I reckon this guy is working himself into form and is a real leader.

Shows more leadership than our captains.

4. Jacob Hopper (Richmond)

Hopper was good again for the Tigers with 23 touches and a goal against the Demons.

He also took 10 marks, had seven inside 50s, six score involvements and laid five tackles.

It was a serviceable showing against a strong Melbourne midfield unit and his efforts helped the Tigers to a 25-point lead during the second term.

Terrific game, again showed why we got him

[lamington]

The hopper to Taranto link up that resulted in a goal was why we signed the two on. I know we played a wafl side but hopefully “the system” finally sets for the two recruits like we saw with Robbie Tarrant

After the execution by media & the unwarranted opinions of every journo in the country, we can ask ourselves one question - where would we be without Hopper & Taranto?

Really glad we picked up Hopper and Taranto.

Probable loss this week against Geelong then 14 games we could be winning. Season not set in stone yet

Jacob hopper is defending his move to Richmond alongside fellow high profile recruit Tim Taranto. The 26-year-old says finals are still on the cards for the Tigers, and they're backing their coach to deliver.  @laura_spurway @7AFL

Looks like another injury  . Hopper subbed off and got ice on his calf.
