Pendlebury, who also has the most disposals in AFL history, is undoubtedly a Collingwood legend but there has been some backlash over whether the celebration of the milestone has become a money-making exercise. <\/p>\n
The Magpies veteran will wear up to 12 different guernseys during the game with the gold No. 10 emblazoned in gold on the back. He clarified all the guernseys would go to Collingwood and his family.<\/p>\n

However Pendlebury is still set for a big payday as he will receive 100 per cent of the revenue made from memorabilia sold for the game.<\/p>\n
That includes a special edition SP433 jersey ($120), a scarf ($90), and even a bobblehead ($40). <\/p>\n
4.40pm – Pendles bodies Harley Reid <\/p>\n
Eagles young gun Harley Reid sent Pendlebury to the MCG turf with a \u2018don\u2019t argue\u2019 fend early in the game, leaving the Collingwood champion on his backside.<\/p>\n
But Pendlebury got his revenge minutes later, dropping a shoulder into Reid and knocking him over the boundary line. <\/p>\n
\u201cPendles finally got him back,\u201d Cameron Mooney said on Kayo Sports.<\/p>\n
West Coast have come out firing and lead 20 to 18 at quarter time, taking it right up to the Pies. <\/p>\n
4.20pm – Collingwood\u2019s gold jersey statement<\/p>\n
Pendlebury led his team out and ran through the banner with his two children. Every single Collingwood player is wearing a gold number on the back of their guernsey. <\/p>\n
\u201cI love it. I love myself some merch,\u201d David King said on Kayo Sports. <\/p>\n
\u201cIt looks terrific. Doesn\u2019t it look great on the back of the jumper. It looks awesome. Great to see the club have gone with the full 23 (in gold). <\/p>\n
\u201cGee that\u2019s striking. That looks terrific. Well done Collingwood.\u201d<\/p>\n
Magpies coach Craig McRae said: \u201cThe jumpers look good. I\u2019m not sure we got approval for all of them, we might get in trouble for that. We wanted to look like a team.\u201d<\/p>\n
The AFL did give Collingwood approval for every player to wear a gold number, but Pendlebury\u2019s teammates didn\u2019t know about it until moments before the game.<\/p>\n
A special dual premiership ring designed by jeweller Jeff Devers will be auctioned off post match. The ring is valued at $50,000 and all proceeds of the sale will go to My Room Children\u2019s Cancer Charity. <\/p>\n
Even Pendlebury acknowledged the attention around his record breaking game had gone a little over the top. <\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve tried to lap it up and enjoy it,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s pretty funny, I was doing some shopping yesterday down in Elwood and they clapped me when I walked out and I was holding a pumpkin. It\u2019s like, I\u2019m getting clapped for buying a pumpkin!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBut it\u2019s been fun and I\u2019ve enjoyed it. Now\u2019s the easy part where you get to go out and play.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Magpies are heavy favourites to get the win but West Coast have considered employing a tag on Pendlebury via Harley Reid or Milan Murdock, who shut down GWS star Lachie Whitfield last week. <\/p>\n
Fellow 400 gamer Shaun Burgoyne said on Kayo Sports: \u201cWe\u2019re in the midst of witnessing greatness right now. I don\u2019t think we\u2019ll ever see anyone break his record because it just looks like it\u2019s too far.<\/p>\n
Pendlebury will wear boots designed by his kids Jax and Darcy, which he described as the \u201cbest thing I\u2019ve ever received in footy\u201d. <\/p>\n
Kayo Sports will have a dedicated Pendlebury camera for viewers want to follow his every move throughout the game. <\/p>\n
