all you can ask of any player is to give 100%. he does it every game.

new favourite player. and reading the Collingwood game day thread, opposition supporters are starting to say things like "I ******* hate Hooker"

Hooker strikes me as being very much not the hateable type so I can only assume it's because people don't like the fact he's ******* good.

Wears his heart on his sleeve a bit, opp fans hate seeing guys ask for frees and stuff
Yeah, this. Carries on a bit about not getting frees which kind of pisses me off too. My only qualm with Hooksy. Love him.

The bloke's a gem. He's a serious player, a serious club man. A well deserved Crichton.

I love that call from the Hawks game (last 4 minutes of the game are on the previous page of this thread). "Hooker, what the bloody hell's he doing here? HE'S KICKING BLOODY GOALS! CALE HOOKAAAR!"

Pretty crazy reading back through this thread to see how opinions of Cale have changed.
Here's a few gems.
I have had an absolute gut full of this guy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! he is an absolute crab useless football player the guy is not good enough and lacks speed to keep up with his opponents, however this can be covered by using his F**King brain!!!!!!! but nooooooooooooooo he's not smart enough to play the game! delist waste of space on our list... why would any club want to trade for a reserves standard backman????? i can answer this... THEY WOULDNT!!!!!!!!!!! not only is he wasting space on our list he is also keeping Pears out who is lacking confidence because this F**kwit gets a game before him!

Pull ur head in Hird and Bomber!

RANT OVER
Hooker is not the future for us for mine, he decision making and disposal are poor, but for those thinking that we can trade him for a mid are dreaming!
Trade. We could possibly get a half eaten sanga for him.

I thought he should have been named in the All Aus team. Not his fault he had to move for sake of the team. He was leading the intercept marks or around that mark before he moved forward. He had a better year than Gibson anyway.

Now we have three All Aus in the team that we have drafted and developed, apart from Jobe. Sigh. We should be in the top 4 and playing in the Prelim Final. Bloody Dank and Weapon, and AFL, ASADA and WADA. Completely stuffed up our progression.

It will be nice if Zacka or Zerrett can step up and become an all aus. Even Daniher has a potential to take that huge stride.
