AFL: Steele Sidebottom has told Fox Footy he will be staying put at Collingwood next year.
Collingwood coach Craig McRae said his team will be watching this year’s finals series with “a sick feeling in our guts” after completing an inconsistent season that will almost certainly see them finish outside the top eight.
All of that means the Magpies will more than likely become the third reigning premier in four years to miss out on September footy, despite winning four of their last five matches and losing just one game between Rounds 3 and 14. “I haven’t looked at the live ladder, but I can imagine that we’re only a couple of games off second, are we? Third? I’m not sure,” he said."Will not be traded in any circumstance" | 01:21
