Recap the blog as we took you through Collingwood champion Scott Pendlebury's case at the Tribunal
www.afl.com.auHere are the latest public updates on Scott Pendlebury:
- Pendlebury avoided suspension at AFL Tribunal in March 2026, with his one-match ban downgraded to a $3,000 fine due to exceptional and compelling circumstances. This keeps him available for ongoing Collingwood matches, including the Round 27 date and potential finals, subject to team selection.[3][4][7]
- Earlier in March 2026, Pendlebury faced a tribunal hearing after a rough-conduct charge but benefited from his long, clean-record history, which contributed to the reduced penalty.[2][3]
- In late March 2026, reports noted Pendlebury’s continued readiness and form, with the club highlighting his professionalism and fitness as he pursued momentum toward the 400-game milestone.[1][7]
