Phil Davis

Phil Davis on the timeless Scott Pendlebury.

I actually went, Gerard, my first ever Anzac Day game and did two things.

A, the opportunity to reflect on what an advantage it is to being drafted by Collingwood or Eston that you just get to play in such an amazing game for free.

That's a nice win.

You don't have to even earn it.

And then the second one was just to look at Scott and try to do the maths on how he can still be so good.

Yeah, he was remarkable.

He was so dominant.

Obviously, I think all the tailwind was for Dacos always to win stuff.

And it just got to about halfway through the third and I was like, Scott's just been too good.

But yeah, he was remarkable and I really enjoyed his one-on-one in the cage free kick and goal.

That was very good too.

So no, it was great to watch and the crowd just loved it, which was very good too.

Yeah, no, it was.

You know, sometimes you get nostalgic for different reasons, but it's very rare that you get this perfect moment

this perfect concoction of a player's playing really well.

It's a big game.

It ends up being largely a Collingwood crowd.

And you think I might take an opportunity to say thank you to someone that's given us 20 years of service.

I think it all boiled up and then, you know, it ends up with the opportunity to formally acknowledge it in a medal.
