Pendlebury Diaries: The Record Breaker - Episode 4: The Record is Broken
5/24/202648 min
Game 433. We go inside one of the biggest weeks in football history.
From the wall-to-wall media frenzy, Monday at the MCG, the morning of The Record and then THE DAY... this is the build-up you never saw coming. School pick-ups. Midweek netball runs. The beautiful chaos of normal life unfolding in the middle of a historic week. But as the noise grows louder, Pendles narrows his focus. Back into game mode. Back into routine.
Then comes the record breaking game itself. The stars descend. The atmosphere. The Magpies are pushed to the limit in a heart-stopping thriller… and somehow hold on as history is made.
It's behind-closed-doors moments from one of the greatest careers the game has ever seen.
The record is broken. And it’s gold.
To mark the historic milestone in history, Elite Estate Wine proudly presents the SP433 Record Breaker Pinot Noir – a limited-edition celebrating Scott Pendlebury as he surpasses the all-time games record. Get in and get a bottle today!

Excited but tired as, uh, Jax decided to wake up multiple times- By detailing his every move in the preseason of the 2025 AFL season, Scott took us all on a journey, lifting the lid on what it really takes to be an AFL player It's the thing you see break the most people is probably not how hard the session is, it's how hard the session's gonna be. People psych themselves out. Christmas Eve, a few catch-ups with people already this year. Most of the time it's just a couple of beers and- Um, we're training today. Like, you almost laugh when you see training on the board because it's so much shorter than what we're doing in preseason because- We're six days out. Um, training was awesome. Super sharp.
