My Football Story - Cooper Craig-Peters
Koorie Youth Project Cooper Craig-Peters shares his footy story about his favourite team Melbourne.
I saw my first AFL game at 5 months old, Melbourne versus Hawthorn at the MCG. Mum and dad took a photo of me eating my first McDonalds chip.
My favourite players are Nathan Jones, Aaron Davey and David Rodan.
I have been playing since I was seven before that I was went Auskick.
I play for Sanctuary Lakes Sharks and I love playing footy.
My position in footy is rover. I am a fast runner and I love the hardball gets. One is my number, when I played for Interleague with WRFL I was lucky to get number 1 as well.
I am very proud of my Grandpa Glen “Piccolo” Peters. He was named in the Healesville team of the century. Unfortunately I never got to meet him. Hopefully I can be as good a player as he was.
