Scott Pendlebury (Silk)

[Harrysz]

Great comments Rude Boy.
I especially agree with your comments about Tuddy.

The Man, the Myth, the Legend. You've known him for years, it's Scott Pendlebury!

Nick Daicos knew there was something special happening at Collingwood when he saw Scott Pendlebury carrying on.

Jamie Elliott had just sunk Carlton, sending the Magpies into the AFL top four and punting the Blues out of finals in one fell swoop.

As Daicos and his teammates erupted, even the typically subdued Pendlebury couldn't help but charge off the bench, fist-pumping and punching the air.

"I actually spoke to him about it because he's usually very calm and composed, but he went crazy which I love," Daicos told reporters on Thursday.

"It was good to see. You know when he's going crazy that something good's happened. It was awesome."

^Instinctive footy will always be better footy for someone like Scott because discipline and prep are never an issue. But discipline alone doesn't bring you joy. Hearing what you've said, and seeing the smile again on Sidey's face as well, and seeing Pendles care as much about his own enjoyment and that of his temmates, instead of playing a joyless 'role' trying to limit bigger mids and be BOG at the same time, means the spark is back.

Honestly, watching him trying to coordinate a centre bounce last year was a soulless business. I felt sorry for him and Tay. Now, he gets to love footy again as the creative player he is, rather than being a bloody stoppage chess master. And consider that Sidey is even more creative and instinctive than Pendles; little wonder the bloke has that smile back.

Update.

Most disposals:

Robert Harvey = 9,656 (av. 25.21)
Scott Pendlebury = 9,228 (av. 25.99)
Brent Harvey = 9,213 (av. 21.33)
Kevin Bartlett = 9,151 (av. 22.76)
Gary Ablett Jr = 8,896 (av. 24.92)

Pendles moves past Boomer Harvey.

Pendles has had a superb season. He has captained magnificently. The club is really supporting him and the players now. Great credit to him - best I have seen from him for years - for me, it is the smarts, the selflessness and the skill. What a magnificent player we have had the privilege of seeing.

[23 YIPPEE!!!]

Must say surprise has isnt the AA captain i think if you are captain of the year then you should be captain of the AA team as well.

Heading into the Brownlow count for 2022:

Now Has:
Played 358 Games. (Most club games and most games as club captain).
Premiership Player: 2010.
Norm Smith Medal: 2010.
Most games played at the MCG.
6× All-Australian Team: 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2019.
3× AFL ANZAC Day Medal: 2010, 2011, 2019 (Tied record).
5× Copeland Trophy: 2011, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016.
Most Brownlow votes from a Collingwood player.
6th all time for total Brownlow votes.
Has the most total Brownlow votes without a win.

Needs:
*3 more Brownlow votes to enter the top 5 for total votes.

*1 Anzac Day medal to be the outright leader. (Currently tied with Hird on 3 wins). You never know, he could still get another.

*1 Copeland Trophy to equal Buckley with the most on 6 wins. (Probably out of reach now with younger players taking over).

Tonight we'll be hoping to see Pendles name come up a few times, and not Selwood.
Selwood is 3 votes behind Pendles. And Pendles is 2 behind Harvey in 5th place.

[Presti35]

Sadly just the 2 votes this year. That has him equal 5th on 215.
Selwood got 4 and sits 7th on 214.
Pendles remains the highest overall vote getter for a player without a Brownlow win. By 1 vote over Selwood.
Next years count will be fun.

[Arch@M32]

A decade later and I just refound this thread. Pendles definitely rose above the other names mentioned.

[Presti35]

^or not.
Selwood retires with Pendlebury in the top 5 and still the highest vote getter without a win.
I think Pendles will hold that title for a while "most votes without a win".

https://afltables.com/afl/brownlow/totals0.html

Dangerfield needs 10 to be second all-time. Pendles needs 12 to be 4th all-time. Might be hard to do that now considering he has just 8 votes over the last 2 years.
Next year lets go for the Anzac Medal, and most importantly a flag. (Wouldn't say no to a Norm Smith either). I think the Brownlow is out of reach, but would be nice to get a few more votes next count.
