Collingwood veteran Steele Sidebottom hasn’t ruled out playing on again next year if the club wants him, but says he is more focused on the Magpies’ 2026 aspirations rather than his own future. Sidebottom, 35, will play game 361 on Thursday night against Hawthorn – 16th on the AFL games record tally – but he could push into the top 10 by the end of this season if he remains injury-free and plays finals.
