The 2005 season saw Prendergast play just 13 games but there was an early high as he was part of the club's preseason premiership win over [[West Coast Eagles|West Coast]]. Perhaps his most memorable moment in a Carlton guernsey came in this game as he booted a nine-point super goal in the final quarter to effectively seal the win for the Blues. They ran out 27 point winners.
