Draft History: Selection 5 overall 2005​

After an exciting debut in 2006 where he played 9 games and kicked 4 goals after suffering a bout of glandular fever early in the pre-season, Pendlebury hit the scene hard in 2007 playing through the midfield and on the half forward flank.​

Pendlebury averaged 18.9 disposals during his second season at the level including 10.4 kicks per game, 8.6 handballs, 5.4 marks and 3.3 tackles. He also managed 0.9 goals per game proving that he is a goal kicking midfielder.​

He was able to gather 20+ possessions on 14 occassion throughout the 2007 season the highest of which coming against West Coast in the semi final where he gathered 26 possessions and also kicked the sealer.​

Pendlebury finished second behind Joel Selwood in the 2007 NAB Rising Star Trophy and also finsihed runner-up in Collingwood's best & fairest, the Copeland Trophy.​

Pendlebury will push into 2008 looking for further improvement with another solid pre-season behind him with a little extra bulk and better fitness levels.​

Scott Pendlebury has already proven that he is the future of the Collingwood Football Club, but what else lies ahead for the silky midfielder. Maybe greateness.​

Hello there Didaka, very fetching logo.
I saw Scott Pendlebury at Greensborough Plaza this afternoon. He was shopping with his mum.
I thought he had black hair, but it was brown.

Scott Pendlebury = My favourite player and in my mind he is Collingwoods version of Jesus.

Hi Didaka, just practising my uploads, so thought I'd share this shot of Pendles with you. I took it at training in September. Hope it works.

Thought you could. It's an accidentally good character shot. He looks great in it, especially his hair. What do you think MagpieGirl?

[Snag Breac]

I would say pensive, and perhaps quietly intense.

It's the husband's Canon Eos something or other. I "borrowed" it. He'd have a fit if he knew I dragged it all the way to the MCG. Someone apparently bent the pins in the part where you put in the card. Luckliy he managed to fix it.

Will try hard to get there on Friday. There's also an open day on sat 15th advertised on the C'wood website.

Yes...

 

[Optimax]

Yes...

Yeah scotty does, seems to know alot about football too, or at least knows what to say at the right time lol

 

[thatday]

Small thing written about him in todays Herald Sun, mainly talking about what he wants for next year and how he thinks he can improve. It was on a double page spread in sport with the future stars of 2008.

Happy Birthday for yesterday Scotty.

Waiting for some news on Pendles....

Scott lives in Williamstown (and so did I until recently). I would frequently see him at the supermarket, and sometimes with his girlfriend.

My son would always say...."dad look, it's your favourite player"...loud enough so Scott would hear and I'd feel like a right tool.

On one occassion, I grabbed a texta off the shelf, and in the bottom of the pusher was a little pink sherrin (it is my daughters'). I said "Scott could you sign this for my daughter". Then realised that she wasn't with me...just my son, so said, "for me actually"....and felt sooo stupid!

Anyway, seems like a nice kid. I think he could really be the future of the club (more so than Thomas), and I like his odds for the Brownlow this year ($201)...could be a smokey!

 

[didaka]

Someone's been spreading rumors about my magpies buddy.

Why I oughta

There's one consolation, didaka; you know your player poses a gold-class threat to the opposition when they start trolling shite like this about him. Take it as a compliment; and just lay a curse on the twisted little head of whoever was responsible.

A lovely human story. Scott should be thrilled to have such a tribute paid him.

Round 1 v Fremantle

15 Disposals
9 Kicks
6 Handballs
2 Tackles
3 Clearances

Started off pretty slowly today, and we didn't see much of him until late in the first quarter, and was still struggling to get in the game making a few errors here and there.

Began to improve mid way through the game and showed his class when he had to ball although we would have liked him to have the pill more often.

When push came to shove and the game was on the line he got his hand on it a few handy times and used it well with the quick hands out to running and free players which help set up plenty of play over the ground.

On todays form I would rank him 6 / 10
