| Less than two hours until the first bounce in this milestone game and not yet the slightest acknowledgement of Pendlebury's achievement on the AFL home page. |

| ^ You're alone in that. All of the rest of us wanted it to occur in a near-empty stadium with no Collingwood supporters present, in a State none us are presently allowed to visit. |

The AFL’s like Scott Morrison, “it’s a matter for the states [clubs], not the federal government [AFL].” |

If it's any consolation every game he plays for now on will be a recording breaking game, so we'll be there for it sooner or later.

Disappointed with channel 7's pre-match tribute

Abbey Holmes and Channel 7, you are an absolute disgrace.
Carrying on like a stupid bitch whilst Pendles is being chaired off.
Well done to the Port player for holding up the interview.

The whole CH7 commentary has been progressively been getting worse over the last few years.

Pathetic. Consistently the greatest of all modern day players and they can’t even show a little respect. |

Like wtf are 7 doing? The cameras should have been on Pendles and on the guard of honour the Port players gave him. Why are they showing her and why is she interviewing and holding a player up? When he clearly wanted to go.
Players can be interviewed all the time. We'll be lucky to see that milestone reached again in our lives.
And the ironic thing is she's asking about feeling disrespected because they are not the fave with the bookies.

It was just pathetic wasn't it Presti. The player being interviewed had to tell her that it was a pretty significant moment with Pendles being chaired off!!
Well done to the Port players to form a guard of honour... other teams may not have so readily acknowledged such a magnficent milestone at another club. (Probably not a Luke Beveridge led Bulldogs, who thought it was funny the way the Essendon crowd booed Pendles when he won the Anzac Day medal. I've disliked Beveridge ever since!). |

Well he isn't retiring - he's simply broken a club record.
So it's not overly important to remain quiet in this instance.
Regardless, their on field commentators, male or female, are under an instruction by a broadcast director, to either comment or be silent.
The Muppet is in a booth, in this circumstance.

Scott Pendlebury has been named to the 40-Man All-Australian squad. He has been in every 40-man squad since the AFL began doing that in 2007. (Can someone confirm that to be correct, I'm sure he missed one or two)
If he makes the final squad, it will be his 7th overall selection. Which would equal him with Bradley, Buckley, Carey, Roos and Dangerfield, with Danger expected to make the final team and giving him 8 selections.
Only Harvey, Ricciuto, Ablett Jnr and Franklin have 8 selections.

According to the AFL site today, this is Pendles' AA squad record:
| Quote: | Scott Pendlebury
2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2019 All Australian.
Nominated for squad member also in 2009, 2015, 2016, 2018.
13 games in 2020.
323 disposals. 159 kicks, 38 marks, 164 handballs averaging 24.8 disposals, 12.2 kicks, 2.9 marks, 12.6 handballs. 56 Inside 50m. 42 tackles. 59 clearances. 225 effective disposals. |
https://www.afl.com.au/news/510192/all-australian-squad-who-s-in-shock-omissions-three-clubs-miss-out
If that's right (and you'd hope it would be accurate), then he wasn't nominated in 2007 or 2008 and missed again in 2017. He probably missed in 2017 because he was injured a bit and only played 16 games in a year where Collingwood was quite poor. Of course, he did manage 15 Brownlow votes that season (12th), so he can't have been far off the pace.
Still, 11 seasons worthy of nomination for the AFL squad is some remarkable career. |
