Updates made after a rollercoaster draw against Freo. Not much to report except Pendles has moved into 12th and now chasing the great Nathan Buckley and just six kicks this week will see him move into 11th

Does that mean he will play game 400 against the brown baggers?
Don’t know for certain, but he certainly got upset with Fyfe holding his arm at a clearance at one stage.How do you get a bicep tear? Didn't think it was a heavily used muscle in footy.

My plan is to capture all those miscellaneous records as a final tribute once the GOAT eventually retires.Not sure if another has mentioned this on this thread but Pendles has the most 600 possession plus seasons in history (8)
Likely also holds the record for most 500 plus possession seasons (13)… but that needs to be checked
Scott west and Sam Mitchell was the next closest i saw with 11 x 500 plus possessions in a season
He doesn't have a basketball background.Most games by someone with a basketball background
Off the back of this tweet:
just thought I'd pop in this table of how Pendles compares to every team.

Wow, so if they play all remaining games, they would be on track to break the record in the GF!Next game Steele and Pendles play together will be #299
So two more to a joint 300th! That's huge - to get to 300 games alone is huge, but to do it with a team mate, incredible!
So assuming neither miss the next two games, game 300 as together will be against Hawthorn.
This should be his last year.While I don't obviously blame the loss tonight on our aging champ in Pendlebury I'm not sure I've ever finished a game thinking he was a liability out there either.
He looked painfully slow whenever the opposition or ball was in a little space and while leg speed has never been a strength he just didn't look like he had the ability to pressure the opposition or win the ball back if he didn't win or receive it initially.
I'm not sure how many centre bounces he attended in comparison to others but we lost centre clearances 6-16.
Perhaps he simply shouldn't be out there with his bicep injury but at age 36 I think that's only adding to the hurdles he's now having to overcome.
Not writing him off at this stage. He’s clearly not overcome that bicep injury.
300 games with Steele next week and then 400 games week after
