That's fair posh. It's a small sample. I'll cut him a fair bit of slack until we have more to work with but it's a watch this space.

Welcome to the Tigers Jacob Hopper
- Thread starter tigerman
- Start date
32 disposals, 18 contested, 10 clearances, 6 tackles and a goal. Thought he was super today.
Looked like it happened mid way through the first quarter. Looked like a corky, hoping that’s all it is
Reckon I’d bring Young back in as Essendon play two ruckmen, with one resting forward, plus Weideman, so might need a bit of extra height. Move Hugo to the wing and Ross on ball
Ross plays on ball now with Hoppers injury.
The mix forward against the Cats was good to see. Keep the % of midfield & forward for Cotch, Shai, Dusty.
Opportunity has arisen for Ross.
Reading between the lines, the saying by most that Hop 'misses the Dreamtime game' sounds more like it's just that one and then he's back against Port.
Are they calling it awareness? Hamstring? Scoop was a first quarter injury that he held onto for 30-40 minutes but couldn't walk.
Hopper gets time. And resumes his heretofore fine Richmond career.
But in the context of the R9 game Hopper's injury advantaged Geelong. In the context of the season RFC has ten goals improvement on that performance with luck. (The other kind of luck.)

Now wrong with these thoughts. He injured the soleus in the lower leg and is out medium-term (nice way to cover actual weeks
) Hope it's a short medium...
Listed as out for 4 weeks although once he starts on Meehans program that should ensure he misses the rest of the season.
See Soldo has gone from 1 week out to 4-6 weeks now and Smith back to Long-Term from Medium Term.
The mismanagement continues.
The fact that the timeline to return to play changes every week is a fair indication that our fitness and rehab team are clueless

A broken nail = forced retirement.
Unbelievable.
What the *smile* is going on?
Instead of the weeks decreasing they are increasing.
Cibcus did a hammy 11 weeks ago. He wouldve recovered quicker if his leg just fell off and they attached a new one.
Brown the superstar pick 17. His weeks have stayed the same since march.
On the replay, he got up ginger, after he was caught, from Martin's handball. Looked proppy straight away, but kept playing, seemingly under no duress.He seemed to hurt his calf early in the game & kept playing?
I think Brown had a misdiagnosed Scaphoid fracture which must've been unstable or displaced or become that way leading him to have to have surgery if I am not mistaken.
I might be wrong and happy to be corrected. In regard to Toms circumstances.
Scaphoids are a prick of a fracture due to their poor blood supply in regard to healing.
As for Hopper.
Soleus strain ? Just say Calf strain or tear, too many big words creeping into the vernacular, are they trying to baffle the peeps with BS.

Sort of relates to me craigo. Aren't the calf and soleus a bit separate? This is where the weeping leg ulcer developed. I suppose it's due to my left leg been swollen.
Soleus helps makes up the calf with other muscles but for the lay fans easier to keep it simple imo.
That does not sound like a pleasant situation TF hopes it under control.
