Hopper was just one of two Greater Western Sydney (GWS) footballers to be named in the squad, alongside Toby Greene.
It was the first time the 24-year-old had been named in the squad, as he shoots for his first ever All Australian jacket.
Hopper has gone to a new level this season, averaging a career-high 26.5 disposals a game, 6.6 clearances and 4.4 inside 50s.
He sits seventh in the AFL for total clearances and has kicked 10 goals from his 21 games.
It has already been a big season for Hopper, enjoying his 100th AFL game with a career-high 41-disposal effort in the Giants' one-point loss to Gold Coast Suns at Ballarat.
The All Australian team will be named on Thursday night, ahead of the Giants' elimination final against cross-town rival Sydney in Tasmania on Saturday.
The game will be held at 3.20pm at University of Tasmania Stadium in Launceston.
