Scott Pendlebury games record, suspension, versus Geelong
The swapping of home games has been discussed.
sportnation.nzHere are the latest updates on Scott Pendlebury and his games, based on recent AFL reporting:
- Pendlebury received a one-match suspension for rough conduct in mid-March 2026, which was later downgraded to a fines-only outcome after tribunal proceedings. This kept his 427-game streak intact while delaying a potential milestone game for the moment.[1][2][4]
- Despite the ban, Pendlebury’s status remained that he could reach the AFL/VFL games record soon, with discussions about scheduling milestones around the Anzac Day period and Round 8 matchups, depending on any further tribunal outcomes.[2][3]
- After the tribunal decision, Pendlebury was positioned to play in the next rounds, with continued attention on when he would surpass Brent Harvey’s games record, potentially against Hawthorn in Round 8 or Hawthorn later, depending on match-by-match availability.[3][2]
Illustration of current context:
- Pendlebury’s milestone trajectory is influenced by match suspensions and tribunal outcomes, as well as Collingwood’s scheduling around the bye and upcoming fixtures.[2][3]
