News Pears set to return via VFL

Tah. This means we'll have 2 byes in 6 weeks. Is that unusual?

vfl clubs have four byes per season.

Think you may be a round early. Given the time missed i think he would need 2 full games.

Probably right but he was impressive

Woah Pears!

The fact that he got through the game and played very well gave me a smile on the weekend. Thanks for the report guys.

Agree. I also think match committee wouldn't want to send him to Perth. I'm guessing that he won't play full game this week either. Maybe closer to 75%. If he pulls up from that well he'll get 100% the following week. He might even be held up one more week after that.

What matters is that he is fully fit to have a big preseason this year. If we can get him and Gumby back to fitness and firing as well as Demps and Winderlich we will be in a good position to really challenge next year after the improvement of this year.

For the remainder of this year it might take a while for Pears to work into our game plan and be part of a cohesive backline that isn't strictly one on one.

Everyone who saw the game agrees, he was very good when he was on.

Also: "Captain Jobe Watson and Michael Hurley will face fitness tests before Friday night’s Call to Arms clash against Melbourne at the MCG."

Good news!!

Hurls said last night he probably won't be playing. Which I assume means he definitely won't be playing.
