    My call is GOOD CALL!
    i agree totally
    at the time he had just won the sandover medal in westar rules comp.
    when he came to sydney he wasnt up to afl standard it and the swans put way to much pressure on him to be the next big thing out of sydney.

    good to see him going good at freo and back home.

    remember a few years back when he was playing for sydney he ironed out {jess sinclair freo}with a magic hip and shoulder.
    from that hit every time cookie got a possy the crowd ripped into him like no player ive seen cop it before

    now he is one of there most loved sons.

    Eade didn't want him because he was a poor kick, pure and simple.

    Cook's hip and shoulder on Rohan Smith in front of the players race at the SCG still stands as one of my most vivid memories. One of the best ever.

    Rohan Smith? I thought it was Brad Wira.
    We all dream of a team of BLTs!

    Every time I see Troy Cook going for a hard ball, I think, 'How could we ever have let him go?'

    Then, when he gets that hard footy and has to dispose of it, I know why.

    He did have a fantastic role at Sydney, though: he specialised in running off the bench at top speed at some stage in the second quarter, charging through packs and delivering bone-jarring bumps, and then going off again. He is to a football side as the joker is to a card game; or as the key change is to a rock song. I'm sure others can develop better analogies.

    Cookie is a great club man at Freo and his abilty to iron out players legally with bone crunching hip and shoulder bumps has really added to our success at Freo.

    Expect more of the same on Friday - and keep your eyes on Dodd, Crowley, Carr and McManus.

    Exactly. May as well ask why did Brisbane let Craig Bolton go....

    Given we got Shaubs, who then proceeded to win the B+F in his first year, I think it was a good call.
