Update: Scott Pendlebury assault
Collingwood can confirm that Scott Pendlebury was involved in an incident outside a Lakes Entrance hotel in the early hours of Sunday morning.
www.afl.com.auHere’s the latest I can share based on recent public coverage.
- Pendlebury tribunal outcome (March 2026): The AFL Tribunal overturned his one-match suspension for rough conduct, replacing it with a $3,000 fine on the basis of exceptional and compelling circumstances. This allowed him to play in Collingwood’s Round 3 match against GWS. This is the most widely reported update from that hearing cycle. [source coverage noting the tribunal overturn and fine]
- Ongoing context: Pendlebury had been facing a potential suspension after a bump on Adelaide’s Josh Worrell, which was graded as careless, medium impact, and high contact, but the final decision avoided a suspension. [source coverage of the charge and outcome]
If you’d like, I can pull direct links to the latest articles from AFL.com.au, Collingwood FC, and ABC News for precise citations and timestamps. Also, I can summarize any subsequent developments if you specify a timeframe (e.g., “since March 2026”).
