On Monday, Pendlebury will break Tony Shaw's Collingwood games record (313) and Nathan Buckley's club captaincy record (161) when he takes on Port Adelaide.
He remains one of nine players from that draft still playing, and is arguably the best of the bunch, although Josh Kennedy has a say in that race .
The 2010 premiership player and Norm Smith Medal winner said he would spend this week thanking those who have helped him to this milestone. He singled out Paul Licuria as one of them, thanks to his "training standards" tips, and Nick Maxwell as another, thanks to his captaincy advice. "It's not just how you perform on the field, it's how you act off the field and how you treat people along the way," he said of Maxwell's advice."The football club being so stable in my time [has helped]. I have only played for Mick [Malthouse] and Nathan [Buckley]. The board has been pretty stable, the football club has played finals 11 out of the 15 years I have been here.
