Player Watch #37: Cooper Harvey - signs 1yr extension - Roo til end 2025

[Chadwiko]

Not to sound like a new age wellness lamp salesman, but I came across a comment this arvo speculating that the curse that descended on the club as a result of Boomer's unceremonious delisting could be lifted by the debut of Booper. Don't mind the concept

I too read reddit occassionally.

Shh, you're not supposed to admit to it

I’m sure he’ll be a player but I’ve heard sone very questionable reviews on character.

Footy clubs generally sort these things out. Plus having lots of nice guys on our list hasn’t served us that well over the last two decades.

It's football. Great footballer's are arrogant pricks. They're also young even at retirement (35+) and for the most part have been out up on a pedastal
no issue if he is a rat. I always remember boomer against West Coast one year in tassie, priddis had the ball on the boundary, wad a free kick and boomer knocked the ball out of he's hand and appealed for 50, and got it.

Dog act. Cheating even. Yet he was a brilliant player, and overall a good bloke.

Ooooh I like this. And a win at Geelong would somehow fit the woo-woo vibe…ya know how we beat them there in 07 and that started their dynasty…idk

Nice interview with Boomer about Cooper on ABC radio today.

For all the things the AFL gets wrong, the father son rule is brilliant

For all the things the AFL gets wrong, the father son rule is brilliant

Great for the spectacle and feel good factor, horribly inequitable in its results, also only job in the world that nepotism is openly disregarded.

At the end of the day though, there is some different feeling and attachment about a father-son player debuting & having a career for the club.

To sum up my point, had the rule not existed, in a vacuum, there’s a high probability that Nick Daicos would have been a North Melbourne player at this point in time, and while that would have been a great result for us, it just wouldn’t feel right for some reason.

 

[DocSholl]

Yes the AFL took far too long to make clubs pay a proper price for F/S prospects but I think the concept of giving clubs first dibs on the offspring of past players is great. Ablett, Scarlett and Hawkins Sr having talented kids doesn't change that for me

I'm not a fan of it, because of what it means to the draft. But if you at a minimum don't give points discounts on FS and academy picks it becomes a lot fairer.

 

[hellas_johnny]

Father son rule is great just need to make it so father sons arnt allowed in academy's. Looking at you blakey you weird looking prick

Great to see Cooper making his debut….regardless of all the expectations l wish him well and a long eventful career. Forge your own path Cooper, while we buckle up for the highs and occasional bumps along the journey…

[gokangas]

Yeah it's along the same lines. I feel like it's a bit in bad taste, and probably inflammatory too, to go into specifics here, but it's easy enough to find info about it with a Google search

His age helped him, I think.

 

[marklovesbeer]

Congrats to Cooper, earned his debut with rock solid VFL form, a big chance to join the " 1st kick is a goal " club. Go well young man.

$23-1 for first goal.
$1.78-1 any time goal scorer.
$61-1 most goals.

Who has wore the number 37?

I think Sammy Wright wore it for a little bit too during the 09 season? That's all I can remember lol.

Damn it's been that long before that. The number with the most dust lol.

Slay them coop

 

[Star]

Why did Boomer keep saying "it's been a long time coming"?

He was referring to this thread which began 11 years ago when Cooper was 7!

 

[Hojuman]

Ah yes. Kyron Hayden!

Ol' mate Roger Podolczak.

 

[Ry009]

Go get 'em Coops.

Hard to believe he was the little tacker in those Academy videos the club posted back in the day.
