Several Australian outlets argue that Collingwood should rename the E.W. Copeland Trophy to honour club player Scott Pendlebury. The commentary pieces contend that Pendlebury’s achievements and standing within the club make him a suitable recipient for the club’s highest individual recognition for the best and fairest, which is currently named after E.W. Copeland. The articles frame the proposal as part of a broader effort to acknowledge Pendlebury’s legacy, including the idea of a statue, and suggest the trophy name should reflect that contribution. While the pieces focus on the symbolic value of changing the trophy’s name, they do not present details on any formal process, official vote, or timelines for how such a change would be decided. The overall thrust across sources is that renaming the trophy would be a fitting tribute to Pendlebury and would align the club’s recognition with his impact. None of the excerpts indicate that the club has committed to the proposal, and the matter appears to be presented as a call for consideration rather than an announced policy change.
