Collingwood champion Scott Pendlebury has fired back at suggestions the Pies will be too old next season.
The Magpies fell short of the finals this year in a shocking fall from grace after winning the premiership in 2023.
Collingwood head into next year with the oldest list in the competition and a host of question marks surrounding their list, which includes 10 players aged over 30.
In a busy trade period, they added more experience with the acquisitions of Dan Houston and Harry Perryman, while veteran forward Tim Membrey will officially join in the coming days as well.
With no draft picks inside the top 50, the Pies are once again going all-in on a flag in 2025.
Pendlebury will be 37 by the time next season rolls around, but don’t try and tell him they are too old to challenge for the flag.
“As a club, you want to be going all in, don’t you?” Pendlebury told 7NEWS at a Hemisphere Management charity golf day.
“You want to be going for the flag and as I said, we’re an experienced list and we’ve got a group that knows what to do.”
