Cale Hooker (born 13 October 1988) is a professional Australian rules footballer, currently playing for the Essendon Football Club in the Australian Football League.
Hooker graduated from Applecross Senior High School and played for East Fremantle in the WAFL.
Hooker was drafted by the Essendon Football Club with pick 54 in the 2007 national draft and made his debut against the Western Bulldogs in round 21, 2008.
In 2009 and 2010 Hooker established himself as one of the club's key-position defenders. In 2011 Hooker made a good start to the season but tore a hamstring in round 13 and played only one further game for the season. During the trade period after the 2012 season Essendon contemplated trading Hooker to the West Coast Eagles. However, Hooker, who had a year to run on his contract, declined to be traded.
In 2014 Hooker was Essendon's most reliable backman, coming second in the W.S. Crichton Medal and winning All-Australian selection for the first time.
In 2015 Hooker was elevated to Essendon's Leadership Group. He started the year in defence but was switched to the forward line halfway through the season. He became a useful goal scorer and finished the season with 21 goals. He was awarded the W. S. Crichton Medal as Essendon's best and fairest.
If you could just feel my pain
My pain, my sorrow
You realize what I can be tomorrow
Your self-motivating words I know
But you're talking so much shit
Your mouth looks like an asshole
Every time I see myself
I choke down all the loathe inside
It so rock star typical
Can you see why I'm cynical
Can you hear me?
What did I say?
Can you see me?
wasting away?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Caught between what I say and what I see
Like all them stupid motherfuckers on MTV
All your bithcin and whining, I've heard it all before
Someone please tell me the score
Kids tease up your mowhawks now
Your new punk rock ain't going to last
Kill all rock stars
Wonder how they got the idea?
Can you hear me?
What did I say
Can you see me
Wasting away?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Rock
