The official Sam Reid/Daniel Currie Memorial Eker Thread
I regret to inform, Rhys Palmer, has been de-listed by Carlton. Three clubs and very little impact in, the Rising Star Award winner was eking well until this.
Such a horrible year for Eker losses.

It's been an Ekersharknado!
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

I think it shows that they only picked up Palmer and his salary to secure Marchbank.

If Josh Cowan gets another year, he will go up massively in Eker status.
8 years as a paid professional athlete for just 16 games means he will always be considered a top line Eker. Doing some back of a napkin type math, the average wage for a senior listed player over that 8 year period is say 250-300K. Let's split the difference and say $275K.
Which means over 8 years he's made approx $2.2M..
Which means he's earned himself $137,500 per senior AFL game.
Which means his hourly rate in terms of pure top line senior AFL game time (2 hours of footy per game) is $68,750 an hour.
What a legend!
Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.
Jack Redpath (6 years, 34 games)
Tom Campbell (6 years, 42 games)
Fletcher Roberts (6 years, 47 games)
Mitch Honeychurch (4 years, 22 games)
Hayden Crozier (6 years, 69 games, 2 clubs)
Stewart Crameri (8 years, 99 games, 2 clubs)
If you kicked five goals and Tom Boyd kicked five goals, Tom Boyd kicked more goals than you.
I remember the day Majak Daw kicked so many goals v us I had to look away. He's been cashing in on that performance for years since.
