Scott Pendlebury (Silk)

if hawkins wins it... its just on reputation.

Pendles has to be the favourite, surely. He has played every game so far and unlike the rest of the field, bar a couple, he has been consistent every week.

[HAL]

I don't think I have seen it.

[Magpie_Dan]

Jared Oakley- Nicholls is a huuuuuuuuuge chance!

[The Prototype]

It would be almost the same with Gibbs, he has come with a lot of hype, and early on didn't deliver but seems to now. I would think if it was awarded on consistency then Pendles might be a bit ahead.

You could pick out any one of his posts, but I thought this was the best:

Okay Johnno I will do. If he makes it in 4 years time I will come here and personally say I was wrong.

Why wait another two years? I think apologies are due now

[Kingswood]

he had an ordinary game today and just didnt seem to give it all.

dont get me wrong he didnt have a bad game

but there were a few passages in particular where he seemed to casual - and dare i say it - overly cocky, but got caught out.

one example was in the 3rd i think, the ball spills and he strolls over to it very very slowly. it looked like someone is walking over to the ball when its his free kick. gave the hawk player a chance to come back and contest for the ball

a few other examples.

am i reading too much into it or is the hype around pendlebury affecting him??

and please dont accuse me of bashing players after the loss, i was delighted with today's game and very proud after today.

[Pa Marmo]

Yes....Yes you are right, he is way to cocky and overly confident. Lets hope he goes right back into his shell. Yes that will fix the problem of ONE BLOODY QUIET GAME.

[Kingswood]

relax mate - maybe i worded it wrong

obviously nothing wrong with being too confident but a few of his efforts didnt seem to put much in them

and when the other 17 blokes on the field are playin their guts out - well it kind of stands out

[Kingswood]

wow it may really be time for bed though

i just read my first post and that is some terrible english

[Magpie Since 1986]

Pendlebury gave 110% like he always does. What you are describing is just the way he plays, he is very smooth and appears to be going half pace, that is just how he is.

He had ONE off game and he still got 23 touches, just made a few mistakes. This is a 19-year-old kid in his second year of AFL. What exactly do you want from him, perfection every week?

[Kingswood]

i dont even think he had an off game

like i said his game wasnt bad, it was ordinary by his standards which was still better than most other players.

i wish i had footage of that one passage of play that particularly made me think about this

[Kingswood]

but to answer your question

What exactly do you want from him, perfection every week?

...yes that would be nice

[uey]

He made a few errors, ran hard but appeared a tiny bit jaded by his usual brilliant standard. Was far from our worst. Looked a little pale at 1/4 time, may be slightly crook. Pendles is an undisputed star.

[ad4eva]

it was a tight contest and Hawthorn put alot of pressure on all night long, he was bound to cough it up once or twice.

[loki04]

wtf is with all the pendles bashing he had a good game last night and he may have made a couple mistakes but he also put some beautiful passes into young ben reid and cloke he is in his 2nd year and is averaging over 20 disposals a game and has the class our midfield has lacked for a long long time bar bux.
