I get what\u2019s left, which will be going to family, Mum and Dad, one each for my [two] kids, one to both my brothers, and then that\u2019s it, so none of mine will be found elsewhere.\u201d<\/p>\n Discussion in the lead-in to Pendlebury\u2019s milestone game centred on the financial windfall he was set to receive, after the Magpies approached the AFL asking to pass their share of merchandise proceeds to Pendlebury.<\/p>\n This masthead understands that was a club initiative and not driven by the Pendlebury camp. The league ticked that arrangement off because of the historic circumstances.<\/p>\n The AFL-AFLW collective bargaining agreement entitles players celebrating significant milestones to 65 per cent net revenue from commercial memorabilia, but Pendlebury will receive closer to 90 per cent.<\/p>\n Editor’s pick None of that amount will count towards Collingwood\u2019s salary cap.<\/p>\n This development sparked criticism, including that Pendlebury\u2019s case could create a loophole for clubs to manipulate the salary cap and potentially pay players with impending milestones a lower salary in exchange for helping them cash in from memorabilia instead.<\/p>\n Former St Kilda forward Nick Riewoldt was critical on Channel Seven of the AFL again making \u201crules on the run\u201d.<\/p>\n Three sources who work in list or player management, and spoke to this masthead on the condition of anonymity to discuss the matter more freely, echoed Riewoldt\u2019s sentiments.<\/p>\n Related Article They also felt it was realistic that a club might pitch to a player agent a scenario where their client received a lower base salary in a season they played a major milestone match.<\/p>\n \u201cI think it\u2019s opened Scott up to ridicule and to criticism from other football fans. Not Collingwood \u2013 they\u2019re not going to turn on him, obviously,\u201d Riewoldt said.<\/p>\n \u201cBut other football fans and even other clubs to the point that people are saying that this is turning into a GoFundMe for Scott Pendlebury. When you have a salary cap, you can\u2019t allow this, if you\u2019re the AFL, to this extent. This is just rules on the run and a free-for-all.\u201d<\/p>\n The AFL does not believe its decision to approve Pendlebury\u2019s larger memorabilia share will create a situation where clubs try to cheat the system, and it will audit the Collingwood champion\u2019s financial return.<\/p>\n Beyond the one-off jumpers, there will be separate tribute guernseys available to be bought, as well as other SP433-designed memorabilia, a special edition black-and-white football, scarves and a Pendlebury bobble head.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Pendlebury has also spruiked commemorative bottles of wine, sold by Elite Estate, for his record-breaking game that can be purchased.<\/p>\n The Magpies renamed an existing one-game membership package, now called a \u201cPendleship\u201d<\/a>, which costs $43.30 and includes a general admission ticket and basic club merchandise. Pendlebury will not receive anything from these memberships or other gate receipts for the match.<\/p>\n Puma also paid an undisclosed amount to rename the AFL Record \u201cThe Scott Pendlebury\u201d for round 11.<\/p>\n Keep up to date with the best AFL coverage in the country.
