The former GWS midfielder endured another injury-interrupted campaign in 2024, restricted to just 12 games due to knee and hamstring issues.

When fit he delivered by averaging 23.8 disposals, consistently amassing 20-plus disposals and multiple clearances frequently.

But he’ll be hoping to return to his All-Australian squad form of 2021 before long.

The opportunity is now there for Hopper to take charge of this developing Richmond midfield group and help drive the club forward.


Honours: GWS Giants 3rd best and fairest 2019, 2021; All-Australian nominee 2021; NAB AFL Rising Star nominee 2016.


Brownlow Medal: 2023 votes 1; career votes 21.


Previous AFL club: GWS Giants (2016-22: 114 games, 42 goals).


Draft history: 2015 NAB AFL Draft GWS Giants Academy selection (GWS Giants) No. 7; 2022 NAB AFL Draft traded by GWS Giants for No. 34 (Toby McMullin), 2023 1st round selection.
