“You’ll definitely see Jack Crisp down back. I dare say you’ll see myself and Pendles (Scott Pendlebury) play some sort of backline time,” he told RSN927.

So does this cast doubts over Pendles now?

Could be a good upgrade option now, plays in the back line early, scores like shower, then Bucks realises he's needed back in the mids.
Pick him up for low 500's in round 7-8  :P

Some of the comments in the news story are great haha

"Yes , having the player most likely to turn the ball over , across half back ,  that sounds like a Buckley plan to me "

"So now Adams can butcher the ball closer to oppositions goal line ... should be fun to watch."

He was for me anyway. This just confirms it.

Buckely threw him all around the park last year and it was infuriating as hell. I will continue with my mantra "The next SC generation is here" and miss him this year.

I am in denial about Pendles.   How about we just move Buckley on and get on with it.

Yeah play your best player at half back bucks, genius.

Staring midfield should be Grundy, Pendles, Treloar, Adams.

On the bright side, Pendles with defender status next year sounds nice

Rd 22, 2015: 155 SC (32 disposals, 11 marks, 6 tackles)
Rd 2, 2016: 110 SC (26 disposals, 5 marks, 4 tackles)
Rd 3, 2016: 102 SC (27 disposals, 3 marks, 4 tackles, 2 goals)

Are his games playing across half-back in the last 2 and a bit seasons.

Iv said it a few times but Buckley seems to look to Pendles more and more as a Mr Fix it now
while favouring giving the younger up and coming mids more time in the guts.

It is hard to judge how the inconsistency of being moved around where needed impacts a players natural game
and in turn their SC scores.

Pendles will always score premo numbers but there is a difference between 106 and 115.

I'd pay a little bit more and go Merret/Crouch/Neale. Or go a bit less for Beams. Still an option though, just don't think he's the player he once was.

Crisp replaces Maynard at half back, Pendles still in the middle. Will probably still do better than Adams or Treloar in SC because he can actually think and not panic kick

[sammy123]

This will be the first time in a long time that i haven't picked him in my starting lineup

Same time. Can't remember a team without him.

I'm sure I'll change my mind by the time R1 comes around, but at this stage I'm steering clear of all Pies Mids. Once the days of reliability, have now become uncertainty.
