The Howie Games presents a special new series.

Pendlebury Diaries is built from personal, real time voice notes exchanged between Scott Pendlebury and Mark Howard, tracking the weeks and months leading into his record-breaking AFL game. Early mornings, training, recovery, mindset, family, a fourth Anzac Day Medal as it unfolds and even Collingwood boardroom insights - the stuff that usually stays behind closed doors.

Episode 1 goes inside the mind of Scott Pendlebury as he chases history. From the heartbreak of tearing his calf in the prelim and the “worst tasting beer in history”, to being back in the home gym at 6.30am the Monday after the Lions won the Premiership and already preparing for 2026, Pendles opens up like never before.

There’s honest insight into contract talks, the grind of pre-season, injury setbacks, watching helplessly from home, and the mindset that has driven one of the game’s greatest careers. Raw, reflective and relentlessly driven, this is the setup to the record chase.

It's all building toward one moment: Game 433.
