Name: Kristian Pearson

Why did you want to become involved with East Coast Eagles?
Great people and culture 

What is it like playing AFL in a state which traditionally follows NRL?
Grew up in Queensland and was used to it up there. It has come a long way in the last few years and is now more accepted. People are now interested in going to watch a game and talk to you about results etc. 

Do you think interest in AFL is growing in NSW?
With the success of the AFL as a national competition it is translating to NSW. Sydney Swans being successful has had a great impact on the game in NSW. 

What is your relationship like with your East Coast teammates?
Comical, I have some great mates at the club. 

Who is your fiercest rival in the NSWAFL competition?
Pennant Hills 

If you could recruit one AFL star to play with East Coast who would it be and why?
J.Brown, best player in the competition and love the way he plays his footy. 

If you could invite one AFL coach to dinner who would it be?
Michael Voss 

How successful have you been in recruiting locals to participate in AFL?
We have a great junior system that has produced some great local players. 

What are you expecting for season 2010?
