The incident was graded as careless conduct, medium impact and high contact.<\/p>\n
The ban would rule out Pendlebury from the Magpies\u2019 Round 3 clash with GWS after their bye.<\/p>\n
Unless he can overturn it using the \u2018good character clause\u2019 at the tribunal, which Brisbane star Charlie Cameron successfully used in the past.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve never been in this situation in 427 games,\u201d Pendlebury said on Seven.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m not sure what happens or how it works but we\u2019ll have a chat tomorrow and see where it lands.\u201d<\/p>\n
Pendlebury was originally set to break Brent Harvey\u2019s VFL\/AFL games record of 432 in a home game against Hawthorn at the MCG in Round 8. <\/p>\n
However, pending a tribunal challenge, Pendlebury\u2019s historic feat is now set to be pushed back at least a week to an away game against Geelong at the MCG in Round 9.<\/p>\n
\u201cExemplary record can be exceptional, compelling circumstances … he\u2019s played 472 games and never been suspended. It\u2019s almost the Scott Pendlebury clause,\u201d Fox Footy\u2019s David Zita said.<\/p>\n
\u201cCharlie Cameron was an interesting one, they spoke about compelling circumstances with his record. There was a fair bit of backlash to the fact that got off.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut I don\u2019t know if anyone is going to be too upset if Pendlebury uses the \u2018good bloke defence\u2019 at the tribunal, given the amount of games he\u2019s played without a ban.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Scott Pendlebury has been handed the first suspension of his 427 AFL appearances to stall the Collingwood champion\u2019s…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":541506,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[560],"tags":[9126,638,218296,268268,64,63,55,639,684,156828,10133,18619,12126,37357,268267,19083,85],"class_list":["post-541505","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-afl","tag-adelaide-crows","tag-afl","tag-all-time-games-record","tag-all-time-record","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-australian-football-league","tag-australianfootballleague","tag-ben-cotton","tag-brent-harvey","tag-collingwood-magpies","tag-home-game","tag-josh-worrell","tag-one-match-ban","tag-pies-champ","tag-scott-pendlebury","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/541505","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=541505"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/541505\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/541506"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=541505"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=541505"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=541505"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
