My ex girlfriend had acute angina...and great tit.s too.

Can't have been too cute. Otherwise she wouldn't be your ex.

said this when he was first arriving

I reckon he has slimmed down since his Giants days , used to be a bull for them.

Can we trade him out for a 1st rounder and bring in Kennedy for a second?

Going to predict he will make a lot of us (include me) eat some humble pie next year

Just has to stay fit. that's the key for him.

Had eq4th most hard ball gets in the comp in '21.
Hopefully he gets back to that form with some luck on the injury front.

Uninjured this guy is a beast inside mid but unfortunately we have not seen his best due to issue's

He looks really hungry and fit in the footage

 

[Dr Tigris]

If he stays fit we'll be a beast midfielder. Very central to our fortunes this year

 

[TheDyerLegacy]

Hope he can stay fit, I remember that game where he was dominating then got injured and you can see the frustration on his face. We’re going to need players with passion to drive us forward

FIT MY ASS, he has to be able to use the footy, cant have him and tt spudding it up in the midfield.
NO excuses. go tigers.

Remember when he was going at 33% Disposal Efficiency during quite a few games?

It's a big problem. If you are going at less than 50% you are basically going at more than 50% for the opposition or at least feeding them 50/50 groundballs

Thats the other players fault as they cant get to where he delivers the ball

Will win JD medal in 2025

Needs to stop the chip shots at goal and not making the distance

The only issue with these stats, that make it look bad for Hopper. My question is how hard are the other players working to get the ball off him. If you look at Baker, Bolton & Short last season, they were half assing it for most of the season as they had given up on the year & there were other players that admitted at the start of last season that didn't buy into the changes with the new coaching group. So hopefully if Hopper can stay fit & the players can buy into a new style of gameplan, we will see some bigger improvement in Hopper & the rest of the team.

agree. often hopps had the ball and evaded traffic, looked goalwards, looked left, looked right ready to dish off saw doughnuts so just hoiked it or scrubbed it forward. will improve once his team mates wake up/read him better.
