Nah, he’ll be just entering his best years thenPies4shaw wrote: Not much point wondering about whether he'll catch Pendles because Pendles will probably play until he's 50.
Don't confuse your current path with your final destination. Just because it's dark and stormy now doesn't meant that you aren't headed for glorious sunshine!
No, you wouldn't. It's just Collingwood supporters, dissatisfied that he isn't 8 inches taller, 10 kg heavier and twice as fast.Pies2016 wrote:Looking at Presti’s career highlights in the O P, it’s a fair resume.
It’s ironic because I doubt if you would find an opposition supporter who has any criticism of Sidebottoms ability as a quality and extremely durable footballer.

Well, why not, look at Buddy, older again, and a bloody marvel. Just on Buddy none of us will ever see another 1000 goal player again, ever. Last night was a a moment in football history.

He's been a very durable player, and a remarkably consistent performer. If he maintains his form, there's no reason why he couldn't play on in 2023 and join the 300 Club. However, at his age, it usually becomes a mental issue - will he still have the drive to keep going? Time will tell, but I reckon he'll love our current game plan and will want to snare another flag - maybe as early as next year!

I would have loved to have seen the reaction when Coventry kicked his 1000th. The obvious disparity of reaction would show way the media has changed how it presents “historical” moments and I guess the passion generated these days.

I was there and it was an incredible experience, can't see if ever happening again the way the game is played nowPiesnchess wrote:E wrote:after watching his game in round 1, i would say he certainly could play at least 2 more seasons.

All due respect mate he wasn’t our best last night
6 posters have agreed with you whilst 6 others didn’t give him a vote anywhere in there best 5
I think this shows it was a fairly equal all round team performance
Champion data has him ranked our 9th best player along with super coach and fantasy both 8 or 9
He was again solid and did some good things and was good at directing younger players which is equally important in the team development
Can he make 300 sure he can
Will he make 300 depends on how quick the club wants to push the youth factor
A lot will be dependent on how quick the young players develop this season and our cap position the club has made it clear they are looking long term so that could work against him
I stands to be corrected but isnt 2023 a option in the clubs favour on his contract ?
Anyways I’m pleased it seems all players are playing pretty good after 2 games
