Magpie Pendlebury receives first ban of 427-game career
Scott Pendlebury faces a one-game suspension for careless conduct with high contact, marking the first ban of his 427-game career, potentially delaying his record-breaking appearance.
- Scott Pendlebury, after 427 games without suspension, received his first ban for a heavy bump on Josh Worrell during Collingwood's match at the MCG on Saturday night.
- During the fourth quarter, Pendlebury rushed into a contest and made contact with Worrell's head, who stayed down before getting to his feet.
- The MRO graded the incident as careless conduct, medium impact on Sunday afternoon and handed down a one-match suspension.
- If the ban stands, Pendlebury will miss Collingwood's match against GWS on March 27, delaying his chance to break Brent Harvey's 432-game record until May 9.
- Under revised AFL guidelines, Pendlebury’s good record, including a $2,500 fine in 2025, may influence his tribunal appeal, but sanctions are not automatically reduced.
