Bloody hell, that insight is as close to being on the ground as we'll ever get.
There's another thread about who should be our next statue, Pendlegoat then daylight.

Yes they certainly just don’t kick the ball in the general direction of goal
This is obviously part of the Craig’ game style/plan
Fly was on with Andrew Gaze & Andy Marr who asked his plans for 2024 & his answer
“I have a few ideas I’m working on “. Bloke doesn’t stop in the quest to get
“Better”

We all know there is no “Pendles “ in-waiting!!
There might be of equal or better delivery by hand and foot but no one who appears to have all the time in the world to consider options
Nick Daicos has the foot/ hand skills and might be close to heir apparent
Then young Fin McRae could develop to be very competent
Thoughts please on any other current players who at least can make a good fist of ball transition to advantage to the end result. GOALS

There will be no more little Pendles as well. I have it straight from the horses mouth (attended a sportsman’s night in Bendigo last week featuring Pendles, Sidey and Tony Shaw) where Pendles said that he was having the “snip” the next day. When the audience gasped, he stated that if the need arose again, the process was reversible 😮💨 🤗 😗

Baz, it's a different discussion. You're not talking about good players who can play others into good positions, you're talking about players who can make time stand still as they work out what they want to do. Ablett Senior (not junior). Wayne Carey. Chris Judd. Buddy Franklin. Scott Pendlebury. In the last 40 years. Notice who doesn't make the list - Hird, Voss, anyone from Brisbane or Richmond (including Martin), even Buckley, all great players but not quite THAT great. Amazing. I never thought I'd see a better Collingwood player than Buckley but to see one straight after, I feel blessed. He is amazing. Best player I've seen in my lifetime (and despite what I tell my kids I am actually getting old!) It's a slow burn greatness but hand on heart I will tell my kids that Scott Pendlebury is the greatest Collingwood player I have ever seen... Until Nick Daicos takes his mantle!

My alltime favourite Paicos career overlapped with Buckley which overlapped Pendles which is now overlapping Naicos. Looks like another 10 years or so before we see the next genius.

He was the Embelberry of old in that last quarter.

As he enters his 19th season, Pendlegoat requires 17 games until he joins the 400 Club.
He'll likely need 3 more seasons to reign in Tuck, 20 seasons / 426 games, then Boomer Harvey, 21 seasons / 432 games.
Given the way he prepares himself, the 433 games record might still be in his grasp, which if he stuck at his 21-game average, his 22nd season in 2027 would see him reel them in to play the most games on record.

Laurie - I think your maths is out. Pendles is 50 games off the record. If he played every game for the next two seasons he would get the record in or around the 2025 grand final. In reality, he would likely pass the number in the 2026 season. Beautiful time to retire at the end of 2026 with the highest games ever and a repeat of 4 premierships in a row to emulate the machine of 1927-1930
Not too much to ask is it?

Record 426.
383+21+21 = 425.
Yes it could be done, but he would need to play all 23 H&A games, and we continue to play in finals to be a chance to get the record in 2026.
I was using averages, not absolute, which makes it more likely he'd need to play into 2027.

^ Could be the the first father-son combo to play together if Scott can string together another 12 - 13 seasons
