If you're just going on stats it's hard to go past Gordon Coventry.

First VFL player to kick 100 goals in a season, first VFL Player to play 300 games, first VFL player to kick over 1000 goals.

Greatness should be about more than just stats though, and it's fair to say we've had many champion players over different eras, and it's hard to compare players from different eras against each other, it's better just to look at how they went in their own era.

Pendles will no doubt be an all time great of the club, whether the greatest or not is purely subjective.

Yep this is a record that will last almost as long as Gordon Coventry's.

He is my best Collingwood player ever. It's so much harder to play the game these days than in the 1920s-30s VFL - no disrespect to our great Machine teams. Bucks is the only other one to come really close. But Pendles is the man now.

of course. without doubt

Depends on eras I guess
It’s hard to judge eras from decades ago against the players today
One we didn’t get the chance to see many of those champions play unlike today when we see them weekly

But Pendles wouldn’t be out of place in any era of the clubs history like Buckley and Swan.

10,000+ disposals. Legendary number for a legendary player.

How did pendles bring up his 10k disposal I thought it was a kick off half back and went straight to an Essendon player on the wing mcc side spurs the moment but does anyone actually know

[What'sinaname]

^ dude, it doesn't matter.

Was Pendles chaired off the ground post the siren, surely he was acknowledged some way for this amazing achievement. ?

[Jezza]

^ Wasn't chaired off. It was acknowledged in the rooms post-game.

He is an all time champion but Buckley imo was our best ever player.
