let us know the finer details please, Igloo.

let us know the finer details please, Igloo.

Hmm, it's a stretch remembering a few hours back.
But I'll give it a go:

-Likens himself to Easton Wood, chose Wood as his mentor.
-Athleticism is his major strength. Talked about how he played basketball, vertical leap was mentioned.
-Boyd has been the best this pre-season (surprise, surprise)
-Talked about the pace of the game, bigger bodies, etc (typical new guy stuff)
-Will be studying to be a paramedic part time next year
-Talked about contested ball being the main focus.
-Said finals hadn't been discussed.

That was it for the interview I think. So nothing groundbreaking. They continued to talk after the interview about us for a bit. Jarrad Grant was mentioned, and one of them remarked he was too skinny, and always loses 1-on-1's, which I remember I thought were pretty stupid things to say. He wont ever get a lot bigger body/muscle wise, it's just how he is. He also wins 1-on-1's sometimes.

Higgins was also mentioned, and something else was said I didn't agree with, and that's about all I can remember.

how's his form been in the reserves?

His form has been pretty good. He's been in the best or thereabouts more often then not and his usage of the ball is still very good at a higher level then TAC Cup.

I went to high school with Pearce, he is a good guy and really really into his sports

 

[Some Idiot]

Was very impressive the last couple of games he played. Not sure what's keeping him out?

 

[scooter600x]

The club website lists him as 191cm. That can't possibly be right, he looks like a dwarf.

That's definitely not right. It's probably typo. Almost certain that should be 181

 

[Some Idiot]

Is he injured? he has vanished after a late withdrawl just after looking like securing a place in the 22.

Yep, hamstring. He'll be over it next week, but will probably play VFL.

I reckon that the club will have him play out the finals with Williamstown to see how he handles himself in important games.

 

[Dav1d]

I walked past him and Fletcher Roberts before the first North Melbourne game early this year and he is definately not 191 cms

 

[doggies ftw]

Shame he injured himself, the last game he played he took massive steps imo.

 

[Werewolf]

Hope to see Pearce get early games: Pearce poised and ready

 

[doggies ftw]

With Bob out it seems like Pearce is next in line, some good footy in the nab and I wouldnt be surprised if he was in the team round 1 now

 

[Dannnnnnnnnn]

Was named in NAB 1 and put up a respectable performance, displaying superb defensive capabilities and great positioning. Needs to work on the attacking side of his game as at times his decision making and disposal lets him down. Like what I've seen from the kid but still has a few things to work on. Looking forward to seeing him hopefully play again next week.

Pearcey went down to an MCL injury in the third quarter of Footscray's practice match against Richmond's VFL team. He required surgery and has been placed on the long-term injury list, replaced on the main list by Lin Jong.
