Do you really think Cooney is cut from the same cloth as Chris Grant?
Remember, Lake still has two years to go on a contract and has been a star player for the club. I don't believe Cooney will simply fob it off if as just being part of the footy business if he was traded. He is defending him now because his character is being questioned and I think he would have an even stronger POV if he was moved on whilst still contracted.

Guess we will never agree, which is nothing new, but for what it's worth I've never regarded Cooney as mature.
