Player Watch #7 Harry Cunningham

Harry Cunningham

Player Profile
Harry Cunningham is one of the quickest players at the Sydney Swans, is clean by hand and foot and can play in defence, on a wing and in the forward line. The 2012 draftee was in blistering form over the opening seven rounds of the 2019 campaign, before injury limited him to just two games over the remainder of the season, so expect him to be hungry for a comeback 2020 year. Draft history: 2012 Rookie Draft selection (Sydney) No. 93; 2012 AFL Draft rookie elevation (Sydney) selection No. 107

He reminds me of Nick Smith. Just quietly gets the job done each week. The sort of player opposition supporters would ask "Who?" but every Swans fan knows he is extremely vital to the structure of the team.

SWANS MAKE FREE AGENT OFFER​

SYDNEY free agent Harry Cunningham has a two-year offer to stay at the Swans as the club marches into a preliminary final.

Cunningham is an unrestricted free agent and played his 200th game for the club earlier this year and the extension would take him through to the end of 2026, with the reliable Swan keen to stay.

The 30-year-old has played 21 games this season, and 45 of the Swans' past 48 games since the start of 2023.

Sydney successfully secured the signatures of its five priority re-signings this season – Errol Gulden, Will Hayward, Ollie Florent, Logan McDonald and James Rowbottom – with Cunningham among a small group of Swans who remain unsigned for next season.

The defender had 15 disposals and seven tackles in the Swans' come-from-behind win over Greater Western Sydney in last week's qualifying final. – Callum Twomey

Doesn't look even close to cooked. As good as ever and one of the best small defenders in the game. Please sign Harry!

I think that's a good show of faith by the club, definitely deserves the two years.

His last two years have been great. He really has become the new nick smith.

He had that quiet patch after his injury. Which I think he was still carrying a niggle or some limitations, because he was playing at his current levels just prior to that. So outside of that injury period, where his performances dropped off a little, he has been a solid part of our team for a good 4-5 years after taking a while to find his feet and lock down a position.

Great player and no doubt he'll re-sign.

Will be the elder statesman if Defence after Rampe retires. It's easy to imiagine him stepping up and running the backline after Ramps goes.

Great news for a great fella and fabulous clubman.

I want this 2024 flag just as just much for Harry Cunningham, as I do for for Luke Parker

This. They go back to their fancy beach homes in Sydney after the season ends, I need it more than they do.

Just reading the McKirdy article, I can’t believe this is Harry’s first prelim in 10 years!

Got the job done without any fuss... true to Harry's on-field performances.

 

[Adnico26Parker]

I was waiting for this post

 

[Ticky009]

Thrilled he's signed on for another two years. Just a great guy and better yet a wonderful player for us who gets the job done. Still recall that length of field goal from early this year which Harry finished off - displays exactly what he's about. Hard working and always there for the team. Cracking player for us.

 

[DeathlyAccurate]

This just warms the cockholes.

Wonderful news!

Fabulous news. Love to think he can make it to 250 games like Rampe - a great, unsung hero of the club.

Harry Cunningham the Silent Assassin. Who will he silence next?

What an absolute gun. Best small defender in the game. Only conceding 5 goals in a season is insane

 

[Nool Carpenna]

Loved Harry popping up on centre-wing and adding his long, accurate kick to the all out assault. Credit to Aliir, who fought valiantly, but the Port defence were visibly wrecked.

His contribution is still trending upward imo, and so happy we've got him for another two years.

I'm sure Harry has eyes only for a premiership medal, but i want more for him. His next personal milestone to be an actual celebration... 250 on a day the Swans wrap up a threepeat would be nice.
