Scott Pendlebury

He treats every game he goes to like a grand final.

So he's coming down, Mum and Dad, staying at my place Friday, so it'll be good to catch up with them.

Just back into the process today, get to training, get my prep work done, just train well, train sharp, get ready for West Coast.

Probably have a chat today as well with Boydie.

I sort of watched a bit of the West Coast stuff and I wouldn't mind leaning in on Harley Reid around the ground at stoppages, centre bounce.

I've just seen a few things that I reckon I can sort of play with him and which will help us get the win.

Because he's obviously quite influential for them, especially around clearance work.

Straight into a fin from Harley.

That was on Pendlebury as well.

Yeah, I wouldn't mind the challenge of...

That focus of, you know, trying to take him out of the game in that phase because I feel like still, you know, still a young player.

And with young players, they sort of ebb and flow a little bit.

And I reckon if we can take away his momentum at stoppages, it does go a long way for us to control territory.

Handball back over the top.

I'll have a chat to Boydie about that today and he might hit me for six and say no, but he might also like the idea.

Something that I've done a lot later in my career with, you know, landing on guys like Paddy Cripps or Bonson Pelley at stages.

just guys like that to try and take their influence away.

But it also allows Jordy and Nick and stuff like that to get after the game and play.

And I can sort of, almost in a sense, it's like I'll just catch back up to the game in transition after I do that role at stoppage.

So yeah, looking forward to it.
