Player Watch Scott Pendlebury

I may cry when it actually happens

 

[Abdul_The_Bull]

We, as supporters, are truly blessed to have witnessed all of Buckley, Pendlbury and now Nick Daicos coming through. It's a tragedy that there are so few premierships between them all. Although, I feel there's one more in it for the latter two together...

He has reinvented his game majorly this season. His kick % (kicks as a % of his total disposals) is 33%. This is down 20% from the previous two seasons, and down significantly from his 50% career average. He is using his hands more than ever, and is doing so with effectiveness.

He seems to be opening up the play for others a lot more, getting the footy in the coalface and flicking it into space for Nick/Sidey/Crispy/Lipinski/etc., often doing so with some ridiculous over the head wizardry.

Sidebottom obviously deserves all the praise he's getting, as is he is in arguably career best form. But Embleberry is still bloody handy

The role he seems most suited to in the modern game is defensive midfielder / tagger. I thought he was sensational against Carlton in blunting Cripps. To me it was a split decision for BOG in that game between Schultz, Cameron and Pendles. Schultz won it deservingly, I loved his game.

I probably will

much improved on last year where he had a couple of great games but other times looked ancient (the late Hawthorn game , Geelong game , second Sydney game)

He was on fire from when JDG and Titch went down until he injured his bicep and then didn't look fit afterwards - that injury was the tipping point that ****ed our season. Not surprisingly, he can't play through injury like he used to.

I do miss his kicking onto the chests of our leading forwards though

You’re gunna be missing a hell of a lot more than that eventually. Just enjoy the fact his change of game style is working. He looked pretty busted up at times last year and was caught many times htb. Not sure he’s been pinged once this year because he’s reverted to the quick handball.

 

[gouki88]

Oh yeah, me too. He was always the absolute best at kicking it perfectly to Cox's advantage, where he could lead at the footy unimpeded and reach it above the defenders.

Most of his kicking seems to be when we're playing a slower kick-mark style, which suits me fine. He is still probably our best decision-maker by foot

 

[MagpieExcalibur]

the classic fake-out move is back , he looks the quickest i have seen him in years at the moment been really good at the moment
couple of turnovers with the kicks but thats why the Rolls Royce adapts and has started to become the handball king

 

[northcotehead]

I reckon his mere presence on the field helps us immensely. When we flood the corridor forcing teams to kick long to contests or to take risky options, there is Pendles directing our boys to assume space .

 

[MagpieExcalibur]

Pendles , Jamie , Steele and Howe are playing so much better than last year its comical

 

[Chameleon75]

Tempted to call him a champion, but I don’t want to go too early, might see how his next 100 games go before making that call.

big basketball background they say can play a variety of positions forward , inside mid , winger maybe half back the basketball they say helps with his spacial awareness

 

[MagpieExcalibur]

classic Derek Hine he loves a utility lol

well at the time he was 36 though of course a little injury was going to affect him considering his age

Once he gets to 500 games, we'll have a better idea of where we sit.

for most ANZAC Day games tomorrow with 18.

 

[MagpieExcalibur]

Rolls Royce hopefully gets goal 202 on the board tommorow

 

[PonsfordMagpie]

Scott Pendlebury will equal Dustin Fletcher for most ANZAC Day games tomorrow with 18.

Steele Sidebottom will also be third outright at 14 Anzac Day games.

 

[MooreTreloar]

Steele Sidebottom will also be third outright at 14 Anzac Day games.

Just think, if it wasn’t for Covid he’d go past Dustin Fletcher this year and potentially bring up 20 next year.

 

[MagpieExcalibur]

kicking is starting to fail him a bit but geez he had a huge say on the game today i loved when two guys about 15 years younger than him couldnt mow him down lol wish he kicked a goal though would have been the icing on a decent-pretty good Pendles game

 

[MagpieExcalibur]

still pretty bloody handy at age 37 found some good form

 

[Granit1962]

Has played well all year apart from opening round where everyone stank it up.
