Didn't see the VFL game today (dad duties) but a mate who was at the game said Cooper looked legit, and could have had a 6th goal too.

Might be time.
Cooper 5.3, 20 disposals, 9 marks (2 contested at least) and 3 tackles.

Used it well, lead well, defensive and offensive intensity was up. His best game by far.
 
Do you unleash him against Geelong or hold him back for the Hawthorn game?

I’m a big believer in getting them in while they are hot, so I would probably make the call this week and tell him he has 3 games guaranteed to show his wares at the top level.

Geelong. Will be a good first experience for him against the reigning premiers.

Kids legit.

Could struggle at the top level initially, but he has deserved an opportunity.

Give him the next three games guaranteed to see how he transitions.

Footy IQ looks off the charts like his old man.
 
really need to give him a game this week. strike while the iron is hot so to speak. if he's going to have fluctuating form, let him debut now when he's red hot, drop him if he falls away. it'll be really important for his development to have a taste even if he doesn't tear it up.

Agree. Just not as the sub.
Was emergency, played well and did everything asked of him.
If it is for Cutis or possible CZ, if playing injured, worth a look.
Doesn’t seem to be the type to be overwhelmed.

He’s bound to have a bit of swagger about him - given who his dad is.

Doesn’t look like a teenager playing against men. I wonder how many kgs he’s gone up since getting here?
Had a decent build predraft. His tank was the main limitation. Both have improved as the year has progressed.
 
Averaging 16 disposals and 2.8 goals per game in the VFL the last 6 weeks.

Seriously impressive numbers for a 18 year old, we haven't had a forward put up numbers like that as a first year player in the VFL in a while.

Paul Curtis and Ford had their moments, they also had decent blocks in the AFL because of it.
