Pendlebury off the shopping list

[hardtack 10,400]

Apparently he has signed a 4 year extension with the Pies... reported on AFL360.

[Guest Jackie]

No doubt he would have had overwhelming pressure to sign if he did not wish to sleep with the fishes.

[Jesse Christ 2,884]

Who was it that signed for one year at the end of last year I forgot?

I want the filth to lose someone. Cloke would be good.

Eddie McFat would demand the first 3 picks in the draft.

[Lord Travis 10,455]

It was Pendlebury. All their big names except Cloke are now off the table.

Pendles is a superstar. Wish we had someone of his quality. Hopefully we can trade our first round picks this coming draft to nab an established gun midfielder.

That seems to confirm it.

I think it's great to see so many young guns showing loyalty and signing big contracts with their current club.

Tom Scully, you are an even bigger f'ing d'ckhead now than you were last year. Hope you spend the rest of your career struggling on the sidelines.

From Scully's perspective he made a good choice. The guy's rating was unwarranted - he is ineffective at this level - and he took advantage of KS's payback obsession to secure himself some control over his life. Melbourne did not lose by losing ts.

[Guest Dr Who]

Obviously didn't want to play in more than half empty stadiums.

[Dr. Gonzo 23,683]

If the Pies, Bombers or Blues don't lose anyone of significance to the expansion I will be very [censored] off. On Footy Classified Monday night Caroline Wilson heavily indicated that there was a gentlemans agreement between Allen and Eddie not to go after any Collingwood players and I'm sure Sheedy would have similar feelings about the Bombers.

[Biffen 12,805]

$4mill for 5 years.

GWS paid more for that guy .

I'm petrified that big Max or Stef might get targeted by them .

They can't mate, GWS can only take one player per club. They already have him, some guy called Scully.

[Pipefitter 2,133]

Sigh. Why did we end up with the player who only wanted money. I think now that scully is gone its good that the big clubs are keeping their players and stretching their caps. Puts us in the drivers seat when we decide to steal some players back from GWS.

[Yossarian 1,820]

Whatevs, I am fkn loving Mitch Clark.

I don't think it's that at all.

After shelling out for Scully, Davis and Ward, GWS don't have a lot of cap room to play with for signing out of contract players, unless they want to lose all their kids cos thye can't pay them.

[Good Times Grimes 2,396]

As strange as it sounds, I almost prefer seeing him re-sign with the filth than go to GW$. I hope that the players on our list have this same level of loyalty, unlike HWMNBN

Yep and it looks as though Dangerfield is going to sign for 5 at Adelaide so we are going to have to develop our own. This coming draft is going to be very important to state the obvious.

[The Chazz 4,077]

Whatevs, I am fkn loving Mitch Clark.

We could've still had both.

Anyone that thinks we are botter off without $cummy are kidding themselves. When 100% fit, he was best 18 by a long way, we're crying out for a superstar mid and this bloke is the closest in the league to becomming that. Sure, would've made our salary cap tight, but we would've managed I'm certain.

It seems other top players are sacrificing some big pay days by not going to GW$, and I would imagine that Selwood or Pendle's cotnract wouldn;t be small, but they are still keeping most of their better players at the same time.

[Yossarian 1,820]

We wouldn't have been able to have both in the team because we wouldn't have had the money to throw Mitch Clark's way if we'd already spent it trying to keep Scully.

Much happier seeing Mitch Clark in the team than I'm disappointed that ol mate did a bolter.

[pitmaster 3,442]

My first thought on hearing this was what HWSNBN would think.

Pendlebury could have had $1 mill a year but will take much less and will be a club hero on several levels.

He will never been seen as a mere mercenary.

If anything this cheapens our former number one draft pick in character terms even further.

[Biffen 12,805]

Whatevs, I am fkn loving Mitch Clark.

Me 500.

The guy has passion

I can tell he is home

Who?

Pendlebury has fallen out of favour with Bucks it seems. How about we make a move on luring Pendlebury away from the Pies. it would be a massive coup and the most amazing '[censored] you' to the Filth.

Oct 9, 2015 - COLLINGWOOD captain Scott Pendlebury will be a Magpie for life after signing a four-year contract extension.

Oct 16, 2016 - COLLINGWOOD captain Scott Pendlebury says AFL contracts are now meaningless as players demand trade moves in growing numbers

 

Please be gentle with me.

Bucks will be gone before Pendles needs to make a decision.  A new coach will come in and Pendles will hang around.

The only reason I can see that not happening is if they are desperate to land another first rounder but, again, I don't think it will be Pendles they move on.

[Diamond_Jim 12,351]

ooooooooooooooooouch

all those references to how lucky we were to have Mitch Clark in place of the guy who went to GWS were very painful
