The article is a live blog post for the 2026 AFL season, focusing on Scott Pendlebury's record-breaking game. It also previews other matches happening concurrently.
No late changes for either side.
North made one change this week, bringing Riley Hardeman in for the dropped Tom Blamires. The Suns have lost Will Graham and Lachie Weller to injury, and have replaced them with Sam Clohesy and Ben Long.
We're about 15 minutes from the bounce (throw, whatever) in this one.
Hello and welcome back to ABC Sport's live blog coverage of the 2026 AFL season. Or perhaps more accurately, welcome to ABC Sport's live blog coverage of Scott Pendlebury day.
That's right, the Collingwood veteran today breaks the V/AFL games record. It's an occasion so big you can see it from space, and the Pies have pulled out all the stops to try make this day as special and lucrative as possible. They play the Eagles, whom they assume to be an easy kill and sideshow to the celebrations, and all eyes will be on Scott and his golden number 10 guernsey.
But that's not all! North Melbourne can make a statement today against Gold Coast! Two of the best teams in the league in Geelong and Sydney are playing at the same time as the Pendlebury game! One of Port Adelaide and Carlton will win a game!
There's almost too much happening. Lucky the blog will be here throughout to bring the best of it straight to you.
