Subbed out with sore heel
Pearce was subbed out of Sunday's 107-49 loss to St. Kilda at Blundstone Arena with a sore heel, FremantleFC.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Head coach Justin Longmuir noted after the match that rather than risk further damage to the injured heel, which first revealed itself earlier in the week, Fremantle's coaching staff elected to pull Pearce at a point in the final quarter where it was clear the game was out of hand. The Dockers defender finished the game having contributed 12 disposals, three marks and a pair of tackles and clearances each.
