Alistair Lynch's view of Hooper:

Hooper, in the football wilderness eight months ago, could be anything.

His form in the second half of the year, with his blistering pace and his second and third efforts, was as exciting as any small forward in the league.

Tigers in Lions' den
Mark Stevens | Courier Mail | October 10, 2007 12:00am

RICHMOND yesterday stepped up its campaign to lure Brisbane Lions speedster Rhan Hooper with senior club officials visiting Ipswich to talk to him.

The hit-and-run visit was headed by coach Terry Wallace. Wallace, assistant coach Craig McRae, a triple Brisbane premiership player, and Tigers utility Richard Tamblyn (sic) met Hooper in Ipswich last night.

It's understood the Tigers are prepared to offer the out-of-contract Hooper $500,000 over three years.

Brisbane is expected to meet with Hooper on Friday but because of salary cap restrictions the Lions will struggle to match Richmond's monetary package.

Hooper's better off in Melbourne - Ipswich's a hell-hole.

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.

It is forward line speed and defensive pressure I think we are looking for in Hooper- would be a very handy pick up

That's a good point as the pressure from our forwards is ordinary. For Hooper to make it in the AFL though he'll still need to be able to push in the midfield too like a Leon Davis who saved and resurrected his footy career by doing both roles of midfield and forward goalsneak.

looking unlikely.

trade schulz and keep our picks boys.
