Player Watch #2 Jacob Hopper

[copthat]

Absolute gun.

 

[Karp3_dm]

He picked us for the money let's be honest,
we were dumb to try and get him he should be at Geelong right now.

At least they got their equivalent in Worpel now
4 years too

 

[Wooden Robot]

Too much negativity, hes only human

I don't blame Hopper.
But I do the bonehead coach for a lack of standards and unwillingness to impose any.
He's become an absolute liability, but what's he to do when he keeps getting picked?
It's sending a poor message to the young guys that any old effort is good enough.
I pity our potential young guns coming into this current culture.

 

[DickieKnee]

I think when Smillie and Cumming string good games together in the VFL Hopper will be dropped.

Say Smillie and Cumming in a sentence again

I will be smiling and cumming if that happens.

In Smillie's case, in 2029.

 

[voorhees]

mans been copping a media smacking the last month.
mentally this would have to be playing on his mind and confidence.
At the end of the day, it's up to him to elevate his performance and output for the team.
He cant improve his speed, but his physicality he can- push yourself Jacob!

 

["The Roar Is Back"]

His body language, in the OHB selection announcement video , says it all .
Get his arse and shit role model antics as far away from the developing kids as possible .

 

[JackNah_8]

Did he request a trade last season? His attitude doesn't seem that great

accept shit behaviour you get shit outcomes.
It’s not the behaviour of someone that is engaged in any workplace far less a football club .

Turning away for a second to spit some water out? Carn.

back of the group outside the coaches vision . Forget the money his is on , just consider that he is an experienced player in putrid form . It’s a really really low standard , when he shoudl be driving it .

 

[azztiger]

His weaknesses are well documented in this thread, but I do also believe we would be an even worse rabble without his body with the kids out injured.

At the end of the day he was an All Australian and a competent AFL level player, we need to find a way to get the best out of him and by season's I am hoping he is rotating more fwd.

I wouldn't oppose to rotating him anywhere just to mix things up on the field and to be honest and let's find out about Sonsie & Kane.

I think the only place he can rotate to is the bench. He's too slow to play anywhere else, and he's too slow to do that properly.

How long ago was it now that he was all Australian?

Named in squad in 2021, never made the team

 

[Tackle Bag]

I think he has played his best footy when Prestia has been out of the side. I’d like to see that before years end.

"hes having a tough patch at the moment well have an honest review of his game and wrap our arms around him and continue to play him in every single game for the next 3 years."

 

[DustinsGuns]

Has to be dropped. Just has to be.

"highly rated in our four walls"

 

[lizard man]

Needs to regain his composure for next week as we take on the kangas
