Is Everitt an eker or is Carlton so bad, it sort of elevates his status? Spangher played in a granny and did a reasonable job too. Does this disqualify him?

Is it possible for an Eker to peak , win a Premiership and fade away ?
Well, yes .......Trent West is an obvious example , made his debut with Geelong Round 1 2008, roll forward to 2015 now with Brisbane and just 64 Career games played ( injuries have played their part )
Not sure if he's been mentioned but Chris Knights from Richmond and formerly Adelaide would have to qualify.
Admittedly he was a pretty good player circa 2007-2009, but injuries have limited him to 102 games in what is now his 11th season, after being drafted in 2004. Once again he is out with a long term injury and thus far has only managed 6 games with Richmond (none in 2014 - entire seasons without games apart from when players are starting out should be worth bonus eker points).
I think Dustin Flecther is the biggest eker .. 40 years old and still hanging in there , what's that 23 years on a list and the same club ! Wow !
Fair eker and managed to clock up over 400 games :-)
