And I think your searching for a hook to hang your skepticism on.Maybe not holding the club to ransom, that was probably a bit strong and yes he owes us nothing.
But if any offer did come what do you think he will do with it, I'm sure it would used to get either another 'playing' year from us or a few more dollars.
He knows the offers to coach will come when he retires anyway, without coaching added to his next playing deal.
I just think its a strange comment from him and journos are already making a story from it, which I don't think is a good look for either Pendles or the club.
I get the feeling they've delayed talks til they get the new coach in and say to Pendles it's a packet of chips to stay because we need to rebuild, and if you want more then exercise your FA right.
He'd be perfect off half back with kicking. Hodge style.
I think Peter Moore should pick up the phone and have a chat to Pendles. From memory, Peter was the last captain to jump ship. He was booed for years by Collingwood fans and some with long memories right here in BF have never forgiven him. Moore says it's his greatest regret. No doubt he has instilled this into Darcy.
I can't see myself ever slagging off Pendles, but I'll be beyond disappointed if he leaves.
It was a shame really that Pendles was captain at the same time that Buckley took over the reigns.Very different circumstances. Moore was 25 when he left Collingwood. Pendles is 33 and won’t be going off to win a Brownlow with anybody.
Pendles is in his twilight years. Wouldn’t begrudge him at all to organise himself for the next phase of his career.
His mentorship may be very valuable for our young list. Or it may be an impediment to a new leadership group who are striving to take the team into the future.
Whatever will be will be, I won’t be disappointed with whatever happens. Pendles himself is a cold hard rationalist.
Doesn't need to be.. it's like C.Daniel.. A good defence allows him to be more then not be on noone.But minus Hodges toughness and courageous acts.
Pendles is silk but he's never been physical type.
He's not good enough in the air to play as a part of a defensive Web.He'd be perfect off half back with kicking. Hodge style.

I don't think a lifelong club champion is going to check-out simply due to the fact we finished 17th.Could it be finishing 17th?
Calling someone a cold hard rationalist when it comes to their approach to their footy career is a polite way of saying a self centred , passionless individual.Very different circumstances. Moore was 25 when he left Collingwood. Pendles is 33 and won’t be going off to win a Brownlow with anybody.

ExactlyPendles is absolutely one that we need to keep until the end of his playing days, his stewardship will be critical to the younger players coming through. Imagine how much the likes of Macrae and Bianco can learn…
I think with where our list is at, keeping Pendles on the playing roster for the next 2 years is pretty fundamental to the rejuvenation of our list. Pay him some money as part of the soft cap to coach the mid's during the week. Want Daicos x2; Bianco, Reef, McCrae et al to be glued to Pendles during the off season to learn what it takes to prepare and play AFL at a consistent A grade level.
Sending him to another club makes no sense
Time for sidey to move on, football has gone past him and he's become a hinderance.It’s very likely he’ll stay, and the young guys will benefit from his experience, professionalism and ability on-field.
Sidebottom will very likely stay too, but I think we should see what we could get for him in terms of points and cap relief.

We have too many of this type at our club.
I still don't understand why Pendlebury needs to get a coaching gig while still playing. Why can't he finish his playing career before seeking a coaching position?
Hodge and Mitchell were sacked. They both wanted to stay at Hawthorn before making the best of a situation forced upon them by Clarkson. Very different scenario.Strongly disagree with that. IMO where somebody sits on the passionate - rationalist scale has nothing to do with how self centred they are.
Do you want your gameday strategists moving the chess pieces around on the chess board in a passionate way or a rational way? If they’re being rational about it, does that mean that they’re also being self centred?
Of course rational people could be self centred, but so could passionate people.
I’m sure all footy clubs would be filled to the brim with folks that project as self centred alpha types. Surely that goes with the territory?
It’s being peddled by Jay Clarke (Possibly being put up to it by Pendles’ manager, who knows?). Sam Mitchell and Luke Hodge set the precedent. Not unreasonable that to have a well rounded prep for coaching it’d be helpful to have been a part of the inner workings of different clubs?

Where can I find this interview?I seriously doubt Pendles leaves but his vocal and lengthy interview shows to me how dissatisfied he and the playing group at large are with the club's broader vision and strategy (we seem to have none).
It's a genuine disgrace the board is doing literally nothing.
Isn't he taking up a position as Mark Latham's secretary?
