AFL great to join 7NEWS team
AFL and Collingwood great Scott Pendlebury is the latest off-kilter hire for the 7NEWS team, as he joins Melbourne’s sport team for the remainder of the 2024 AFL Finals series.
Pendlebury will deliver opinions and analysis on the finals series for the 7NEWS Melbourne team, and will also feature in Seven’s AFL Grand Final coverage on September 28, across Channel 7 and 7plus.
“I am really looking forward to joining the 7NEWS sports team for the AFL’s Preliminary and Grand Final weeks,” Pendlebury said.

“The month of September is undoubtedly the best period in the AFL calendar. We have never seen a tighter competition and there will be a lot to discuss across the three upcoming games.
“To reach ultimate success a lot needs to go in your favour, every moment matters. I can’t wait to see where it lands this season.”
7NEWS Melbourne’s Director of News, Chris Salter, said: “Scott has got an incredible football brain, and we know our viewers will appreciate his insights.
“He’s won two flags, a Norm Smith, and was on the podium just 12 months ago – if there’s anyone qualified to talk about September, it’s Pendles.”
Pendlebury will make his debut on 7NEWS Melbourne tonight, live at 6.00pm.
