Welcome to the Tigers Jacob Hopper

When Hopper is fit and running he is doing more than OK and again showed us what he has on Sunday especially as he was coming back from his latest injury. We just have to restrict his on ground minutes a little until his body gets conditioned to the game and then we will be able to see what we bought a couple of seasons ago

If we’re worried about Hops playing a full game and McAuliffe doesn’t yet have the tank for a full game, why not tactical sub one so they play a half each?
Because you could safely bet your house that 30 seconds after we made the tactical sub, someone else would get injured n we'd be playing one short on the bench for the rest of the game.

Elite at going to ground. Elite.
Spot on goes to ground to get his possessions so he doesn't have to spread, Dusty never went to ground.
On the ground you are out of the play

He jumped into contests all night.
He played like he was playing on the mcg in 1989 in the middle of winter.
He spent the night on all 4's.
*smile* he needs to biggest preseason in AFL history. He needs to wake up and go for runs with Tarranto.
 
Seems to have got through the game unscathed especially as the amount of hard work he put in. Nothing really flashy but always busy and generally effective in his work. So deceptive
 
Playing very similar to Prestia getting possessions but not driving hard to chase or pressure due there history of soft tissue injuries.
