VERY well - in fact, if I remember correctly he was the 2nd only player to EVER be introduced/blooded in a Final ... he is also solid of body and the Bulldogs lost numerous players last year - some of their new recruits may help replace them, but the Bulldogs obviously hold Hooper in high regard and that's the most important thing ... you could have chosen Mitch Banner last year based on his amazing pre-season performance, but Port clearly didn't rate him so he played only 5 or 6 games.
