Here comes the pain of pre-season. A sore knee that won’t quit. Hard training when the body says no.

The cameras see the athlete. The crowd sees the champion. But what about the dad, the husband and the mate?

Pendles takes the kids to work, offering a rare glimpse into the balance between footy and family at Collingwood. Meanwhile, Howie flips the script—turning to Alex, Pendles' wife, for the real story on sacrifice, commitment, and the emotional toll of 20 years at the top.

Grinding through pain. Soaking up family time. This is the other side of the game like you might not have never heard.

Pendlebury: Beyond 400 continues.

Hear from Mick Malthouse, Nathan Buckley and Craig McRae as they help take us inside Scott Pendlebury's twenty year pursuit. 

From Mick Malthouse’s old-school grit to Nathan Buckley’s tactical precision to Craig McRae’s modern approach—Scott Pendlebury has lived through a change in the pre-season approach. He takes us on a journey behind the science, the strategy and the sheer brutality of AFL pre-seasons.

High-altitude camps that pushed bodies to the edge. The shifting demands of the game. The way preparation has transformed—and the toll it still takes.

This episode isn’t just a history lesson. It’s a front-row seat to two decades of relentless evolution, told by the men who have watched it all. 

20-years. Three coaches. A game that has never stopped evolving.

Pendlebury: Beyond 400 continues.

Christmas isn’t an off-season—it’s just another checkpoint in the pursuit of greatness.

Pendles takes us inside the mental game. The lessons from Paul Licuria. The art of pushing yourself beyond comfort. Learning to enjoy the hurt. Plus his Christmas discipline.

And, one last brutal leg session at 6AM before heading to Bali with the family. A run in the heat on arrival. 

The break - if you even call it that - is short-lived. A bout of Bali belly on return, and the focus sharpens—dialling in on nutrition, training, and even watching Fox Footy in the background, feeling the season closing in.

Time to lock in.

It’s Saturday morning, and the grind doesn’t stop. It's professional athlete insights like you have never heard before. 10K on the trails, lungs burning, legs heavy—then straight into hill sprints. The body’s screaming, fighting back the saliva, but Pendles pushes through. No shortcuts, no excuses.

Then? Flip the schedule. Straight from elite-level training to coaching the under-9s. Remember that basketball background? Then, we dive deep into the flow of match play, tackling drills, and the arrival of Perryman at the Pies.

Plus, a rare glimpse into the human side of the grind—shuffling sessions to make the kids Christmas concert, wrapping up the school year with family. And then there’s the Christmas present nobody asked for: The fitness staff’s gift—a monster session designed to break even the fittest.

Plus, ice baths, saunas, and survival mode.

This is the reality of defying time in the AFL.

Welcome to a new kind of sport storytelling. Scott Pendlebury’s pre-season diary.

The journey begins for a 20th year, and the insights will blow your mind. Pendlebury: Beyond 400 isn’t just about footy—it’s about what it takes to keep pushing when most would tap out.

The mini series, brought to you by the Howie Games, starts with Pendles’ return to work butterfly’s before the grind begins. First touches, first steps into year 20—yet still, the nerves are there. Disrupted sleep. Ups and downs. The pre-season battle is real, even for a champion of the game.

The reality of another gruelling season sets in. And it is all documented with this new Pendlebury project. Beyond 400. A truly revolutionary pre-season audio diary.

From skills sessions to Coffee Club with Steele Sidebottom, from exhaustion to recalibration, Pendlebury: Beyond 400 kicks off with an unfiltered deep dive into what it means to defy time in the AFL.
