one draft pick, number two overall. |

Kicked a bag of 7 against Hawthorn in 1997 and a few bags
of 6 including one 6 bag in a final against Adelaide. |

He was part of the team's success story of the
90's. He could take a pack mark in the goal square. He was a burley guy with
plenty of weight to throw around. |

|
Unfortunately, in one match his weight throwing around
got him suspended and we missed a valuable player for the finals. In his own
words he said, "If you do the crime the you've got to do the time." |
|
|
|
Watching the match where he was suspended I think
it was the opposition player's fault for marking the ball, because we were
on a roll at that stage and the opposition should have got out of the way.
Poor ol'd Cookie had to be the one to flatten him, If a smaller player had
done the deed it probably would have only have been a 50 metres penalty. |
