Speculation Jacob Hopper [OOC 2029]

[MisterMarcus]

With Richmond very clearly needing to rebuild, I have seen some commentary from Tigers fans (here and elsewhere) that they should try to get Hopper and his big long-term contract off their books. Basically the same sort of speculation as Melbourne with Clayton Oliver

There's been a lot of talk about several Richmond players leaving, and that Richmond could end up amassing a bunch of first and second round picks in 2024. Would it be worth using one or more of these good picks to help offload Hopper to another club?

Would your club be interested? How much would Richmond need to give to get you to take a look at him?

 

[tigs2010]

Yeah no lol

 

[Colonial]

That was quick

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

Hopper going nowhere. Taranto on the other hand is someone i could see wanting to chase a flag somewhere

At the moment he is worth nothing, Richmond would have to lose a pick to get rid of him so why would they do that?

 

[Joao]

If they're getting rid of everyone, I'd love Vlaustin.

 

[tiger_tough]

There is 0 reason to get rid of him. We don't need the picks and we will struggle to pay 95% of the cap as it is (assuming the 3 lads leave).

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

If they're getting rid of everyone, I'd love Vlaustin.

If Vlaustin, Baker, Graham, Bolton and Hopper go then realistically Richmond could enter the draft with 15 draft picks before pick 64.

Id be damn worried if I was out of contract lets say

 

[Orange Agent]

Geelong supporters have always had a hard on for Hop.

I know it would suck getting absolutely flogged every week next year, but geez draft night would be fun as a Tiger's fan in that scenario.

Don't get me wrong, we wanted him. But Thank **** he choose Richmond instead of us... We dodged a bullet there

 

[Warhorse]

No we don't. Our list manager loved him and thankfully Richmond played him more

Think we might have 15 inside 72 and keep Hopper and Vlastuin

Bet he wouldn't be injured at Geelong. Our bloke couldn't organise a root in a brothel let alone an appropriate rehabilitation program

Any time country NSW is brought up they think we mean Geelong.

[Pure_Ownage]

No one will take hopper so they will keep him.

But i do thank richmond every day for offering him 7 years..sliding doors moment they did us a massive favour.

I don't particularly, but I do enjoy bumping threads that bring up the trade snub

Bring the boys home

So did Essendon by swooping on Devon Smith.

They did us one too

 

[fargothegreat]

What a load of old shit.

 

[CatToTheFuture]

What a load of old shit.

The enthusiastic palaeontologists of BigFooty will not let this one go I think

 

[Libbaaaa]

Arguably the worst contract in the league. Absolutely cooked physically and has the worst disposal in the league.

At least it's relatively cheap. Oliver's is the worst. This might podium though
