Bio
Recruited via the 2021 Mid-Season Draft from Woodville-West Torrens, Cooper Sharman navigated an unconventional pathway to the elite level, having moved from local football in Melbourne to the SANFL to keep his draft hopes alive. He made an immediate impact in his debut year at St Kilda, displaying elite set-shot accuracy and strong overhead marking that defied his initially slight frame. Although briefly trialled as an intercepting defender to exploit his aerial judgement, Sharman ultimately settled as a permanent medium-tall forward capable of playing above his size. By 2026, he had developed into a consistent structural piece for the Saints, valued for his clean hands and reliability in front of goal rather than high-volume possession.
