Player Watch Scott Pendlebury

[MagpieExcalibur]

goal 203 in the book and yet ANOTHER brilliant game from the conductor game 416 against West Coast next

 

[Kappa]

Looks like a different player this year after more rests

Brilliant performance.

 

[Eric Shin]

Loving the goal cellies

 

[Piesinmyeyes]

Lando Calrission or Admiral Ackbar?
Either way supreme leader.
Such a joy.

 

[granniewolf]

Love, love, love Pendles, a true legend.

 

[stormskye]

Off him another 9 years like Pickett

 

[jimmy35]

Off him another 9 years like Pickett

And then we can reassess for the tail end of his career.

Absolute legend. Amazing

 

[rand corp]

GOAT, nuff said

 

[hellfire]

What more can you say about him. He is still a star.

 

[Sea fog]

He is showing some of his younger teammates up. Such a professional.

 

[Kes1984]

He’s just so good! Absolutely no reason he can’t or won’t be playing next season. Going to be the outright games record holder.

Until Crisp takes it
Then Nick takes it from Crispy!

 

[PiCkLeJuiCe]

He is showing some of his younger teammates up. Such a professional.

Younger opponents too. Taught Reid a lesson.

 

[PiCkLeJuiCe]

He’s just so good! Absolutely no reason he can’t or won’t be playing next season. Going to be the outright games record holder.

Then Nick takes it from Crispy!

And then West, unless he retires after game 105 after breaking Lockett's goal kicking record.

They should erect a statue outside Vic Park for him this year. He will be the only player honered with a statue and still playing

He might even get a statue at the G.

 

[Kes1984]

So what’s he got, 11 games for equal second? 12 outright?

We have 8 home and away games. Hopefully 3 finals.

If he plays every game (suspect he and Steele will be managed around the 5 day break into Hawthorn), he can get to equal second this season.

I want him to reach 450 games. Be the first. What a milestone that would be! 35 games off it. This season with finals and next season, he could get there.

500 is a better milestone

 

[South of the Yarra]

He will retire a 4-time Premiership player.

 

[Chrispiesssss]

22 disposals
8 contested possessions
7 clearances
5 Center clearances

Elite pensioner!!

And that was his quiet night.

 

[Harry O]

Will play in his 40’s like LeBron

On the flip side, his “getting run down from behind before disposing of the footy” numbers grew to 3 for his career.

At this stage it's not whether he plays in 2026, that's a given. 2027 though? Wouldn't write him off

 

[Magpie Since 1986]

I thought the question would be is he in the All-Australian team again? Aside from the GWS stinker and the following week where he started sub, he has basically been in our top 3 or 4 players every week.
