Ben Harrison would have to be an Eker.
And what about Chris Newman, captaining an AFL side.
Dean Wallis?
Did Peter Quill & Michael Martin play enough games to be considered ekers?
Damien Peverill is a true Eker, got the best out of his limited talent by spirit & hardness.
What about Glen Coleman?
Paul Roos loves Ekers.
He's even done the unthinkable and turned some genuine Ekers into bona-fide premiership stars, turning Rocco's entire thesis on its head: Brett Kirk comes to mind.
Other Ekers at the Swans: LRT (110+ games), Rhyce Shaw (120+ games), Luke Ablett (126 games) etc.
Shane O'bree 240 games one of the longest lasting ekers, Jared Couch 223 games , a classic eker
Aker, noted similarity in his surname aside, is about as far from an Eker as you would find.
Ekers don't win Brownlow medals as part of a Fab Four widely acknowledged as one of the best midfield quartets of all time, play 16 years of top-class football and kick countless magical goals, and be remembered as one of the greatest and most influential half-back flankers turned midfielders turned goalsneaks of the modern era.
Even in '09 he was still in the top 5 for all key indicators at the Dogs (and our top goalscorer!), so he's not even 'eke'ing out his final years.
Troy Luff was a favourite 'eker' of mine from the 90's. He was delisted and re-drafted 2-3 times by the Swans and then proceeded to play his best football towards the latter stages of his career - though not at a level exceeding his 'eker' status
