Never change, Big Footy.

Richmond supporters have an embarrassing obsession with one comment Pendlebury made in 2015 that was arguably unnecessary albeit true. Three years on and they still pedal on with the ‘sook’ tag.

What comment was that?

 

[adammania9]

What comment was that?

When the Tiges beat us in 2015 the second time after the Pies’ season was already done and dusted, Pendles said in the press conference something along the lines of the game being “meaningless”. Three years on and they continue to sook (ironically) that he is a sook.

Mason Cox

Why?

 

[AFDogs]

Why?

I'm not the original poster, but I like his American arrogance. Every professional athlete acts the way he does over there - over the top and brash, he shouldn't have to tone it down because we're a different culture.

 

[Restricted Free Agent]

Why?

His prelim final was to die for.

 

[boltsbabyblues]

How can you go past the big Bud.

That feeling of being completely dumbfounded about the sheer audacity - let alone execution - of some of the things he does is pretty special.

I'd argue that Fev was better, and far more exciting. But didnt get the same pump up from old brucey lol

 

[Carson Dial]

Cox outstanding all round by the sound of it

I hate that - the arrogance, the over the top celebrations. I find American football and basketball hard to watch for those reasons. Look at how Dunstall reacts after kicking his 1000th goal. This is how it should be done in Australian rules football.

 

[swoopingseason]

You gotta love some of these characters still in footy .
Max Gawn would definitely be one of those blokes who seems super on and off the field .

Tex Walker , I wish he can get back to his amazing form he was showing a couple of years back .

Gotta love a good news story and hopefully Dan Menzel will be one of them., absolutely baffled as to why the cats delisted him . I think he will have them regretting that decision

Yeah, well that's America. The showbiz ethos permeates absolutely every aspect of society there.

Cox' on-field persona is part of the entertainment package, he doesn't come across as an arrogant person generally.

I've never got that sense from him. He gets noticed because he's a really big bloke, but seems level headed when I have seen him speak.

 

[frankstone]

Tough as nails but unfortunately, as durable as a water cracker. He's still only 34, could theoretically still be playing.

He is still 32! What could of been! I played school footy against him, one day as a 12yo he pretty much broke his nose early on and played out the game , always tough as nails.

 

[kiwiswan]

Davis - GWS.
Roughead - Hawks.
Gawn - Melb.

Respect to me is a player that plays hard but fair. Willing to give clever niggle and doesn't cross the line. Able to accept defeat when beaten by a better player/team.

 

[greatgatsby]

Lenny Hayes
Phil Davis
Scott Pendlebury
Max Gawn
Justin Westhoff
Rory Sloan

 

[Couch Coach]

Ward (GWS), Jones (Mel), Sloane (Ade), Simpson (Car), etc. no nonsence get the job done week in week out type of people who also don't have negative off field media reports.

 

[Moist Biscuit]

It's 100% true, been confirmed by his old man aswell. In fact when he first got down to Melbourne they had to sit him down and tell him to relax in training because he was injuring blokes in competitive drills.

Pound for pound he is on par with any tough bloke to ever play the game.

Watched him as a year 10 student make a year 12 ruckman for the opposition absolutely s**t himself. He's got some sort of MMA or Boxing background if i'm not mistaken.
