AFL games record holder Scott Pendlebury has sent tongues wagging with a change to his Instagram bio.

Pendlebury, who signed a two-year contract with Gold Coast in the player movement period after not having his deal renewed at Collingwood, added '7' to his bio, giving the indication he will wear the Suns' number seven guernsey next year.

Rugby league convert Karmichael Hunt wore the number seven in the Suns' inaugural season and it has more recently been worn by Nick Holman, between 2018 and 2026.

After wearing the number 16 in his debut season, Pendlebury has since worn the number 10 guernsey during his storied career for Collingwood, but that is taken by dour defender Charlie Ballard at Gold Coast.
