Re: Ekers

Sam Gilbert's games per season average is a bit high. Tom Hickey has been around 7 seasons for 66 games and is a ruckman to boot. Classic eker.

Re: Ekers

I would nominate Aaron Black for the eker at Geelong ahead of Lincoln McCarthy (2 extra years in the system, multiple clubs) - drafted by NM in 2009, 54 games in total.

Sam Gilbert
12 years in system
197 games

Tom Hickey
7 years
66 games
2 clubs

I am gonna say being a ruck counts against him as it's so common, being a non ruck= greater degree of difficulty as an Eker. This is a hard one. I am going to stick with Gilbert. Even though he has played a lot of games, being an Eker is more about years in the system. 10 years mark is just massive. So many contract extensions. Rucks get 5 years for rocking up to training most of the time.

Aaron Black
8 years
54 games
2 clubs

Lincoln McCarthy
6 years
27 games

Another hard one. You guys are good. I am with you PP. 5-6 years really still means you are pretty young, the 7 year + barrier is where real Ekers come in. Aaron Black is the new Cats Eker.

Re: Ekers

GWS are stock filled with Ekers. Dawson Simpson, DeBoer and Sam Reid.

Let's look into it

Dawson Simpson
10 years
30 games
2 clubs

Sam Reid
8 years
43 games
2 clubs (but a glorious dance with the rookie list draft, the lifeblood of Ekerdom)

Look Sam Reid GWS edition is an incredible Eker but Dawson Simpson is nearing Eker GOAT status. Greatest Eker in AFL at the mo mo.

Liam jones ?

An Eker but not really a dye in the wool Eker. A true Eker is more about even effort rather than hot or cold.

Liam Jones
9 years
95 games
2 clubs
Being elite for whatever a small period of time as it was during '17 counts against him

Alex Silvagni
8 years
60 games
Rookie Drafted TWICE!!!

Clear win to Alex Silvagni here.

Re: Ekers

Shaun Hampson is exempt from Ekers because has a hot Mrs!

I nominate Taylor Hunt in his place.

Ekers with hot partners is a wierd anomolous phenomena that is real. Brad Miller was an ubereker who had one of the hottest women in Australia as his partner. The world of the eker is complex.

Re: Ekers

I think Redpath could be the best eker ever , in the leadership group and has never cemented his place in the team. Massive potential.
For the record I love the guy and think he has the killer instinct in him.

[Rocco Jones]

Re: Ekers

Ekers are lovable so it makes sense. Also, Brad Miller and Shaun Hampson look like male models.

[Rocco Jones]

Re: Ekers

GWS have the top two Ekers in the comp I think.
