Former local junior star, Cooper Vickery has been named in Carlton Football Club’s VFL sides leadership group.
Vickery played with Carlton last year, and it is a testament to his hard work, selflessness and leadership
that he finds himself among the team’s leaders.
After being drafted in 2022, he spent two years on Sydney’s AFL list, gaining invaluable experience and showing glimpses of the talent that will take far in his career.
Last year, when not playing for Carlton, he played
locally for the Bairnsdale Football netball club.
He will follow that path again in 2026.
From his roots in East Gippsland to a leadership role at one of the VFL’s top clubs, Vickery’s journey continues to be a standout example for young players aiming to make their mark in football.
