#10 Scott Pendlebury

[Jezza]

We already have a bye coming up, so it's good time to manage him.

[Presti35]

Please dont be injured Pendles! I really want him to play on Anzac Day.

He needs to play in 2 more to equal Fletcher in Anzac games played. Not that this is an important stat, but it'd be nice to take it. Pendles was unable to play on Anzac Day in the covid year, which has also stopped him from equalling Fletcher. It'd also be nice to see him win a 4th Anzac Medal.

Gee'z there's a lot coming up (and on the line). We've got Crisps run of games to pass Styens (25 more games). We've Got 10,000 touches coming up for Pendles (23 disposals away). We've got 400 games coming up for Pendles (12 Games away). And we've got the all-time games played in reach for Pendles too (44 games away).

Of course, I'd trade all that in for another flag. But I'd still love to be able to see these records broken by our guys.

Pendles rib fracture. ?

[What'sinaname]

Yep, broken rib. I expect he'll be out for 3 weeks, so back for the Carlton game. That's a good 30 days between games.

[Mr Miyagi]

What is it with Hawthorn. Ribbed Naicos of a brownlow, and Pendles possibly the games record. Nothing good ever comes us of playing that lot except for 4 points.

[warburton lad]

He is, perhaps, our most critical component in aiming for the ultimate again in 2024.
There should be no compromise in looking after his health.
If we are good enough, we can win against Port without Pendlebury.
If we are not, so be it- at least someone like Macrae, Sullivan, Bytel, Allan may be given a shot.

We need to get used to playing and winning games without Pendles. After all, some time in the next couple of years he will most likely hang up his boots.

[Jezza]

9,995 disposals.

5 disposals away from the 10,000 milestone.

[Pies4shaw]

And just 6 games from becoming the first player to play 250 senior games at the MCG. Notably, he and Sidebottom will on Anzac Day rank first and second for most games played there, all-time. Bartlett played 200 - and Steele drew level on 200 yesterday.

Do we think he has much more than about another 200 games in him?

9,995 disposals.

5 disposals away from the 10,000 milestone.

A loss next week is not acceptable!

[Presti35]

We already have a bye coming up, so it's good time to manage him.

Good time for the bye. And smart to sub him off early in the 4th against Port.

5 disposals to go. And if they are 5 kicks it'll be 5000 handballs, 5000 kicks.

[Presti35]

This will be his 17th Anzac match. Fletcher played 18. https://afltables.com/afl/teams/allteam ... sh.html#ps

Hopefully he can go on and play in next years game and at least equal that. (Fletcher has no Anzac medal tho).

We've got 11 more games to go before he hits 400. I cannot WAIT for that!

Collingwood champion (Pendles) speaks on future, post-career plans

Pendlebury revealed he's yet to make a call on his future, with "the right call" to be made later this year. "I haven't made my mind up," Pendlebury said. "I've always said I think if we're around the mark and chasing and I've still got a role that the coaches see that I can fulfil and I'm not holding any youngsters back, then I'll go on. But if I am and they feel like I'm slowing down or am holding people back, then it's a pretty easy discussion.
