In full flight and injury free I would take Pears. Hooker just makes me nervous when he has ball in hand and is quite slow off the mark when chasing a lead.

Having said all that I still think Pears isn't quite big enough to be the solid rock we need down there but would still take him before Hooker

I noticed that a lot of opposition supporters would laugh at us about how highly we rated Pears early on. Obviously he had his stand out games, the one of Fevola probably being his best but I can't really remember his bad games pre injuries.

Were the opposition supporters right and we were too blind to see that maybe Pears isn't that good of a footballer?

I voted for Pears in the poll for what it's worth.
 
pears if he ever gets his body right. hooker gets beaten 1 on 1 to often, out muscled, out smarted & is slow off the mark. runs like a *******.

hooker might be worth something as trade bait?

no that was darcy. i do remember a section of essendon fans claiming he was in aa form (at say r10) and then a section of fans of other clubs claiming he was leading the reverse coleman and me being confused as to who to believe because at the time i was only getting to see about 1/3 of our games.

Don't laugh - Fairly certain that Pears won the reverse Coleman.
 
Carlisle is better than Hooker and will improve. I think Pears offers a something different so for me its Hooker vs Carlisle and Carlisle wins!

Actually agree with this; think Carlisle and Hooker are far more apt comparisons. Similar size, similar strengths, similar deficiencies in counterattack. Carlisle much better.

Do your two key defenders have to be different ?

Couple of examples

Geelong; Taylor/Lonergan
Adelaide; Rutten/Talia
 
No they don't, but it's a more adequate comparison. Try Geelong Taylor (Carlisle) Lonergan (Hooker) Scarlett (Pears).
