Ted Pool (9 November 1906 – 11 February 1975) was an Australian rules footballer who played with Hawthorn in the Victorian Football League (VFL).Pool was a rover, and by playing 200 games of VFL football he became the first ever West Australian born player to reach the milestone.Despite his ability, playing for Victoria seven times, Hawthorn were a very poor team during his career; Pool is (as of 2013) one of only five players in the AFL/VFL to play 200 games or more without playing a final (the other three are Steve Smith and Gary Hardeman of Melbourne and Geoff Cunningham and Trevor Barker of St. Kilda).
