Player Watch #47: Cooper Trembath - 3mo after running around for Blackburn, has kicked 9.4 in 3 weeks - has signed a 1yr deal

[spicerFanClub]

Feel a club like Geelong with a competent development program, could improve his kicking and make a player of Cooper.

But we don't (apart from ruckmen), we never seem to improve any areas of weakness of any players we pick up. It's why so many seem to peak in their first couple of years, then stagnate or go backwards.

Geelong also has a defined onfield system that has been successful, which results in two things: players commit to the strategy; and new players who come in only need to play their role. They don't magically discover players better than other teams like the media likes to fawn over, the players that come in play a known system and when they play all they have to focus on is playing their role with 22 other players around them that know their role. Contrast this to us where we had 5 new systems in 4 years, no player is fully comfortable with the system and our lack of success leads to a feeling that new players need to win games off their own boot / do more than their role.

Just seems wasteful to have him here less than a year, the Ham selection still baffles me

yea cooked. he didnt even look good in state leagues

 

[giantroo]

3 goals so far

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

Trembath 3.1, 4 marks (2 contested)

 

[The_General#1]

His debut will not be far away. There will be zero harm in seeing what he’s got in the big time.

Set shot routine is better than Maleys

Set shot routine is better than Maleys

So you are saying Cooper actually has one. Good start at least.

[Kangaroos4eva]

2.2, 13 disposals at 69%, 2 tackles and 7 marks (5 contested).

 

[spicerFanClub]

Was good today. Gets in good spots and competes. Might have a bit to go when it comes to AFL quality defenders but definitely worth keeping around.

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

Doubt it happens, but he isn’t super far off from playing at afl level.

Good luck kid.

 

[Flawed Genius]

He's a big solid ****.

 

[Disco Dew]

This kid can make it. A lot to like about him.
Go well!

 

[gokangas]

Might be hard to tell the difference.

 

[CURVE]

Congratulations Cooper. Kick a dozen and may just keep Souv out the line up.

 

[Themanbun]

Hold your marks lad.

I have been on the Trembath wagon for a long time. I saw him play at Eastern Ranges and Blackburn. He got farked over in the 2023 draft by another AFL club. He mentioned this indirectly on an interview when he got drafted. I also believe BH wouldn’t commit to putting him on their VFL list so he came to us.

Trembath will be a star. He's made for the AFL. This is a seriously very talented young man.

 

[Topparoo]

Go well young fella

Big call, I pray that you are right Will he play forward or back? Seems like he can do both.

 

[roos_fanatic08]

Excited about this one! Kid has talent.

Hopefully he can take Aleer deep and expose him for the terrible one on one player he is!!

 

[BlueanWhiteKanga]

Have we got a couple of good MSD picks?! Signs are looking positive.

Go well Cooper!
