Yes after the Sidey goal at the centre bounce he was organising all the boys, and you could clearly see him saying “5 minutes to go” and keeping them on track to manage things to the plan. _________________ "The night is a very dark time for me" Chaz Michael Michaels |

GOAT.
Now a 2x Premiership player. Last time we could say that about anyone was back in the 1950s. _________________ | 1902 | 1903 | 1910 | 1917 | 1919 | 1927 | 1928 | 1929 | 1930 | 1935 | 1936 | 1953 | 1958 | 1990 | 2010 | 2023 | |

Pendles "the general " is so important in organizing the troops,
...and deciding when to take risks and when to kill the game.
We are so blessed to be witness to one of the greatest players the game has seen.
I expect Pendles to continue in 2024 and help us snaggle the 17th premiership. _________________ Jamie Elliott...you beauty

Absolutely!!! I could hardly believe the way he was running on top of the ground in the last quarter, when so many younger players were fatiguing. Not only is his stamina incredible, but he still had all those formidable wits about him to organize the play. He's a complete marvel and it's so wonderful to see him looking so happy today. |

Barrett:
Pivotal moment shows why Pies giant is one in a million
https://www.afl.com.au/news/1047728/barrett-pivotal-moment-shows-why-collingwood-magpies-icon-scott-pendelbury-is-one-in-a-million
'There is evidence the playing-coach gene has been cloned, and it comes in the form of Scott Pendlebury.
Pendlebury, in game No.383, was among the very best players for Collingwood in its 2023 Grand Final four-point win against Brisbane at the MCG on Saturday. He usually is in a Magpies win. But as has become normal in the past two seasons, his 17th and 18th of one of the grandest careers ever compiled, Pendlebury's effect on the outcome came more from his unofficial role as on-field coach.
...
Pendlebury deservedly earned official Norm Smith Medal votes in Saturday's Grand Final win. His last quarter was exquisite. Using a body which was 99 days shy of turning 36 and in energy-sapping 29-degree conditions, he was the most agile player in this period, amassing 11 disposals, four of them contested. He has played blinders dozens of times before, but it is not a stretch to say his last quarter of the '23 Grand Final was his finest performance.
...
When others on the field would have been experiencing a whirr of stress, self-doubt and fear when Lion Joe Daniher kicked a goal to bring his team to within four points, with 93 seconds remaining, Pendlebury went into coach mode.
Immediately after that goal and as the ball was being returned to the centre, Pendlebury raced to his forward line players, calmly telling them what they needed to do in order to protect a history-shaping lead. He was pointing here and there to his fellow midfielders, but not frantically. The best leaders are the ones who remain reassuringly calm.
We got to learn part of what Pendlebury said after the ball was bounced, when Brody Mihocek ran to the backline.
...
In the past 12 months, Pendlebury has formed a special relationship with Essendon great Matthew Lloyd. In the mayhem of the Collingwood rooms post-match, the two embraced.
In Pendlebury's capacity as midfield coach beneath Lloyd in Haileybury's APS premiership in 2023, they developed layers of football learning and respect.
"I honestly don't think there has ever been a player influence an AFL game, with regards to organising players around him, and telling players where to position themselves in key moments, than Scott Pendlebury," Lloyd told AFL.com.au.' |

Hard to argue in the modern era at the very least.

An enduring champion, freely sacrificing his game to give his team mates the opportunity and experience they need to take the next step.
One in a million. |
