Player Watch Scott Pendlebury

[Black_White]

He can’t stab pass and hit a teammate on the chest from 60m away, but this man has so many amazing attributes so as a whole, I have to say he’s officially passed Bucks now as the greatest Collingwood player in my lifetime.

His leadership and onfield coaching far exceed that of Buckley.

The incredible composure he possesses where time seems to stand still when he gets the ball is something to witness. Like a glitch in the matrix.

It’s been amazing to watch his career. I can’t wait to see him hit 400 games.

His little apprentice may surpass him some day.

Went past Bux a long time ago.

Not sure about that. Buckley’s best was better than Pendlebury’s.

That’s a team achievement. Bucks played a chunk of his career in the Tony Shaw era. I don’t hold that against him.

Could have had two himself in 02 and 03. Could have had one as a coach in 2018.

Not sure about that. Buckley’s best was better than Pendlebury’s.

He was far more skilled. But I think Pendles has a bit more in his repotoire which extends to his leadership and onfield coaching. Bucks didn’t get the best out of those around him. Pendles does.

Most of Buckley’s career was when the team only had a handful of good players. The rest were hard workers. Have a look at the 2002 Grand Final team. I don’t disagree with you about Pendlebury bringing the team together better than Buckley, but Buckley led by example. Both extremely fit and well disciplined footballers.
Pendlebury had the luxury of playing with Dane Swan for a large portion of his career, then after that De Goey emerged.

Can we just honour the man whose thread it is and not turn it into another pissing contest about Bucks.

 

[Magnanimous]

Absolute garbage. He was very good in the last quarter , yeah he got caught once.. that happens. Probably our 2nd best player today.
Of course he is closer to the end.. he is 36 years old lol

Also his onfield captaincy is worth 3 goals. Worth its weight in gold and we dont win the grand final without that last year

He is the best Collingwood player in my lifetime.

He is nearly the best Magpie in anyone's lifetime.

[Fat Jesus]

Can't seperate Buckley and Pendles. Both absolute stars.

 

[KrispyKremePie]

Agreed. I don't ever read 'game day' threads.

Considering giving 'after game' threads a miss too after reading some of the absolute garbage on here tonight.

I like to read them for the overreactions! Makes me feel a little better about myself knowing that there are crazier people out there…

 

[KrispyKremePie]

Thanks for my new phone wallpaper!

 

[Mollythedolly]

Remarkable human, was probably our best player yesterday, which is just not supposed to be possible at 36 years of age. Now let's get him to 400 games. Few would argue he is Collingwood's greatest-ever player and certainly in the discussion as one of the competition's greatest ever.

And playing through broken ribs.

 

[Ugene41]

Still got it! Just slowly working into the season to peak by finals

 

[HeathySure]

2nd best on ground, just amazing this bloke. Imagine people wanting him to retire

 

[Tippy78]

Great game from Pendles.

He’s been the most consistent of the over 30s this year and stepped it up to a top 5 performance on the ground today I thought.

 

[Chrispiesssss]

Ice cold!!

 

[CasuallyDressed]

I don't think I'll ever be ready for him to retire.

 

[manicpie]

I hope he goes around again next year. Can still step up when required and we are more likely to win flags with him at the club

His vision was outstanding

It's going to be a sad day. Just seems like he's always been there.

Apparently it's something to do with basketball

 

[jimmy35]

He’ll still be playing when his kids debut. Like most opponents Father Time can’t catch up with him either.

What he got bitten by a radioactive one and it gave him superpowers? Cool

 

[Soups]

I don't think I'll ever be ready for him to retire.

As far as I am aware he’s going to play forever.
