I’ve defended hopper because he seems to be getting the blame for the draft picks we gave up and the length and $$$ contract we offered.

I am wondering whether the club did their proper due diligence though and put him through a proper medical examination. He was coming off a major knee injury which saw him miss 2/3rds of his last season with the giants, and so far has now missed 8 games (subbed out of 2 others) with knee related issues.

Like FJ is saying, how could anyone require a ‘clean-out’ 2 games into a season.

I'd bet $50 they knew he had a torn meniscus or similar and decided to see how he went, then it flared up and they opted for surgery.

Probably why he faded 2nd half when it got too swollen and sore.

Pathetic our fitness and conditioning staff amateur like. Played 2 games and his in for a clean up lol.  Why wasn't this this done in preseason surely they knew bunch of clowns.

Confirmed hammy.

Stayed out there to man the mark just after he did it by the member's boundary but then took the next centrebounce rather than going off.

Had to be a hammy
Staying out there was selfish stupidity

I’ve never seen anything like this tbh. These injuries are just constant, every single game.

Looked like a knee.

Question has to be asked?  Did he come back too early? 
These players who get consistently injured should be coming back through the vfl. 

[Chuck17]

Can we have our draft picks back?

[tdy]

I wonder how long he will be out.

On one leg Hopper is a very descriptive name

How can our rehab staff clear him to play??

[Francois Jackson]

Yeah well what more do you want to say about this guy and this clubs thought process on this?

Have we woken up yet?

Standards have fallen into a heap of poo. First to select such a dud, and second for the dud himself to be so selfish to come back on, and prove to everyone  he will always be  an injury prone b grader.

What a massive stuff up.

[Andyy]

It's a shame, he was having a good game before that

[one-eyed]

Jon Ralph on Fox Footy reckons Hopper will miss 4-5 weeks.

Bit rough. He was playing very well before he went down.
