Re: Infectious Andrew Hooper sends Western Bulldogs wild

You didn't see much of Hoops on TV, did he do a lot of presenting and was just over looked for Barry.

Just trying to Gage his work rate on the night.

Hotdog60, Hoops ran & ran. He did what was asked of him. not too many touches but opened the zone up for the likes of Bazza.
Hoops was sorely missed at Willy tho, and may have been who they needed to get over the line.

After seeing both Willy teams bow out, it was exciting to have a win and proceed to our 3rd Prelim in a row.

He did a bit, got mobbed a couple of times leading...actually thought a couple of other frees might've been paid.

Agreed, i thought that was the turning point in the game, seeing all the players run from everywhere was bloody great, it almost reminds of Hulk Hogan being totally down & out, then something clicks, he starts shaking, clenching the fists, and rises back from the dead, the spirit was back in the side.

He's like the Hulkster, just way, way, way, way, way, way, way smaller. Useless Trivia # 15,612 - He was born a few months before Wrestlemania VI, the site of the famous Hogan vs Ultimate Warrior battle.

Is it too harsh to nickname him Chunk?

It's great to see a young player enthusiastic and committed. His celebration after his first goal was fantastic and great to see the excitement generated by it and the number of teammates that came to congratulate him. I remember another contest in the near the goal square where he put his body on the line and helped create a goal. He also showed that Sydney were worried about him as he led his opponent to the ball earning a couple of free kicks. I just hope he puts his head down and is able to continue to improve and become a regular in the side.

No.

I tried to stop myself, but every time he was involved I kept shouting "go the little fat kid".

I first saw Hoops at the intraclub game earlier this year and instinctively thought he had won a raffle where 1st prize was a chance to train with the team.

He didn't look like a league footballer back then, but I reckon he will be alright.

The last time I saw a celebration like that was when Justin Charles kicked a goal to put us just 48 points down with five minutes to go in the last quarter. Charlesy loved a goal.

I thought he was good for us last night but I don't think he stay in the line up if Morris will be right.

I thought his celebration was very Tyson Lane like, NO ONE enjoyed his own goal more so than Lane.
