“I feel like this group is only scratching the surface of how good it can be,” Pendlebury said.
“We started the year with not much belief and not much confidence and we got to within a kick of winning it all.
“I know we have got the players and the game style (to succeed), and I know this group will bounce back because it is what we do.”
Collingwood kicked the first five goals of the game in a stunning opening but the Eagles fought back to level the scores at three-quarter time.
The result remained in doubt until Dom Sheed kicked the matchwinner with only 90 seconds left.
