I would agree Pendlebury is below the absolute top level, Buddy, Ablett, Judd territory but he will probably still end up a legend.

I reckon it is a hard comparison with Dusty because Pendlebury has been a good player for twice as long as Dusty was, even if peak Dusty was better.

Yeah but 3 norm smiths makes Dusty a walk up start imo

Would you have Danger in before Pendlebury (bias aside)
 
Having some robust discussions on social media re: Will Pendlebury be an AFL hall of fame legend

My response;
No
Legends is an esteemed group

Buddy will, Dusty will, Danger probably will
Talking generational players here

Am I wrong and not giving enough credit? He is a great player and a Collingwood champion but a level beneath the players that I mentioned...
Peds: Great player but stats wise I don’t think he’s up there and when you factor in the lack of travelling for him and you can see how that could had extended his career….so that’s a No for me

Buddy: yes

Dusty: HOF I’m not 100% sure but wouldn’t discount it. The issue I have with him is that Danger’s career stats are much better and besides his 3 Norms and flags he really doesn’t have much else imo.

Danger: if he gets another flag I can see it his stats are up there with the best

If Dangerfield was the difference in the end (as he was in 2022) and dragged us to another premiership, I think he goes past Martin and would have a legitimate claim to being arguably the best player of his generation. Just below Ablett Jnr but certainly level heading with most of the others.

Big ask though. It's a very even season so a lot of teams can win it all.
 
Richmond game day threads are some of the best entertainment.
Wearing the wrong jumper apparently, only losing because the umps hate Richmond lol.
 
It is amazing how much more effort Rich put in compared to WCE

1 is a side going through a rebuild that knows it will take time but is trying
the other is a side that since covid is just broken
to be fair Richmond still has 7 150+ gamers and is older than Freo (and a lot older and more experienced than WCE)

Plus Geelong/Collingwood/Hawthorn fans are “obsessed” for commenting on the game.

As if a whole bunch of Tiger fans weren’t spamming Thursday’s game thread until the 25 minute mark of the second quarter.

My comment is more about mentality of the whole group/organization

Yes Rich still have plenty of experience but so does WCE but the difference in attitude from both groups on gameday is huge
 
Generally accepted Pickett off to Freo
Trac will be at Collingwood too I think

I'm not even talking main board.
Tigers board is popcorn entertainment.

How many coaches get moved on this year? :think:

Goodwin seems certain to go. Nicks will go if Crows miss finals. Probably Voss too if Blues miss finals. Maybe the succession plan for Hinkley gets pushed forward if Port continue to lose?

The only other ones that seem possible would be maybe Beveridge and Longmuir. I tend to think Longmuir will be safe though.
Hinkley would be putting the feelers out now wouldn't he?
I could see Blues and Melb going for him.

Makes you wonder why they are offering insane money to TDK who will not help them that much for what they are giving up for him in cap space
I think with the amount of big name recruits that they have missed over the years they are just getting desperate to land one and are willing to overpay for it.
