Pears not even mentioned in Neil Craig's email. Disappointing.

Pears return was discussed on Sports tonight, though the consensus was moving Hurley forward. Looks like St Kilda will bring in McCartin to stretch our defence.
I am still leaning towards Steinberg or Gwilt playing forward.

Well if Steinberg or Gwilt were to play forward I would just as soon, in fact I'd prefer to, see Pears play.

If we play Gwilt, Steinberg or Hurley forward this week Tayte may as well pack his bags now.
How about Morabito?
Menzel?

How do these clubs manage their lists keeping injured crocks on there.
Once again more horseshit backed by zero fact.

Never realised that Pears 8 years on the list, O'Brien and Kavanagh 4 years, Browne and Steinberg 5 years on the list for limited return was horse-s**t.
Its a fact.
Hawthorn:
Woodward 4 years on the list 2 games
Jed Anderson 4 years 10 games
Litherland 6 years on the list 12 games
Simpkin 28 years old 37 games.
Every club gives kids a decent chance to succeed. We are not unique. We are no different.

The crucial difference here is that before injury, Pears was best 22.
The guy can play.

Might as well leave if the Hurley comments are true.

Pears has played enough footy in the last two years to be selected for the AFL if his form was good enough.

Might as well retire now.
Hurleys comments?

Hurley playing forward over bringing him in.

Not really. Played defence and wouldn't be ahead of any of the ones last night.
I don't watch VFL. But would you be comfortable with his delisting at the end of the year (presuming current form continues)?

Yeah, I can't see him doing much further down the track.
Is he a chance this week?
Unfortunately for Pears I think he'll be the first delisting at years end.
Real shame. Looked very good at times when very young. A few injuries and never recovered.

Makes you wonder what happened.
Can a player lose so much through injury, or were peoples perceptions clouded a bit by him getting an above average few games, and us seeing what we wanted to see in a young bloke.

Simillar to Solly.
What’s more, he looks to be a fair way down the pecking order.
We brought in Gwilt, who has played plenty of games, and Steinberg is also getting games ahead of him.
Looks like he’s not even gonna get a look in this year.
