Pearce also links up with Mikey better than anyone else in the team - they're good mates. If you are worried about Mikey's form bringing Danyellerin' back into the side may have additional benefits.
But those of you who think that rebuilding (or whatever term RoLy spins you) means putting a line through anyone over the age of 20, you're nuts. Winning form is grinning form, from the top of a footy club right through to the spread of supporters that follow the team. Bringing Pearce back into the side is a no brainer for me - again, let's see how he goes.
Go Freo (give those bloody painful gloating Tiggies the ol' heave-ho)!
