I don't think he was that great a loss in terms of ability, but I liked him a lot. I am always happy to see him playing well. (Friday excluded)

Sometimes you lose players who end up doing well for another club. It was the right decision at the time to let him go, and it's taken him a long time to reach the level he has now. Even as recently as earlier this season he was dropped. Good luck to him for his current run of form but I don't think we need to start wishing we still had him.Today's a draft of your epitaphComment

He was a favourite of mine while at the Swans. His hip and shoulders were Pickettesque. Too many midfielders at the time and he drew the short straw.It's very hard to live in a studio apartment in San Jose with a man who's learning to play violin. That's what she told the police when she handed them the empty revolver.

My call is GOOD CALL!
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.Comment

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.Driver of the Dan Hannebery bandwagon....all aboard. 4th April 09Comment

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.Comment
