The Sydney Swans drafted Cooper Vickery with Pick 27 of the 2022 NAB AFL Draft. A versatile defender who is able to play on the wing, Vickery arrives at the Swans having enjoyed a consistent NAB League season and impressive display at the National Championships. He averaged 17.3 disposals for Gippsland, and reached double-figure possessions in every game bar one, and starred in Round 8 and 9 respectively with back-to-back 25-disposal hauls. With an elite ability to rebound off halfback using his speed which allows him to get on the outside with, Vickery may be light bodied but also has proven to win contested footy. Averaging 16.8 disposals, as well as 3.5 marks and 3.5 rebound 50s for Vic Country, Vickery will thrive amongst a squad that boasts the likes of Dane Rampe, Jake Lloyd, and co.
