Player Watch Scott Pendlebury

[Hong Kong Pie]

By all that's holy, that was an INCREDIBLE 2nd half of football from our #10.

He seemed to be everywhere he was needed, getting contested balls, spoils, tackles, a goal, a score involvement... everything we needed.

Willed himself to be THE MAN and helped drag his team over the line. What an effing LEGEND.

Once again, thank you, Pendles.

A second flag makes Pendles our GOAT now in my opinion.

 

[thebaldfacts]

A grave footy injustice has been rectified.

Pendles should never have been just a one time premiership player.

Now, dare l dream for him to be a 3 time premiership player next year????

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

That last quarter was monumental.

 

[Spiral_Out]

Before yesterday he would have gone down as the GOAT Pies player, now he's achieved a status that would make him almost impossible to catch.

The only possibility is Nick Daicos but he needs to add a lot more size in order to improve his tackling to do what Pendles has done for over a decade now and somehow avoid injuries to enable him to play until he's 35..........

I don't see that happening, we are witnessing something beyond legendary.

Pendles, Sidey, Howe and Mihocek a year older so we need to see some improvement.

McStay is one. Be nice if Cameron could go to the next level. Macrae possibly another. Draper needs to become the player he is capable of. Two of Johnson/Krueger/Dean/Carmichael required to be more than depth players.

Harrison, Allan, Ryan and Steene probably impact more in 2025.

 

[Mick F]

I was just saying in the Didaka thread - it was 29 degrees, it was the last quarter of the longest season ever and he’s pushing 36 years old - and he was the best player on ground in that quarter.

He will go down in history as our greatest player ever.

Hopefully he will find a sinecure in the mercantile world upon retiring. Embarrassing seeing fine players grovelling for $$$ as boundary riders etc.

1 flag - bogey
2 flags - par

Scott Pendlebury's Grand Final performance on Saturday was arguably the best of his career, writes Damian Barrett

Unfortunately he’ll probably be coaching some other team to a premiership.

Just gotta hope he goes to one of the less objectionable clubs. Or that he is content to be a long term assistant until Fly gets tired of winning flags with us.

 

[FromTheBoundaryLine]

The best I’ve ever seen. After leading us so admirably and with such class it was one of the most enjoyable aspects of the win just seeing Pendles as pretty much one of the boys and the sheer joy he was expressing after the win. Absolute legend.

 

[Mkcaptain]

I'm so pleased for Scott on so many levels. His immense personal contribution dragging us over the line. How much he has given our club over the 18 years, in particular the last decade. Then I also feel like this is so important for his future standing as a legend of the game.

I loved how much yesterday clearly meant to him.

 

[Bruz Maynard]

Agree that SP10 is our goat, definitely in the modern era at the very least. Have to remember that he hard carried the team in the mid 2010s when we were playing dire and mediocre footy. And he absolutely stood up and took a lot of the squad with him yesterday when he was needed in the 2nd half

Statue time

 

[Len Smith Medallist]

The next time Pendles and Sidey run out, it will be 60 years since a two-time Collingwood premiership player has run out for the Pies. Murray Weideman round 22, 7 September 1963.

Wonder if he likes Tasmania?

 

[jc37]

He should go down as our greatest player now and I think he is under rated a touch.

Sadly won't leave game as a premiership winning captain but is the equal of any leader to have played the game.

 

[WakeUpPies]

In terms of individual brilliance, Buckley’s peak is still the best of any player I’ve seen. But there’s no doubt Pendles success and longevity makes him our AFL GOAT now.

Plus Pendles can pull off dreads. What a sexy man.

[The Dawes]

A second flag makes Pendles our GOAT now in my opinion.

hard to judge against the likes of the Coventry/Collier brothers and others from that amazing era - but he's definitely the best I've seen which basically covers the last 45 years.

Premiership captain Pendles?

I'm certain there is more Premiership medals in store for Pendles. What seems incredulous is that he does not have a Brownlow around his neck!
