Determining Scott Pendlebury's greatest career game is no easy task — especially when there are 432 performances to choose from.

It is quite literally the most difficult assignment given how many matches, and high-level efforts, he's produced.

But in a week dedicated to celebrating and honouring the soon-to-be V/AFL games record holder, it became fitting that a moment of reflection and admiration of Pendlebury ensued.

To play 433 AFL games shouldn't be understated, and given his composed and pragmatic demeanour, on occasion, his incredible feats and longevity can be too easily dismissed.

It's normally very difficult to stand out in a loss, but Pendlebury did just that when opening the season against the Western Bulldogs.

Pendlebury couldn't have done more, picking up 35 disposals, 10 clearances, six clearances and two goals.

Both his majors were in the final term to help draw Collingwood close to the Bulldogs, but unfortunately, no cigar.
