Pendlebury injured, cooked, as good as ever or just getting better?

[zacaxel1975]

I thought he was one of the Pies best. The reality is that the next generation of mids is coming through and the Pendles, Selwood, Boak, Mundy, Hanners, Murphy, etc are all being overtaken.

But they shouldn’t be overtaken as much as being freed up to provide the cream on top. Others should be doing the grunt work and racking up touches while the skilful older guys provide a bit of silk, leadership and polish.

‘Only you’. Thanks for the personality diagnosis Dr Freud, do you accept bulk-billing or cash up front for your advice?

Don't worry about him, he just hates Melbourne

Worst captain in the AFL just doesn't give a shit, keeps the role for the social standing.

Think he's checked out, put his faith in Nathan and had enough.

He's still your best player by a mile

Has the same amount of time as everybody else these days.

Sidebottom is our best.

I have seen you say this about 5 times now. Complete and utter rubbish. If you think his captaincy is rubbish you are clearly not watching the games. He is constantly going up to players and talking to them, He cannot help it if he has to play under than Fwit coach. As for his social media standing? he tweets 5 times a week and one of them is usually tweeting Game Day on the day we play. He appears on a podcast once a week. Our esteemed coach is much more of a media whore than he is

Absolute horse shit.

"Checked out", but was still our best player last night, with 26 disposals, 8 clearances, 9 tackles and 6 intercept possessions in just 79% gametime.

you forgot twice as many pressure acts than any other Pies player

 

[HumanMeatball]

Games getting to fast for him, game plan doesn’t help

That too.

His workrate and effort remains exemplary.

Based on what? Where do people come up with these ideas?

Because it is? Isn’t as damaging as he used to be with his disposal and he has less time then he used to

Except he's pretty much the same player he's always been offensively, with added defensive effort and workrate.

You're seeing something that's not there.

Interesting claim, although I’m interested to see the evidence that supports it which I’m sure you have

 

[SpongePie]

I actually have him second in that list. I think he's been that good.

I'd swap Swan into that list in place of Pendles, though that's me as a Pies supporter. Agree though, Pendles would be in that second list.

I always thought Pendles was better than Swan but I know most pies fans disagree with me so maybe I'm wrong.

His precision and footy IQ always seemed to be more damaging than Swan's explosiveness and erratic kicking.

Sheahan is and will always be a flog. Pendles is absolutely still A grade. Very very players have ever been able too set up play and bring others into the game the way he has for 10 years. Diesel and mitchell the only other 2 that come to mind straight away that see the way pendles does

 

[pieman123]

Wasnt he leading the brownlow last year at the half way ppint before missing 6 or so games at the back half of the year?

He’s one of the finest mids we’ll ever see, and his prime years have been wasted.

This. Got his premiership medal early in his career so maybe lost a bit of hunger but his prime years were wasted in a crap team led by a crap coach.

Don’t blame him if he has somewhat checked out and doesn’t give a sh!t, just like I have in watching the team.
