Can’t see him finishing up this year. Still in great form and body seems ok

Will likely be within a handful of games of the record. Don’t see why he would finish up
would only be a very very small chance of finishing up with a premiership hope he goes on he's had a super year so far
 
before my self proclaimed 2 week exile no doubt relieving some i leave you with this

Have a nice break, we - I mean you deserve it.

The club might opt to continue with only 2 out Howe, Steele, & Pendles.

I wouldn't rush that decision. Arguably, Howe and Steele are even more important than the great man.

I don't think it's even arguable.
 

This demonstrates why he can keep playing if fit. Doesn't rely on speed, his footy brain and baulking makes time slow down, makes Kosi look like a goose.

Sure, there's been a few balls below the knees I've seen him struggle to bend down for and fumble this season and last. But his style and cool head holds up in the fire of finals.

I've said it before, but it's worth repeating.... what Pendles offers on-field go far beyond his actual stats. Yes, he adds value here - he'd still be welcome at other clubs, even now - but it's his on-field coaching, strategic vision and mentoring that adds the real value. The fact that he can still sell candy like he did against the Demons is just cream!!
 
Hopefully does the team thing and accepts peanuts. He's already rich.

I think beyond his salary which part of it wouldn’t be in the cap anyway as a veteran, what I hope we’re discussing with him and even out contractually is that if he’s not up to it he can retire mid season, get a farewell game and stop getting his salary there and then vs rest of year.

This is what gets missed sometimes regarding Pendles. No one in the game knows their body better so he would be the first one to say he can’t perform if it comes to it. So far he’s been right. And unlike Titch I see no universe where Pendles goes back to VFL to find form.

I hope he gets a farewell game post breaking the record. That would absolutely rock the G. But in the meantime, he’s got business to do this season.

his farewell game will be the 2026 Grand Final
