A fair journey to go through to get to a final on the G.

Thanks for posting the link.

Always thought the kid had potential

[skeptic]

Currently our only competitive forward

Pathetic effort with his last shot. Once the ball hits the ground, he's useless - so he has to mark the ball.

What do you think is upsetting Secret_Vortex more, St Kilda losing or Cooper again showing he can play?

[skeptic]

There’s certainly an argument about Coops being more competitive at ground level but he’s a great grab, runs to the right spot, super reliable kick and gets to a lot of contests.

I wouldn’t say he’s made it for sure but I really really like the kid. Think he’s a good forward and a dangerous weapon.

Coops vs Caminati argument is a stinker. Sharman way past him.

If the kid can just improve his agility and his overall toughness/strength in the contest… he’s got the potential to be a very good player

Has a certain clutch play x-factor in that he could chunk a mark out of nowhere

Top 22 currently. Easily deserves to be on the list. Good player.

He was very good today

One of our best

Get him in the gym

He did quite well, but he continues to look really slow: particularly when the opposition has the ball. Today, the only serious impediment to GWS running the ball out was Butler, with King second best. Higgins, Gresham, Caminiti and Shrman might just as well not have been there.

Cooper. I had him in my votes

Seriously, mate. What game were you watching? King was an absolute liability defensively. They actually pointed it out on the fox coverage.

Also, where has this "Cooper is slow" rubbish come from? If you wanna question anything, question his fitness. Looked out on his feet during multiple chases. But he's not slow for his size and position. They've played him on the wing, for God's sake! He's laid plenty of chase down tackles in the past. Ran down Vlaustin, I remember.

If he looked slow today, it was because Ross had him playing a defensive role on Whitfield for the first half, which was the wrong call in the end.

Come on, you lot. I honestly pull my hair out reading some of this stuff.

Bizarre take.

Has taken 2 years to see him play in the position that he was a revelation in when he started.
Sometimes you don't need to reinvent the wheel.
He is a smart marking forward with great natural instincts.
