Scott Pendlebury could be suspended for the first time his career if he comes under scrutiny for an off the ball hit on Lachie Neale in Collingwood’s win over Brisbane on Thursday night.

Collingwood veteran Scott Pendlebury is set to come under scrutiny after he lashed out in a rare act of aggression against Brisbane.

But Collingwood’s night be soured by an incident late in the third quarter. Pendlebury whacked Neale in the ribs with an open hand, forcing the Lions skipper to double over in pain.“I wonder what happens there.
