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.
