Well, Mr Smooth is about to reach the 150 game milestone.
What are your fondest memories of him?

Mine:
I knew we had a player when, lying on the ground, he took the ball out of the opposition players hand as he ran by.
( Sorry, I can't remember what game or who it was that he made look silly)
Plus I'm bloody useless on these stupid contraptions.
give me a screwdriver or ratchet any day.
if any one knows the incident can you please post it?

Pretty sure it was against Swans from memory
 
Was against Sydney at ANZ, he did it to Paul Williams, may even have led to a goal?

Robert Walls went crazy about it and showed a replay of it at the end of the game, to reinforce how good a player pendlebury would end up. Not often Walls is that spot on

Any chance you can find and post that incident please?
 
Yeah when he was lying on the ground and stripped Paul Williams, I knew we had a player. Said it then and will stick by it, he will win a Brownlow one day (started this year off very well)

Still can't believe he has notched up 150, feels like yesterday he donned the number 16 against the Lions...

I remember being at his first game against the Lions, which also happened to be Blake Caracella's last. Pendles kicked a goal with his first kick, and Nathan Buckley had 29 possessions and 6 goals.

I had a chance to talk to Scott about what it felt like when he ran on, and he said the weirdest sense of being in the best kid of panic ever. He also mentioned that according to him he kicked that goal on Voss, cause the player he rotated with was running with Voss, so in his mind it was 1 mark, 1 kick, and 1 goal v Voss within 3 minutes of football lol
 
Love the man, 3 time AA before the age of 25, many more to come you'd think. Sits nicely with his premiership medallion, Norm Smith, B&F & multiple ANZAC medals. One thing that you know validates his standing as a superstar is that all opposition supporters rate him highly. To be a Collingwood player and be held in that regard is a massive achievement in itself.

No one individual memory that stands out because he is so consistently brilliant.

His 100th game turned out pretty well, let's hope his 150th is similarly memorable!

Not sure I have a fondest memory but the first thing that comes to my mind is when he kicked a goal last Anzac game and absolute gives it to Stanton haha

Actually, no, fondest memory would be the dreads. Absolutely loved them!
 
The standout moment for me was his second goal in the first quarter of the prelim in 2010. Wowee did he blow the lid off the G (although it was Thomas' tackle that created the goal).

I've loved him as a player since that first match against the Lions... and he is still my favourite today.
 
My fondest memory was in his first season still in the number 15.

We were playing West Coast at the G. Pendles road the bump from Darren Glass (i think) and then went on and slotted the goal.

Thanks when I knew that we had a player on our hands.
 
The goal just before quarter time in the 2010 prelim he kicked a running goal to make us by memory about 5 goals up and iv'e never heard the crowd so loud before.
His been my favourite player since he came to the club, what a champion.
 
Loved the prelim goal on his right from 50. Also loved his game in 2012 against Geelong. He kicked a goal from outside 50 close to the boundary when our forwards just weren't getting it done. And the sealer followed by
<----- that celebration.

Too many great memories to raise.

In general it's the way time seems to stand still for him; his impeccable disposal and decision making; and his work ethic.

An absolute superstar and a fine leader. Here's hoping for another 150!!!
 
One of the best games I've seen him play was in a losing side; round 1 last year against the Hawks. He had about 33 possessions, 2 goals and just moved as though everyone else was wading in the surf. Hawks fans around me gave him a standing ovation.

We've been really lucky to have him play for us. Amazing how well we did in 2005, really.
 
Been a favourite of mine ever since he debuted, Rd 10 2006 at the 'G against Brisbane. The Blake Carracella game.

Surely he'd play another 150, maybe even break Tony Shaw's record :D
 
I remember David Schwartz all over him after watching him in the VFL. Kept saying how he was a superstar in the making and just needed some size. Seemed to bring him up every second night on SEN. Certainly had me excited before he debuted. Well done Ox!
