Welcome to the Tigers Jacob Hopper

[UKTiger]

Doubt he'll go that long if these injuries keep occurring. Either way, it's a loss to us so far.

We have to hope our conditioning team can fix him up for long term as we need his class in the firsts

Knee surgery tomorrow. Arthroscope.

Knee surgery tomorrow. Arthroscope.

A quick looksee to check what, if any, damage there is inside. Hope nothing serious is found

Probably some cartilage that needs to be trimmed up and cleaned out.

Hopper to have surgery to clean out his knee
Looks like he’ll be missing for 4 or more weeks

Hey on the bright side (dark side) there won't be any reduction to his onfield performance as of late.

Bugger. Looks like we are tanking for picks from Round 2 (or is it Round 3 because of the OR??).

The way we’re playing we can ask for compo picks as well

The MRI would have picked something up. Ongoing issue? Arthroscopy will provide a better look and a chance to clean.

Not good for the longer term.

Just signed a 8 yr extension
That should get him to 50 games.

20 possessions in a half playing on Cripps.

Get his knee right we have time.

Puzzling this situation. Played 2 games and how could he need a clean up. I don't buy it. Why wasn't it done in preseason when they said his body is right. Fitness and conditioning is messy incompetent for me need to go.

 

[Little Ziggyadee]

Out 6-8 weeks.
In Richmond terms, will miss entire season

4-6 according to website.

Agree with others.
The fitness and conditioning is a dog's breakfast.

 

[thegdog]

Another season written off. Only 5 years to go. Really detest getting involved in long term contracts. 5 yrs max for a gun only, take it or leave it

 

[Tigers2011]

Rehab the injury. Get fit. Go again. Re-assess at the end of the year. Unlikely to be tradeable. May have to suck this up for a while longer yet.
