A definite yes to Hopper but not sure about Williams. Dea was on his way out until his 100+ on the weekend.

Mathieson also next week (rubs hands together)

Is there any kind of forward rookie on the horizon ?

Not heaps.

Markov (117k Richmond) was an emergency last week.
Yarran (117k Freo) has been injured but is apparently a week or 2 away from coming back and should play given Freos situation.
Long (123k Essendon M/F) was mentioned as a possiblt0 debut this coming week so that could be interesting.
Hipwood (161k Brisbane D/F) was an emergency last week. Highly rated in the preseason, they might want to get some games into him in the second half of the year.
West (192k Brisbane R/F) not really a rookie but scored 72 against Gawn. Could be solid R/F cover If Brisbane decide to play them both.

Jackson Paine is a rookie priced forward who played his first game of the year on the weekend.

Think I will leave Hopper as a $200K rookie is not the best timing at this stage of the year for me.

And has had a role change to defense. I like his chances of getting a game down there better than as a forward.

I don't think Doddy was implying to trade Trengove in. Just pointing out he had been in some good form in the 2's and worthy of promotion to the 1's.

Yes I know, the Noooooo was more directed at imploring Roosy to hold off picking him for another 2 weeks so he'll be a perfect Rd 15 upgrade after the Dee's bye, bit inconvenient getting him in 1 or 2 weeks before his bye
