BF post on the Richmond board saying we've offered out of contract Hooper $500k for 3 years which the Lions at this stage won't match.

he is a very skillful player and i believe he a tambling will be able to work together and bring teh best out of each otehr.

imo, he will feel better playing with us alongside blingers, peterson, jon, edwards and krak if krak dtays around


my other theory is that krak is on the move and they want hooper to replace him

hooper is a classy player and dont worry about hime wantingto quit footy early this yr, it was footy that was the problem it was the bfc

id rather pay 170k a year to hooper than 250k a year to krak.

With thanks to a PMer  - apparently Hooper wants to come to us to be re-united with the family in Victoria.

He has pace to burn which would be very handy in the midfield if he could play there plus up forward, but in games I've seen him play at the Lions he's only played as a small goalsneak. Small forwards who can't play midfield are a dying breed. 

[Ramps]

forward pocket only at this stage, i see him better than krakouer but hes a squad player at this stage wouldnt want to pay more than a 4th rounder or pick 51 for hooper.

Been impressed when I've seen him play for the Lions.

Remember he missed an entire pre-season this year and still looked very sharp.

[Ramps]

personally im disappointed that the focus is on forward pockets and half forward flankers...if the clubs football department reckon thats the way to improve then we are well and truly stuffed.

We are stuffed ramps. Will we ever become a professional outfit or are just going to remaining the laughing stock forever. Just the talk is killing me, even if half of it is not true. Delist the crap on our list trade the tradables on our list for draft picks, and go for the KIDS. The only recycled player should come from the PSD.

hooper is still a kid and better than most in this years draft, has expolosive pace and skills that ppl are born with and cant learn. would love him at richmond

250k i wouldnt pay Krak 100k the way his attitude has been.

He is spent as a AFL footballer in my book

[TIGER 03]

xXx the difference between hooper and a draft pick. is the draft pick wants to play and will turn up to training. do we need another kraka, he came with heaps of potential too.

spot on mate...

who better to start with Krak. im sick and tired of paying $400 every year to watch him and Schulz.

i often ask myself do these guys actually want to play for RFC or they just love collecting their cheque every week.

get rid of em and start with the kids..look at the hawks and pies now

[Moi]

From what I've seen of him I like, but haven't seen much.
I'd have him.  He would just be a straight swap for Krak's contract

Hooper was picked up at pick 41. Coincidently so was Krak.
