Brian Cook to leave this year - Caro

[forrrestGump]

But Cook is committed only until the end of this season, which will mark a full decade since he arrived at the club from West Coast shortly after Frank Costa's new board took over. The obvious conclusion is that he would be an inspired choice as the inaugural boss of the new Gold Coast club. While no talks have taken place, The Sunday Age believes both parties — along with the AFL — are warming to the prospect.

I think the bolded quote says it all, she has written the article based on her own conclusions and possibly a few in the AFL who suggested Cook may be a candidate. Doesn't mean a damn thing, I think if cooky was to leave he would go to a better position than that....and deserves to.

agree, the guy will play politics, and wants a top ceo posi, if he goes to gc, he rules himself out of the afl when andy leaves, or similar type job if it arises

wish caro would go, gardiner was right

I reckon with the success Geelong of had on an off the field for the last 5 or so years im sure Cook wont be the only person other clubs try an poach of us. Thats how it goes though.


Love the way the club is lookin off field at the moment. High memberships ( for our club at least) new stands, more investments, long term and short plus they havent scrimped on puttin cash back into the footy department like St Kilda were supposed to of been doin when Butters was there.

Yep, club is in good nick all round so im very happy with my club

You can't begrudge him from moving on.

I'm surprised anyone could move to Geelong and live there for 10 years. Incredible effort really

Will always have a soft spot for the bloke, no matter what he does.
He saved our club and gave us all a flag, for which most of us thought would never happen.

Big Frank Costa has said that the best recruit Geelong has ever had was Brian Cook. Can't argue with that as without him, we might not have the GFC or at the very leastmight be playing all home games in Melbourne.

If he goes, we'll give him a slap on the back and kiss on cheek and wish him well.

Haha, it was Hutchy on the footy show a couple of weeks ago that stated something along the lines of Cook had Costa's blessing to go to the Gold Coast. Hmm, great journalistic work.
