I guess if Pendlebury breaks Boomer's games record then at least he might as well do it in royal blue and white.

He had this to say back when we signed Clarko, so maybe he could be tempted

Scott Pendlebury On Alastair Clarkson Turning North Melbourne Into A Destination Club

I'd rather Boomer back. Even now.

Can you imagine the top two spots both being occupied by North Melbourne legends?

Is it a bit strange that the club would release that particular bit of vision to the media?

What was he saying there?

 

[Cool Kangas]

Sorry, so Clarko’s effectively saying good training = good performance game day….um so therefore he’s saying training standards aren’t great? Confused. Why not fix that then?

I'm a little confused by that clip too - let's see it in full context before we jump to conclusions.

TBH.. those two players sidebottom and Pendlebury are absolutely cooked. They cant keep playing

Give me a cooked Pendlebury in the back half instead of Luke McDonald everyday of the week please.

I dunno man, he’s pretty heckin cooked. He should have retired at the end of last season. Mcdonald is s**t, yeh, no doubt but pendles is done.

Assistant coach yes, not a player.

 

[Topparoo]

Assistant coach yes, not a player.

He's not the player he was as recently as the Grand Final but I would play him in a heartbeat, the onfield leadership he'd give to LDU, George etc would be invaluable.

 

[Midas]

Phark me, if Pendlebury came to our club he could command a position for the next two years easily.

Would be the greatest coup we could have in any playing capacity for the next two years.

Can’t see it happening but wouldn’t it be amazing for our young blokes to look in awe at a Leader for a change.

 

[TheKanga]

What was he saying there?

Kinda seemed out of context but not really say anything at all of substance.

Have to wait for the full Q&A I guess.

 

[Uncle_Leo]

I’ve mentioned it before but no team now wants to lose against North.

Every team brings their season high 200+ pressure when playing against us.

There won’t be an easy or lucky win. We’ll need to fight for it.

I’ll only allow it if he is sacked by the club on 431 games.

It’s tradition

 

[Marstermind]

So wait. Is he saying the training standards ARE bad and that's why we're on the bottom, or is he saying that the training isn't bad and rejects the criticisms, or is he saying something else? I don't get it.

 

[FootySmartSimpson]

The bit I disagree with was the suggestion to trade out the priority pick to bring in the senior pro.

Daniel Cross was a DFA, Hodge was basically pick 75, Jordan Lewis was a swap of picks in the 3rd and 4th rounds.

Whoever it is doesn't have to cost much.

It’s a convenient way to provide an additional top up to a middling team. What team wouldn’t want to give up a 27 year old for a number 1 pick instead of to FA?

The fact that that line was rolled out after St Kilda pleads that they are lacking in top ten picks (never mind about their NGA jackpots).

Good initiative

This is so important. It’s just devastating what’s happening to women. I don’t even know how to put it into words. I hope this encourages even one person to actively call out and challenge any behavior or actions that perpetuate violence towards women and hold these men accountable. It’s beyond sad. I don’t even have the words. By speaking up and calling it out it might just help save a life or help break a cycle. It’s just devastating what is happening.

 

[danj]

WoMan we are so there already as a club, the rest are playing catch up

 

[tazaa]

I don't want to hear from any of them, words mean nothing.

I just want to see 100% effort against the Saints.

Only one of those things can genuinely happen.

It’s truly heartbreaking. These (all) women deserve better. Why the hell does this keep happening?

Good on the clubs for taking a stand and hopefully the platform can help start something.

 

[FootySmartSimpson]

It will be interesting to see how any club picking up Thomas will spin their (rightful) involvement with this.
