Jimmy Bartel has joined in on the Scott Pendlebury tributes ahead of the Collingwood midfielder’s 400th game this weekend.

Bartel wishes Pendlebury took up basketball, which has been mentioned a lot throughout his 399-game career by the media, but said he made the right choice playing footy!

“He is just all class,” Bartel said.
