The mind games. The pressure. The expectations—external and internal. The mentality. It's another key part to twenty seasons at the top. Pendles opens up on his mental blueprint: from setting a simple goal of playing ten games in year one to breaking superstitions along the way. He reveals how he’s handled the media and social media noise across his career. Plus, a pre-season trip to the Gold Coast for match simulation as the season creeps closer. This is next-level insight from a generational great. ** Collingwood is also welcoming fans into their inner sanctum during the 2025 AFL pre-season through their new docuseries, 'The Grind'. The Grind is now live and available to watch on the Collingwood Football Club YouTube channel. ** If you have arrived at episode seven, head back to the beginning to hear the full journey.
