Go watch the game against Melbourne and the game against Adelaide at AAMI this year and come back and tell me how Pears played.... :rolleyes:

Don't say ohh he was playing injured as an excuse...

I bumped to remind people who have non stop been calling for his head of exactly how good this kid can be.
Don't worry, come round 10, 2013, I'll be bumping the other threads where people wanted a trade for him.
Or you could just gloat to yourself and leave the first page of the board free from crap....

Confidence. He's head****ed, doesn't trust his body. Too many stops & starts, too many injuries, playing hurt etc. He has still showed a few glimpses of form, mainly through Bendigo, so it's still in him, just not coming out.
He's in the same (mental) hole Myers was in 2-3 years ago.
What he needs most IMHO is just to get a good run at it. Give him 6-8 weeks at Bendigo, with no pressure on him, and we'd start to see the old Pears back IMHO.

Hopefully we don't have to wait that long. There are plenty of NAB cup matches to help him get his mojo back on the back of some confidence in his body.

The point is

He is capable of being a very good player but needs a decent run. In 2009 he had a great year on top of a full pre season, since then he's had some horrific contact injuries (yadda yadda you know the details). Hopefully, at only 22, he's got a few good injury free years ahead of him.

Wow

What is about irrelevant videos.

Showing a post of Pears in 2009 is hardly relevant, just like a post of Ben Jacobs from the SANFL to show that he can kick.
i could show you a video of Andrew Ukovic playing the game of his life against Carlton in 1999.. off half back, was in everything.. even got 3 brownlow votes if i remember right..

he didnt play another decent game in his entire career, but that video would make him look a world beater.

I remember that game, looked like a superstar.

But it is irrelevant.

Forget it, it's BF, no one can ever regain old form.

Why is a stupid comment.

When Sheedy plays Henneman before Richards something is wrong.

Richards was and still is a superior player to Henneman.
It's stupid because it has been debated in depth from either side. If you want that discussion explored, go back to where it was had. I'm sick of repeating myself.
