Not quite - Tony Shaw 313, Gordon Coventry 306. |

The great man Pendles captains the club for the 200th time v Port.
Billy will play his 150th game v Melbourne.
Checkers will play his 100th & Darcy Cameron his 50th game in the last round v the filth.
Madgen needs 1 more to reach 50, Crisp is 7 games away from 200, Cox needs 13 for his 100th, Sidey has 18 games until his 300th, Adams 19 away from his 200th & JDG 19 from 150th.

In my dream journal I'm pencilling in Pendles to be holding a Norm Smith and Premiership medal at the end of his 400th. The maths will be pretty close. |

He'll obviously have his hands on Nick Daicos's Norm Smith medal.
Only it could well be this year. |

So why do people even entertain this idea that he will step out of this role? |

Best by far. Just a shame he never got a Brownlow.
Still, he's in illustrious company, including Matthews, Carey, Ablett Snr, and Daicos, never to get a Charlie. |

He sure has been the quintessential captain for the Pies this season, as we surely needed a leader with great experience, poise and sublime skill.
I have a feeling he would be really chuffed with this award 😊 |

Fantastic
Makes a total mockery of me saying he probably should have given up the captaincy at the end of last year to pave the way for a new era under Fly. _________________ | 1902 | 1903 | 1910 | 1917 | 1919 | 1927 | 1928 | 1929 | 1930 | 1935 | 1936 | 1953 | 1958 | 1990 | 2010 | 2023 | |

I was just thinking about how good he's been this year. TBH, I'd all but given up on him and Sidey because as good as they have been over the years — and Pendles is definitely one of our greats — they were getting overrun by faster, stronger mids under Buckley. We know Pendles is a super player, but I felt he was no longer good enough against the best mids in the best teams.
Not so on his performance this year. The lesson is that even veterans can do better with the right coach playing a much better brand of footy. In fact, you can see it was a breath of fresh air for him, as it obviously was for Sidey (and I suspect it would be for Grundy, too). I reckon Pendles is much stronger in the tackle this year, too. I'm not sure whether that's been a focus or as I say, the fresh air of McRae just makes everything better, but I reckon he's back to his best.
He played a blinder last week, but the thing that really caught my eye was the job he did on Petracca in the second half against Melbourne, greatly limiting his effectiveness (regardless of whatever possessions Petracca got). I thought it showed incredibly unselfish leadership. _________________ In the end the rain comes down, washes clean the streets of a blue sky town.

I now rate him as our best ever player and our 2nd best captain. There's an argument that he's our best ever captain, based on the consistency and length of his reign as captain, however, to my mind Tuddy was our greatest captain because of his ferocity, courage, toughness and tenacity. Then again, they were from two different eras, so maybe it's wrong to compare them. Maybe I'd best just say that Tuddy and Pendles are our two greatest captains. Both legends. |

so well deserved, i agree Rudey, best ever player, just so well rounded, unselfish, a quiet but effective leader who is clearly so well loved by the players _________________ You cant fix stupid, turns out you cant quarantine it either! |
