    Troy Cook: Why did we let him go?

    Good article about Troy Cook, a crowd favourite when he was with Sydney. It always seemed to me to be a mistake by Eade to let him go. Good on Cooke for doing so well at the Dockers but I wont wish him well on Friday night.

    I have often wondered about that, was it that he was from WA and wanted to go home?

    There wasnt much point in keeping him, when we had Schwass, Kelly, Cresswell, Bolton, Stevens and so forth.

    Yep im pretty sure that was the case. Home sick. What pick did we receive for him? IIRC it was a pretty dodgy pick in the 30s.

    1999 National AFL Draft traded by Sydney for No. 34 (Leon Davis).

    He is at collingwood, must have been a three way deal?

    We got #34 for Cook (Freo)

    Then we got Schauble for #34 and Mark Kinnear.

    At the time he wasn't fitting in at the club...it was the rocket era where players were losing their confidence...now we could use him no doubt but had he stayed I dont think he would be the player he is today.
