What a friggen joke. For services to football....services they mean screwing it up I guess.

These orders of Australia are laughable, all these cronies just nominate each other,

Fair go Mate I'm no Cooper fan but give credit when it is due. He didn't receive it for services to football alone!.......about which we could argue. When you have achieved what he has then come back and criticise! It is not as if he asked for the recognition.

So you have made a statement.. Tell us what he has done.. All I know is he was instrumental in destroying the WAFL as we know it.. Lets see a Bio maybe you could Google him Cus? Do you work for the WAFC :(

I have not respect for him or his bunch of WAFC/WAFL AFL lackies :oops:

Here you go guys, here is what I found from the Government honours website. Whatever you think of how this guy has run the WAFC or the direction that footy is going, you have to give him credit for the range of community stuff he has been involved in. I'll bet a lot of it has been unpaid. Easy to sit on the sidelines and throw grenades.......

Despite his role in WAFL at the moment the bloke has done a fair bit with his life, so credit where it is due.

Sorry Cardy but google him yourself! I don' t like what has happened with respect to the WAFL and the alignment but you have to give credit where credit is due. Cooper has done more for society in general than most of us! By the way I don't work
for the WAFL!
