David Strooper

David Strooper (born 25 February 1968) is a former Australian rules footballer who played with Fitzroy, Sydney Swans and St Kilda in the Victorian/Australian Football League (VFL/AFL).

Originally from South Colac, Strooper was a utility player who was often used as a key forward. He spent much of his time at Fitzroy in the reserves and had his best return in 1990 with 14 senior games. After playing just six league games the following year, Strooper nominated for the 1991 AFL draft and was picked by Sydney with the 43rd selection.

He made an immediate impression at Sydney in 1992, with four goals in his first game and a five-goal haul in his second.

Strooper was later part of a successful Northcote Park side, which competed in the Diamond Valley Football League.
