Scott Pendlebury - Standing in the game?

[Corn Cobbers]

Better than Buckley or no?

I'm not a fan of Buckley, Pendles miles better, along with plenty of others

Must admire his commitment.

I’ve seen some bad ones. At a footy game I saw a guy with the same neck tats and haircut as Dusty. Was a weird unit too.

My pies relatives and work colleagues agree, they said the flags put him in front. I think so too.

Pendles played in better sides.

It's pretty hard to split them. They weren't/aren't the same type of player beyond their basic role as midfielders.

Footy IQ and team play puts him in front imo

Bucks spent the first 7-8 years of his career getting 27 kicks a game that went straight to the opposition, it was really horrible to watch and put me off going to the footy and I never really went back

Finals record too which is important, despite Buckley having a better H&A record.

Buckley played one final before his 30th birthday and 10 overall and 3 of them when he was 35.

In between he was an excellent finals player.

Buckley better - just. He averages a goal per game, for a midfielder that's really good. Score board pressure.

The expression "lower the eyes" was invented for Buckley

"You've got teammates Bucks" I used to yell in despair

When Malthouse got there, Bucks became decent at last but 1994-99 were wasted years

Prime Buckley in the 2007-2013 Collingwood side would've torn several finals series to shreds. Timing doesn't always work out. Like Ablett Senior playing one finals series in his 20s.

Tough, we can’t invent a finals record for him. It is what it is and I’ve heard from pies supporters Pendles is better and actually had success.

Very surprised to read Collingwood supporters rating Pendles on par (or narrowly behind Buckley). I would have had Buckley the superior player overall.
Buckley carried his teams on his back during an era when he was heavily targeted. Like Pendlebury, could also go down back and play as a pretty decent defender.

Pendlebury is one of the best of his generation. I would have him in the same category as Hodge, Selwood, Mitchell etc.

 

[BlueJet]

Very good player but a little behind the very best.
Playing for our most intense rivals, I've always admired him as a footballer but probably haven't feared him dominating the way I would some others.

Pendles has Bucks covered pretty easily (Bucks will agree with it too) but the Daicos snr did too.

And Johnny Greening was better than any of em.

Disagree

Bucks top 100 player all time
Pendles top 500 player all time
Daicos Sr played in an irrelevant era, would be lucky to get a game for the Coburg Lions

Love the way he goes about it
Great longevity in the game.
