For 60 minutes in a very low-intensity game where he can roll around on Anzac Day.

No, they could have easily if they'd managed his minutes.

And same goes for Howe, who played 110 minutes.

How could you have still done that?

Well, last night wasn't breaking the record.

Last night was a very important game.

He would break it in Sydney.

You can still manage when you break it.

Well, yes, I am.

Because what was the point of cooking him to the point where he could not front up in a game on a Thursday night against Hawthorne where if he plays, they win?

I'm worried about the team here.

I think they've prioritised the individual, which is what I said last week, to the point where it's cost them a win.

Now, it may come back to hurt them significantly at the end of the year.

Pendlebury should have been playing last night if they were smart about it.

The club disagrees.

You disagree.

I just can't see how you can argue against cooking this guy for 26 minutes in the third quarter last week, for 30 minutes, nearly 31 minutes in the last quarter, and then him not playing last night because it's about the individual and not the team.

But he was managed in opening round where everyone was saying, oh, how good's this?

He sat the first 25 minutes on the bench, and then he came on and did what?

So why is it okay to manage him there, but it's not okay to manage him on Anzac Day?
