Hopper has continued to impress every year during his time with the Giants as evidenced in this year's count.
He was one of the better players for the Giants on grand final.
Hopper had a consistent season averaging solid possession numbers each game in his 23 appearances in 2019.
He also kicked 10 goals when resting forward.
According to the GWS Giants, Hopper is one of their best inside ball-winners and will only get better as he continues to developed.
Hopper is well known as having the ability to take good grabs for his size and he is a tough match-up when he does play forward.
Hopper is now enjoying a well deserved break away from the football field before pre-season training gets underway once again.
