[5][6] Pool was a rover, and by playing 200 games of VFL football he became the first West Australian-born player to reach that milestone.

Despite his ability, playing for Victoria seven times, Hawthorn were a very poor team during his career.

Pool played 10 games at the age of 33 with the Camberwell Football club in 1939.

[7] Ted Pool died at Glen Iris on 11 February 1975 and is buried at Fawkner Memorial Park.
