What a rise it’s been for Cooper Lord, in what hasn’t been the traditional pathway into elite football.

The midfielder went undrafted in his top-age year, but he didn’t let that affect him, instead going to work on his game and heading to North Melbourne in the VFL before ultimately getting selected in the mid-season draft of 2024.

From there, Lord hasn’t looked back, earning a Carlton debut in 2024, winning an AFL Rising Star nomination in 2025 and then re-signing a three-year contract in 2026.

The fact all of it comes alongside best mate Jagga Smith is an added bonus for the emerging midfield duo.
