HOPPER is the least of our problems, and played a lot better than many others

Like clockwork, negative posts about hopper with the major gripe against him being a decision the club made to get him.

Our best mid today, which isn’t saying much, but you’d think if your criticising performances thered be atleast 15 other threads you’d go to first.  :whistle

Outside of the goals he kicked I thought he was seriously ordinary. Not his fault but we are too bloody slow in the midfield

He’s not our biggest problem and it’s not his fault we gave up too much to bring him to our club.

These things aside he has still underperformed. It’s a bad combo

did the club sign the contract themself did they? no they didnt. There were 2 parties  and one better be performing better than that rubbish.

scored 2 goals but gave one to them due to his stupidity in the first half

Ah yes, I’m sure everyone just turns down long term contracts with good remuneration that gets offered to them. That’s definitely how people generally approach job offers

Out of our 3 senior mids he was the best.

Was he great, outstanding? No but we can say that for all but a handful.

His 2nd half was a helluva lot better than his 1st.

I'd take his game over Prestia's, Taranto's and Dow's easily

If kind id say servicable..

We talk about pace and polish going into the midfield can anyone tell me who.

Prestia Dow Taranto Hopper Ross,  Baker, even Dusty none are super quick of them Dusty can be explosive and uses the ball real well..

As far as i can see we have one genuine mid who is quick in Bolton then we  are struggling.

 we can improve outside mid roles with personell at the club but genuine ball winning mids with genuine pace  well we are hamstrung.

Still believe Rioli Dusty and one of Banks or Trezise on the other wing and ONBALL with Taranto  Bolton and one of Nankervis or Naismith.

Have potential mids who are mostly fwds atm play high fwd in Sonsie and Campbell.Play a genuine goalkicker in Cumberland

At least get some run footskills and pace into the team where we can.
Based on injury and last weeks game.

Vlastuin - Young - Gibcus
Banks - Balta - Brown

Trezise - Taranto - D Rioli
Nankervis - Martin/McAuliffe - Bolton

MRJ - Koschitzke - Campbell
Cumberland - Lynch - Martin/Naismith

Hopper - Broad - Ross - Baker - Lefau.

MRJ and Ross because they were better than others last week.

Dusty was signed for a fortune. And although he was offered more by north, he made a financially beneficial decision. From a marketing perspective, he pulls in a truckload more at Richmond than he would have at North. To indicate Dusty turned down a long term contract with good remuneration isn't accurate.

Also on the eve of a GF appearance basically.

Norf looking dog poo as always.

Wouldn't have left for a few million more over 7 years when he could get filthy rich and cover himself in glory while at it.
