Laurie, mate, the board are saying you got to play him. The sponsors....

I actually met the actor who played him several years ago watching a Collingwood final in Sydney. John Howard (the actor). He was wearing a Collingwood scarf and I went up and said hello to Geoff Hayward. He has a laugh and I asked him about the Pies allegiance, and he said “Have followed them ever since the movie”. It was a nice warm chat

Hayward's been up his mum and sister, not the sort we want at FF....more a backman...so to speak

The only reason he might not get the 3 Brownlow votes is because Collingwood were well-beaten. You need to distinguish between Neale looking good because he's surrounded by talent and Pendlebury having to do everything the hard way, on his own.
Neale thrashed him...simple.
Pendles did ok when the game was over just when the lions put the cue in the rack.
Pendles is not the player he was.
He made 3 critical mistakes in a 5 minute period in the second quarter.
Whether he got 30 disposals does not matter to me.
It is impact and he had the best of our midfield but he was far from Neale.
He had 26 disposals and 10 clearances at 3/4 time, when Collingwood was within 2 kicks.
I see that even the umpires had the sense to give Pendlebury 2 Brownlow votes.
