Title: Jacob Hopper - 2024 expectations?
Post by: one-eyed on January 09, 2024, 11:04:24 PM

What are your expectations for Hopper in his second season as a Tiger and what would be a good year for him?

With an injury free run he will be top 5 JDM

Agree
Reckon he’s being judged EXTREMELY harshly by a lot on here , who will eat their words

Definitely a better player than a certain poster that is currently leading the favourite player game

Just needs a good run with injury

There were glimpses of class but overall his 2023 was underwhelming.

I wait with bated breath to see if he can deliver in 2024 .

If he stays fit I can see him having a much better year.

Also wouldn't mind seeing him across HF as a medium resting forward if Dusty has gone to the midfield. Seems a decent kick for goal.

Thought considering his injuries last year he was ok

Been re-watching some of our 2023 games and in a number of them where he got whacked by some on here for his output his inside work was excellent.

So now that he is over the injuries, with a full pre-season under his belt reckon he can easily be top 5 in the JDM.

Personally expecting a huge year




Pity he didn't make the final cut for the Favourite Player game; he'd be getting my votes   :shh :whistle ;D :eyebrow

I reckon he’s a tad slow and doesn’t have a huge engine (maybe knee injuries have affected his ability to have enough pre seasons to build that base).
Those 2 things are getting in the way.
