So he done well at the dockers, now that not really at big point on your CV now is it.

If they defeat us in 48 hours time it may be.

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.

I'm happy with that.

I liked Cookie. He was a real hard nut and I remember at the time being glad that he was going if only for the reason that he would get far more opportunities at Freo than he was getting at the Swans. And I always think of him as a former Swan who probably would have gladly stayed had he been given more game time. For mine he's in a different category to, say, A.Rocca who couldn't bear to stay.

Well, originally I thought it was, but now I'm beginning to wonder...

I believe Schauble is in germany. Ah where is Cupcake these days?

I passed Andrew Schauble after the Italy-Australia match in Kaiserslautern. He was wearing a Socceroo shirt and was very depressed. I was wearing a Socceroo shirt and was feeling even worse than him.

His is of German extraction. More than likely from the Stuttgart area, as "Sch?uble" sounds very Swabian.

PS:- Getting back to Cookie, I heard that the Swans felt he went astray because he was good friends and housemates with continuous party boy Adam Heuskes.

He looked good on the Ella Bache poster that was all over Sydney at one stage.

Blast from the past.. But can anyone remember the other two "members" on the billboard with Troy Cook?

[MadCanuck]

Was Matthew Nicks one and Micky O another?

[Primmy]

There were five.

Matty Nicks, Micky O, Cookie, Cressa and Snapper (Brad Seymour) - won a tshirt with the Ella Bache add on it......

As a side issue, Troy Cook had the best pecs by a country mile.
