A few years ago James Sheery was working the crowd at a Cricket Game in Adelaide.
We were sitting in the front row, and was going to interview a mate of mine on the big screen.
Just before he started, Sherry asked my mate "what are you listening to?"
"pardon?"
"What are you listening to?"
"Pardon? Oh these! These are hearing aids"
Much embarrassment for Sherry, we were wetting ourselves.
My mates only regret in life, was wnen a few seconds later he was interviewed live on the Big screen by Sherry, his first answer wasn't a bunch of moans, grunts and wierd noises.
fingers crossed Cal Ward becomes one.
Dean Wallis. He eeked out a career for so long that towards the end, and because of the Bombers success around that time, he almost had a reputation for being something more.
Mark Athorn is another good eeker story. 4 clubs, close to 10 years, and he played in a grand final right at the end.
I have only just got to this thread so apologies if they've already been mentioned.
If you are looking at media types, what about the one and only Male Model from Mudgee, Kenny Sutcliffe?
Olympics (summer and winter), Wimbledons, US Opens, US Masters, World Champs, America's Cup - you name it, he's hosted it and still manages to talk non-stop during the telecast without saying anything remotely original or insightful. Respect!
I have been very lazy with the lack of eker news during this big week.
Leigh Brown is an enormous loss to the cause. I am very excited with his interest in coaching, I am sure he is going to make a wonderful career assistant coach.
Awesome news with Paul Johnson getting a senior game. Three teams and getting onto the rookie list via the special training squad. Hopefully he can stay on and carry over from the Anvil as King Eker.
GC has delisted Nathan Ablett and Daniel Harris has retired, that's left a massive eker hole in such a young list. Danny Stanley, it's time for you to step up and lead the way for eker greats of the future.
I haven't seen someone come from absolutely nowhere like that since Henry Playfair left everybody scratching their heads when he was selected by the Swans last year against us in Canberra. Before that his face was on the side of a milk carton, such was the effectiveness of his MIA status.
Looking forward to seeing the masterclass of honest, team-oriented toiling up forward from Matt Spangher in this week's elimination final. Guaranteed he won't feature in the Saturday Specials highlights reel on 'After the Game'.
