Definately. I rated him very highly and thought it was very unlikely he'd slip to pick 23, but look what happened. All smiles from me

Re: Tayte Pears
First footage of Seen of Pears.
With this the only footage i've seen. I'll make an uneducated statement and say he looks good. Ticks boxes - Pace, first grab marking / ball gathering, disposal, balance, aggression.
Anyone got some info on what his weeknesses are. Didn't look like he's got much of a left foot in the footage shown here. Other than that. Anybody got anything to add?
Cheers,

Re: Tayte Pears
i spoke to someone "in the know" and he told me that pears is a similar player to that of adam hunter.
i only saw him play in the carnival but would others who have seen more of him play tend to agree with that comparison?

Re: 16.Tayte Pears
He is a very quick tall defender, uses the ball pretty well and attacks the footy damn hard. Look forward to seeing him in action thorughout next season !

Re: 16.Tayte Pears
I'm starting to get the feeling that he's being groomed for a role similar to that if Sean Wellman back in the day.
The guy that'll hurt you on the rebound with good skills and pretty good pace but at the same time be handy in a contest.
I certainly wouldn't mind if he ended up in Wellers' class.

Re: 16.Tayte Pears
And another thing he can do, which we have been crying out for for years, is he can shut down an opponent.
We need 1 of him or Darcy to be able to turn into a lock down backman, hopefully Darcy, as we need one badly.

Re: 16.Tayte Pears
If he can he turn out to be half as good as Wellman, i'll be rapt. Like Ryder Is God said will be the steal of the draft.

We got very good value for this pick - I'm looking forward to seeing Tayte in the red n black in '08.

Pears Is a Legend! Rated him highly from the beginning. Didnt think we would get at Pick 23

Re: 16.Tayte Pears
Yeah i was pretty surprised that he slid to pick 23, but i think hes a great pick-up and hopefully he can add some great run out of defence aswell as shuting down a forward

Looks like a man amongst boys in his Highlights Reel, hopefully it's the same story in 6-7 years time.

Re: 16.Tayte Pears
He may actually wind up a half back flanker who can pinch hit in the midfield due to his pace and skills in close, very similar prospect to David myers with a more mature frame at this point in time IMO (just hasn't had the experience that Myers has in the midfield).
