So KM you reckon Pendles has touched the cocoon and he won’t get any worse and will never ever retire?
Basically after a player hits about 28 he’s not going to improve and it’s just a matter of time. Pendles is 31 next year.
As for Cripps, Carlton people are scared he will be broken before they ever get into contention. Pendles is elusive and is not a “bull” and has lasted well as a clearance mid, and not attracted attention the way Cripps does.
Reminds me of a decent sledge our coach gave us at half time.
‘We have two sorts of players on this team. Those who know they can’t play footy and put in, and those who think they can and don’t.’
This could go down as one of the all time worst trade/drafting decisions. Shouls things play out like this, l would expect the dill that came up with the idea to be given the boot, quick smart. However, if it is SOS l want him to stay on in charge for another decade.
