"Age shall not weary him": Pendlebury defies time with career best performance

Scott Pendlebury has once again defied Father Time with a performance for the ages on ANZAC Day.

With the Pies running amok against the Bombers to secure a 77-point victory, the 38-year-old played a crucial role in their victory.

In his 431st game in the AFL (one off Brent Harvey's all-time games record), Pendlebury achieved a career high 43 disposals, breaking his previous record of 42 disposals back in 2013 in their Round 16 clash against the Crows.

The veteran was also vital in the team's scoring, having been involved in 19 of Collingwood's 37 scores throughout the match.

He also achieved a game high of two goal assists alongside kicking two goals of his own.

As he kicked his second goal, which saw him collect his 43rd disposal, SEN's Gerard Whateley summed up his performance succinctly.

"Age shall not weary him," he declared on AFL Nation.

"It's an astonishing addition to an extraordinary career."

With his performance, Pendlebury would collect his fourth ANZAC Day Medal, which sees him surpass James Hird for the most in AFL history.

The Magpies now rise to 8th on the ladder with their fourth win of the season.
