 Ekers look certain to survive - Gilbert, Daw and perhaps Laidler the most likely

                        Cheney, walker, McKernan have some chance

                          It would be sad to see Currie go. He won the Suns "Most Professional" Award in 2016 and made a very entertaining speech.

                            Rumour Gryphone is off to Carlton to finish his final year/s of being on the injury list. If true, he's moving into Eker category.

                                Cutting their losses. Gryphone would have been at 3 clubs in 3 years (Dogs Oct 2014, GWS, Carlton Oct 2017). That's quality Eking.
