It comes as little surprise, but Collingwood stalwart Scott Pendlebury has affirmed his intention to pursue a career in AFL coaching once he hangs up his boots. Currently closing in on the milestone of 400 games, Pendlebury remains a pivotal figure on the field, demonstrating no signs of decline with another strong performance in his recent match against West Coast.

His transition into coaching has already commenced, having served as an assistant to Essendon legend Matthew Lloyd at Haileybury College for the past few years. Renowned for his leadership both on and off the field, Pendlebury’s coaching aspirations were confirmed in a recent interview with SEN, where he expressed his eagerness to formally embark on a coaching career post-retirement.

However, Pendlebury envisions taking a hiatus from the game before delving into coaching full-time. He intends to step away for a period, possibly a year or 18 months, to explore other interests and gain a broader perspective on the sporting world, including soccer, NFL, and basketball. He believes this break will rejuvenate him before diving back into the coaching realm with renewed vigor.

Acknowledging the challenges within the coaching landscape, Pendlebury understands why some former players are drawn to alternative post-career paths like media roles, particularly considering the financial constraints imposed by reduced soft caps in AFL clubs. Nonetheless, his passion for coaching remains unwavering, fueled by his enjoyment of working with young players and mentors like Matthew Lloyd.

As Pendlebury approaches the milestone of 400 games, he remains uncertain about his playing future beyond the current season. He emphasizes the importance of honest discussions with the club regarding his role and contribution, prioritizing the team’s needs over personal considerations.

Whether Pendlebury extends his playing career into 2025 hinges on various factors, including his fitness, role within the team, and alignment with the club’s objectives. Regardless of his decision, Pendlebury’s commitment to Collingwood’s success, both on and off the field, remains steadfast.
