Yeah Davo, thats an unfortunate mix of circumstances. I hadn't seen it that light.
I don't think MJ has been playing that badly but he isn't the player he used to be. Unfortunately Pearce D is the player he is used to be so I can understand why he is going to Peel.
Matera I'm a bit in two minds about. I had high expectations but he's fallen well short so I'm not sure if my expectations were too high or his performances were too low. Much as I admire Ballantyne for his never say die efforts, I think we should have stuck with Matera rather than Ballantyne as Matera will be with us longer.
