Pearce now, but that's mainly because of Kerr's demise over the last couple of seasons. Kerr is amongst my favourite non port players, but after discussion with some eagles supporters on their board, some feel as though he may not be able to return to his best.
Kerr's best from around the mid-part of the 00's was amonst some of most damaging football by a midfielder this decade. Kerr not only had the outside game like Pearce does, but a far better inside game (though Pearce has improved with this over the last season or two).
No slight on Pearce though who has improved with copping the tag over the last couple seasons, but has struggled for support because of our squad.
So, Pearce now, at his best Kerr, and career-wise Kerr.
