‘I Hope It’s Against Us’: Mini Wants Pendlebury Game
McRae says Collingwood has a deliberate plan for Pendlebury’s workload as the veteran nears the VFL/AFL games record.
- On Saturday, Collingwood veteran Scott Pendlebury will equal Brent Harvey's VFL/AFL record of 432 games during the Magpies' clash with Geelong at the MCG.
- Collingwood coach Craig McRae implemented a deliberate rest plan because Pendlebury has not played many five-day breaks historically, noting the veteran was not in a position to play physically last week.
- Addressing reports labeling the plan selfish, McRae defended the veteran, stating, "I would have thought Pendles is probably the least selfish person in our team."
- To honor the "living legend," the club plans to celebrate his career within their building, with Pendlebury expected to wear a gold number on his jumper to mark the occasion.
- The 38-year-old is set to break the North Melbourne champion's 10-year-old record against West Coast in round 11, a milestone McRae insists deserves all the attention it receives.
