It will come as a surprise to few, but Collingwood champion Scott Pendlebury has confirmed he plans to pursue AFL coaching after he retires from playing. The former Magpies skipper is closing in on becoming just the sixth player in VFL/ AFL history to break the magical 400-game barrier and, with another 28 disposals in game 392 against West Coast on Sunday, is showing no signs of slowing down just yet.
But he is of a dying breed, and understands why former players are becoming more drawn to things like media when their playing days are done, given the cuts to AFL clubs’ soft caps since the pandemic. “I think from speaking to a lot of people in the industry, it’s probably not as attractive as it once was, say 10-15 years ago,” Pendlebury said. “To be brutally honest, I think financially, with the soft cap, it’s taken a massive hit.
