Veteran Scott Pendlebury will line up for a record-breaking 433rd AFL match, overtaking former North Melbourne great Brent Harvey as the V/AFL games record holder.

Captain Darcy Moore and midfielder Patrick Lipinski return against the Eagles following their concussions that kept them sidelined for last week’s clash with the Swans.
Ruck Darcy Cameron will also come back into the team after missing the Sydney clash with an ankle issue.
Midfielder Angus Anderson, forward Jack Buller and defender Wil Parker have all been omitted for the clash.
Ruck Oscar Steene will also miss after the 22-year-old sustained an ACL injury in the third quarter of last week’s match.
Defender Dan Houston will line-up for his 200th AFL game, with 168 of those in Port Adelaide colours before his move to Collingwood ahead of the 2025 season.
Veterans Steele Sidebottom and Jamie Elliott are set to play their 200th game as teammates.
Anderson, Buller and midfielder Sam Swadling will be the emergencies for Friday night’s clash.
Following his second match last week where he kicked a goal and took four marks, young forward Charlie West has retained his position.
