Player Watch Scott Pendlebury

[gouki88]

In his presser Fly was very “not gunna talk about the future” about Pendlebury.

Dunno why, but it gave me “No certainty to be at Collingwood next year” vibes.

I didn’t get that at all. Pretty consistent with how Fly always responds to those questions

 

[The Dawes]

First quarter today was sublime
The rest just very very good

I would think that's just giving Pendles the respect he deserves by allowing him to speak about his own future when he chooses to do so.

Timeless.

not me, gave me the “I don’t want to place an expiration date” vibes

 

[Tippy78]

It’ll be a fascinating last three weeks for Pendles on brownlow night. I reckon he might snag a few

 

[Carringbush2010]

The sharpest mind playing the game.

Surely has had a bit to do with the way Nick goes about it.

Think any premiership window we have closes the day he retires . He is just that good and important to so many wins.

Miles in front of Buckley now.

Naa he has anointed his successor and leaving the team in good hands

 

[Pistol Night]

I’ve heard a couple of commentators label it an “unfair advantage” having the GOAT out there as he’s essentially a playing coach. Legend

This, ladies and gentlemen, is why you don't retire a bloke after round 2.

Put 50% of his salary in the soft cap and free up some cash in the TPP!

 

[soreplums]

Provided the younger players around him continue to improve and win the contested ball, he can play to his strengths by scooping on a loose ball and getting a handball receive to create

our assistant coaches are underpaid enough as it is for the hours they put in

 

[Drought Break]

Having a great year. No signs of father time slowing him down at this stage.

Other clubs are already calling.
Not for him to play, but for him to do an apprenticeship with a view to becoming head coach.
StKilda might be one.

 

[Doc1763]

I reckon he'll play on next year. He's already said he will take a year off after he reties to do some travelling, then get into coaching. he's not going straight from one to the other.

 

[loki04]

Yeah he has been excellent last block of games, I take it back bring on Pendles 2025 contract.

 

[HeathySure]

lets not forget he played with broken ribs too. Tougher than people realise

 

[Doc1763]

you can't do what he did yesterday at 36 years of age, you just can't.

with due respect to Buckley, Daicos Snr, Thommo, the Coventry's & the Colliers, Pendles is clearly the greatest player to ever pull on a Collinwood jumper.

I can't wait for him to run out for the 400th time, it will be a great day.

Guarantee that I will cry when he runs out for his 400th (hope it is at MCG) and again the day he retires.

Even at the time it was a stupid thing to say. We were getting pumped, but Pendles has been good for 18-25 disposals almost every week.

Over our first month he averaged 21 touches a game in a team that was mostly struggling. Over the last month, he's averaged 26 disposals and kicked 3 goals in a team going well. He's definitely in better form recently, but to suggest he was "done" at the start of the year was pure engagement farming.

“Veterans” doesn’t work that way anymore. It’s a flat discount of about $100-150k from memory.
