Collingwood captain Scott Pendlebury is bullish about their prospects, despite some tough circumstances, and says they should aim for next years AFL premiership.The Magpies missed the finals this season for the third-straight year and coach Nathan Buckley has conceded next year is make-or-break for his tenure.Adding to the pressure that always surrounds Collingwood, it has been a dramatic off-season for their football department.Football manager Neil Balme left for Richmond and replacement Graeme Allan resigned after he received a 12-month AFL ban for his part in the Lachie Whitfield saga.But Pendlebury said the Magpies must keep aiming big.Ive had it for 11 years that Ive played here - its always finals or bust, he saidAny club that sits there and says its not, I dont know what theyre playing for.He also backed interim football manager Marcus Wagner, who joined Collingwood at the same time as Pendlebury.It all happened over the off-season, so since weve come back Marcus Wagner has done a terrific job of explaining the whole program, how its going to look for us, Pendlebury said.Its really been business as usual for us and I think most of the guys would probably say the same thing.Were just looking forward to getting stuck in and we trust Marcus in the job for now, that hes going to get it all done.Pendlebury is excited by the arrival of Daniel Wells, noting what he did to Collingwood late in the season while playing for North Melbourne.We needed to win that game on a Friday night, we all thought he was going to pull out sick and he came out and had 15 touches in the first quarter, he said.He basically took finals away from us, so its great to have him on our side.Collingwood also recruited Chris Mayne from Fremantle.I dont think weve seen the best footy he has to offer and hopefully we can bring that out here, he said.
