Pendlebury to pip Selwood in 2024

I want it on record that he is not the greatest player I've seen. He isn't even the best Geelong player I've seen. (Ablett x2)

But, what a player he was. He has everything but a Brownlow, and he came close in one of the years Ablett won. He piped Pendlebury for the Rising Star award in 2007 and there's been a comparison between the two ever since. Personally, I think they are completely different types of players. Sadly, neither will win a Brownlow, and Pendles wont be winning another 3 flags, but does have a Norm Smith. Let's just hope Pendles can win another flag next year.

Strange to think that Pendles was drafted a year earlier and will play at least 1 season later.

Anyway, it's hard to knock a guy thats won 4 flags and played 350 games.

Going into coaching Collingwood to join his brother maybe

^ You need to make the effort, Presti35. I'll have a go:

Free kicks for/against -

Pendlebury 463/187 (1.29/0.52 per game)
Selwood 890/460 (2.51/1.30 per game)

So, Selwood was both given way too many cheap ones, compared to our incredibly fair, ball-playing captain and much less fair, giving away 2 and 1/2 times as many frees as Pendles.

Selwood has had fewer disposals, taken fewer marks, kicked fewer goals, given fewer goal assists and - as you rightly point out - won infinitely fewer Norm Smith Medals than Pendles.

Also, Pendlebury will finish up with more career Brownlow votes.

Isn’t Selwood brother at Collingwood Scott Selwood he is part of coaching

I’m glad he’s gone.
Good riddance!
