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

[muttley45]

Would you prefer we wait for 7 years to determine he isnt up to it like with ccj?

No, but no problems with a 1 year extension, so is CCJ contracted till 2028 now ?

 

[kool kangas]

So who we delisting to have our mandatory 3 draft picks

Dont we now have 3 picks with Drury and Laz being delisted?

We had the "luxury" of seing him being underwhelming on the tiggers list previously.

Fwiw whilst iam not in the camp that reckons cooper will make it we are still a long way off having access to the required talent to improve the list to the point of displacing him presently anyhow.

Where's this idea that he is an arrogant person (beyond the average footballer?) come from? Is this based on people here meeting him? Leaks from the club? Have seen a few people claiming this

2 senior list spots and 1 rookie

Need another senior list spot moving someone to take the rookie spot

So no matter what someone is getting delisted and moved to the rookie list?

What a fantastic opportunity this also presents for Barlow and the rest of our development team. I hope he makes it, for some reason he reminds me of the way Paul Hudson played.

Paul Hudson is very lucky he played when he did too.

You’d think so.

On a somewhat unrelated note, they turned off the water on the 2nd floor at work last week because they ‘detected a leak in the toilet’. HR have gone mad.

Let me get this right... The water in the building was turned off because of somebody taking a leak in the toilet?

What did you and the others in your workplace do? After all, there are only so many coffee mugs that you can utilise in the interim.

It was baffling at first, and it turns out that they meant there was a leak due to the new toilet fit out, not someone despoiling them.
Of course none thought to turn off the individual toilet’s water supply at the wall.
Bloody HR.
As to the coffee mug question, someone invested in about 300,000 keep cups for conferences a few years ago, so that would have been a viable alternative.

Edit: somewhat chuffed your initial take was the same as mine. No one else at work found it funny, but they are all lawyers…

I don't understand why someone would be growing vegetables in the toilet anyway.

As it stands right now......Shane's had a better career at North than Coops.

Correction

Shane Harvey right now is a better footballer than Cooper Harvey.

 

[gerry101101]

His old man should still be playing, and our club should be having its Le Bron / Bronny moment.

They haven't gone mad, they're off their heads. Got caught out just around smoko ..... imagine that, HR puffen stuff

Yep there seems to be a real blood lust to purge players. If he goes end of 2025 then so be it, but just for some context here are some of his numbers compared with Blake and RHJ.

So Cooper's kicked 33 goals, 25 behinds, had 52 tackles in 26 VFL games. Also, played 3 AFL games.
In 2024 he played 14 VFL games, kicked 12 goals, 9 behinds and had 32 tackles. Had injury issues as well.
In 2023 at VFL level he played 12 VFL games, kicked 21 goals (2 x 5 goal games) and had 20 tackles.
In 2023 at AFL level he had 3 games, 28 disposals (17 kicks, 11 handballs), 11 marks, 1 goal and 6 tackles.

For comparison, Blake Drury kicked 18 goals, 15 behinds, 46 tackles from 23 VFL games. (Cooper has 33.25 scores)
Blake had 10 AFL games (6 in 23' & 4 in 24') with 90 disposals (51 kicks, 39 handballs), 3 goals, 2 behinds, 12 tackles.
Hansen Jnr has had 20 VFL games, 22 goals, 12 behinds and 36 tackles.
Hansen Jnr has had 8 AFL games, 59 disposals (30 k, 29 h), 4 goals, 4 behinds, 8 tackles.

So just on that Cooper has kicked more goals than Blake and RHJ and had more scoring shots.
Blake and Cooper have the same number of tackles (AFL/VFL) of 58 in total. Worth another year to me.

This is spot on.

The angst on here about giving Coops another year is bordering on madness.

He had a very good 2023 and showed the capability to kick bags of goals in the VFL and also showed enough I thought in his initial AFL appearances.

His 2024 was interrupted by injury which didn't allow him to play at anywhere near his best.

Based on exposed form when he gets a run at it, I have no issue whatsoever giving him another year to prove what he can do.

 

[hellas_johnny]

Happy he got an extra year but would have preferred if it was rookie list

 

[King Corey]

Weird how a kid who has his own thread 8 years before he could even be drafted hasn't exactly captured the hearts and minds of BF North supporters.

 

[RossHenshaw]

Happy he got an extra year but would have preferred if it was rookie list

He’s a slow mid size plodder who has shown nothing nada zilch … been kissed on the dick big time with this contract….

 

[justroyal]

With Harvey, George and Now Konstanty. Let’s hope one of these guys can be the forward we need from the same draft that delivered us Sheez and Wardlaw

 

[Billy Not Really]

The idea that a Harvey or an Archer can't make it is baffling to me, it'd be like if Carey's kid was a dud.

Nepo-babies have no hunger more often than not. Cooper doesn't strike me as one who's really that hungry for being great.

 

[Nylex]

Gary Ablett Jnr didn’t start his AFL career in a blaze of glory.. wonder if someone could organise a chat between GAJnr and Coop. If the penny drops before it’s too late, who knows how good Coop could be
