Toast Welcome to St.Kilda - COOPER SHARMAN!

[Munga]

Yep, eligible and in the bag for this week, surely!

 

[bird_man]

this thread is proof of why never write off a draftee because they weren't the selection you wanted purely because of positional need

Probably also proof people shouldn't be calling for the head recruiter to be sacked when he hasn't even had the chance to build a list...

Yep, Ned just finished and leapfrogged Sharman!

Four goals though, give it to a forward ffs! All these awards are always handed to mids.

 

[StHalfbackflanker]

He's a one grab player with a cool head. Rare as hens teeth and we haven't had one like that in the forward like for a very very long time.

 

[sauce_head]

How long is his contract?

and I think we finally have. Very early but he couldn’t have been more impressive so far.

2 years

Come on man, I said he should be on the watch list not the blacklist. Anyway, Libba is the junk man, give him a wagu steak and the dude would burn it to a crisp but let him loose in a dumpster and he'll go full Jamie Oliver with the ingredients.

 

[Sarcoidevo]

Looks like we are looking for our Gunston / Fritsch medium sized forward who can lead up, has a good leap and is a good grab and more importantly can kick straight

Picked it back in June

I did a post similar to this a week or so ago. The main takeaway was that Sharman had outperformed all of the forwards taken in the top 10 draft picks last year for average goals per game (JUH, Thilthorpe, McDonald, Cox etc). This was before he kicked 4 on the weekend. Also taking into account that one of his “games” doesn’t even count given he was the sub.

Picked a good time to kick four as well to keep the hype train rolling until March 2022.

 

[botts]

Well I hope he gets the nom this week the. Deserves it. Could of kicked 5. Bytel was goods as well. 17 and 2 goals. Good finish to the year from two future guns

And also shows not every good player is a first or second round pick like some would have you believe

I'm more impressed by the other things rather than simply the goals.

I'd expect his number of marks, his contested mark rate, marks inside 50 and even score assists would be well above the average's of the others you've mentioned.

Just seems such a smart footballer.

Cooper is 19th in the AFL for average goals kicked per game in 2021. Equal to Daniher and Mitch Brown.

and Jamie Elliot.

He's one of only 4 Saints to kick more than a goal per game.

not only did he not even get any game time in his ‘first’ game, but he started as the sub against Carlton as well, so only played the 2nd half of that game as well.

Exactly. He’s kicking goals because of those skills. Can’t remember him being gifted any.

 

[bird_man]

I think most would have to be aware of that by now.

We've done extremely well with late picks over the last few years.

Yes most would be , not all on here though

 

[gringo2011]

Well that's not rocket science is it. You still have a much much better chance of finding a gun in the first round. For every gamble on a late pick there are way more fails than hits.

 

[Jack Stevens]

I was surprises to see him listed at 193cm, which is the same height as Nick Riewoldt. Sharman certainly doesn't have the size to compete as a true KPP, but he's got a pretty handy advantage over the medium defender types who will be lining up against him.

Thanks for that Luke

Sharman just reeks of natural footballer.
