Hopper posted 74 in Richmond's 36-point flogging at Docklands — his best score in weeks, but this is damage control in a team being hammered. He's overused at the CBA for the output he delivers, and the R9 post-match was scathing. Cash gen is -$7,047/wk from $339k and the fundamental disconnect between role and output is unchanged. Trade him this week — one above-BE score doesn't fix negative cash gen at that rate.
