Re: Pears and Jetta
no argument here
with 5 certain ins next week these two will have to make way
Stanton likely to miss so the other 2 outs will be tough to pick

Re: Pears and Jetta
Hille will be one for certain...probably Jackson Merrett and Hardingham (hard done by, but the ins are auto with Fletch, Hurls, Ryder & Heppell)JockStraps wrote:no argument here

Re: Pears and Jetta
Jetta has always been inconsistent, flashing in and out of the game but contributing very little overall - so no surprise there.
But Pears I really can't work out. He showed really good signs early in his career but now is second to the contest, misjudges the flight of the ball, gives away silly free kicks and does silly little chip kicks sideways when he does get it.
Obviously, we missed Carlisle and Fletcher, but even Hooker and Hardingham looked much better than Pears.

Re: Pears and Jetta
It's got me f***** whatever happened to his talent and ability. I know he's had horrendous injuries, but he looks totally at sea. I remember feeling this bloke could be better than Hurley about 4 years ago!billyduckworth wrote: But Pears I really can't work out.

Re: Pears and Jetta
In the comeback game on ANZAC day, Pears was in great touch. He's not a shadow on that player ATM. Hardingham was good yesterday which is very good sign for our defense, it gives us flexibility to adjust to the smaller forward lines by changing him and Hooker.
Jetta out of our best 22 ATM, but he is working hard in the 2s, so hopefully he can add the consistency he needs to be part of the midfield rotation.

I feel sorry for them in a way. They come back into the team on the day that the rest of the team playing like f****** panicking mongoloids.Sismis wrote:In the comeback game on ANZAC day, Pears was in great touch.

Re: Pears and Jetta
I'm bewildered with Pears also.... can't understand what's happened to him, he was so very good in his early games, now he dominates at VFL and then loses his naanaa's in the AFL. we are damn lucky to have found Carlisle

Re: Pears and Jetta
Yep, agree. I gave up on Jetta late 2011 from memory, he's not up to it. I think we've all been willing to cut Pears a lot of slack due to his injury situation but he's now been fully fit for a few seasons and he's showing no signs of improvement at all. His situation is close to terminal in terms of being an AFL level player.

Re: Pears and Jetta
Ummmm... Pears and Jetta were probably the two biggest panicking mongoloids in red and black yesterday. The problem with Pears and Jetta is that their games yesterday were par for the course given how they've played over the last 2-3 years, regardless of how the team is going.Gimps wrote:I feel sorry for them in a way.

Re: Pears and Jetta
I think that Pears is an older style FB who hasn't quite adapted to the new rules and gamestyles brought in over the past couple of years -he gave away too many soft frees yeterday and when he tried to avoid giving the free, gave his opponent too much lattitude. I suspect that Scarlett would also struggle with these new interpretations.
After injury, Pears also seems appreciably slower than the game requires and his closing speed just aint there.
I want to believe - but Carsile has passed him by.

Re: Pears and Jetta
Pears seems lost out there. Showed how much we missed Fletch & Carlisle even against ordinary opposition.
As for Jetta he seemed scared to even go for the ball. Kommer is a much better option in the same type of role.

Re: Pears and Jetta
Yesterday was their opportunity to stake a claim to keep their spots in the senior team and both of them failed.
Pears is out of contract and I hope we offer him to the WA clubs and see what we can get for him. In saying that though we will be in need of a third tall defender once Fletch retires.

Re: Pears and Jetta
Pears had a tall order in trying to out do Cameron I thought. Cameron is very good and may continue to be an excellent tall forward. When they were hot in the first half their excellent F50 delivery had Pears at a huge disadvantage, one only a taller player may have overcome. Cameron was marking them at the highest point so a taller opponent really was necessary.
Just now, Pears is a defender for the 3rd forward, as Hooker is a defender for the 2nd.

Re: Pears and Jetta
That's true and Cameron was playing some good footy yesterday. It's a real shame about Pears as we all know he could be a much better player than what he is at the moment. He's just not big enough to go with the power forwards and not mobile enough to go with the rest. For instance if Pears was playing against us and on our 3rd tall forward that would most likely be Crameri. Crameri would rip him a new asshole.F111 wrote:Pears had a tall order in trying to out do Cameron I thought. Cameron is very good and may continue to be an excellent tall forward.

Re: Pears and Jetta
I agree with this, but Pears looked completely lost this week. Shame he's dropped so far, lucky we've found Carlisle.F111 wrote:Pears had a tall order in trying to out do Cameron I thought. Cameron is very good and may continue to be an excellent tall forward.

Re: Pears and Jetta
Great story on Tayte Pears in this weeks edition of The Hanger
I think we may b judging this guy too harshly when you see what he has been through injury wise. He could be a real dark horse for us once he gets his confidence back
