Recommitted Alex Pearce [Re-Signed to 2025]

[The Nostradamus]

Probably the second best KPD out of contract this year behind Moore. Free agent also

Has had injury issues but seems to be over them, this will be his big pay day assuming he stays fit and has a good year

 

[Bulldogs85]

He would be a perfect fit for us

 

[Funbeanman]

It will be very interesting how Alex Pearce

does go this season and whether he'll re-sign with Freo or he goes elsewhere

 

[Northernsoul74]

He would be a perfect fit for us

I’d love him and we’ve been linked strongly in the past. But his injuries are really concerning and no idea what he’d be worth. Probably feels like he owes Freo as well assuming they want him.

 

[Ge3ks]

Samurai Bone Broth will stay with Freo until the day a Tassie team gets greenlit.

 

[aussierulesrules]

Has averaged a whopping 9 games per season since his debut and missed two whole seasons due to injury.

Massive buyer beware.

We’ll be all over him!

 

[jakefooty23]

I think he will stay but if he does leave he most certainly won't go to North.

You mean to a team that plays 4 games a year in tassie would be a definite no

Was a selling factor for greenwood who had only ever played in front of fam in tassie once

Greenwood was delisted.

 

[The Nostradamus]

Greenwood was delisted.

With the promise of going on their rookie list but we know what happened next

 

[Moist Biscuit]

Don't reckon he goes.

 

[The 747]

Good player but carries a lot of risk in terms of availability. Some club with cap space may be willing to take a punt.

Reckon he will stay at Freo.

 

[Slysh]

Assume he stays but he is definitely the sort of player that could leave for the best contract if another club comes to the table with a bit extra.

With his body he might just be looking for the best financial security he can get

I will be very surprised if he isn't signed by mid season.

The thing with his injuries is that they're not soft tissue reoccurring or anything, but all impact injuries? So I don't really think it's THAT much of a concern

 

[freo_leo29]

Absolutely zero chance of going anywhere UNLESS Tassie gets a team, then we are in real Danger and he could be their first captain

 

[eastfreo75]

If his body did break down again, he might retire.

The guy has been to hell and back.

Another club would be taking a massive risk considering his injury history.

Only a team in contention who take the risk but they would be stressed cap wise to give out the coin.

Seriously doubt it tbh. Despite his injuries he's been part of the leadership group for a while now. I doubt he'd move state for "a little bit extra".

I'm only really worried is a Tassie team comes in or if another club offers substantially more than what he's getting at Freo, in which case good luck to them.

Well when I say extra I mean years, if a team is willing to give him a longer deal it could be tempting for a guy who has struggled to get on the park.

Now I doubt it happens as well, assume he will stay at Freo but his next contract could be his last if he struggles again with his body.

I getcha now. Agreed the financial security of a longer term deal could be tempting. Despite his injury history though I would hope Freo look after him in his next contract as much as possible. Would be a blow to the culture if he left.

 

[Northernsoul74]

If he gets through this year injury free I’d take the punt and give him a long term deal

I’d love him at the Dogs.

 

[Sully90]

Putting off talks til later in the year

Keeping Mckay to one goal tonight. He's upping his price every week now.

 

[foxdog50]

Id consider him at Geelong, only down side is his injuries, and can't seem to play a full season.
We're screaming out for another Key Defender to help out SDK, but his not over 30 so I doubt we will be interested...

 

[freo_leo29]

The blokes captaining our side over Mundy right now, he aint going anywhere


Probably putting off talks in case Tassie gets announced to come in the next 5 years, will tailor his contract length towards that

The bloke is almost 27 years old and played 60 odd games

I doubt whether Tassie will be in the team in 5 years or not is at the front of his mind
