ANALYSIS
While Hopper being cleared suggests he may not face an extended absence after being concussed in the Round 20 loss to Port Adelaide, he won't be healthy enough to give it a go in Round 21 against Geelong.

Gets concussed in loss
Hopper suffered a concussion during the Round 20 loss to Port Adelaide but was cleared of further structural damage after a kick to the head sent him to the hospital, according to his team.
ANALYSIS
Hopper is sure to miss at least one game due to the concussion and it remains to be seen how much longer after that it will take to seem return. A place just outside finals after 20 games means Hopper will be missed if he can't come back soon to help them make a late-season push.
