‘Oh, that is beautiful. Isn’t it amazing what this sport does to people?’
7news.com.auHere’s the latest I can share about Cooper Trembath based on recent reporting.
- Rising star nomination in 2026: Trembath earned the round four Rising Star nomination after a three-goal, 11-disposal performance against Carlton on Good Friday, highlighting his impact in North Melbourne’s forward line and his evolving versatility.[2][3]
- Contract status: He signed a one-year extension with North Melbourne through the end of the 2026 season, confirming his place on the Kangaroos’ list after being recruited in the 2025 mid-season draft.[1]
- Career trajectory: Since joining via the 2025 mid-season draft, Trembath has shown consistent goal-scoring ability (multiple three-goal games early in his AFL career) and has contributed as both a forward and a target in the ruck when needed.[3][7][1]
If you’d like, I can pull a quick, focused summary of his 2026 stats (goals, disposals, marks, hitouts) and display it in a simple chart or table. I can also look up any recent injury updates or upcoming fixtures for the Roos.
