Steele Sidebottom’s career is set to stretch into a 17th AFL season, meaning all nine of Collingwood’s 30-and-over players are slated to continue in 2025.
Collingwood’s two-time premiership great Steele Sidebottom is poised to play on in 2025, with the Magpies in discussions with his management over a new deal.
The decision to offer Sidebottom a contract – which will see his career stretch into a 17th AFL season – means all nine of Collingwood’s 30-and-over players are slated to continue playing in 2025.Talks have started between Collingwood and Sidebottom’s management on a one-year deal, according to a source with knowledge of the discussions who spoke on the condition of anonymity.
Vice captain Jeremy Howe, another veteran who entered 2024 without a contract, triggered a contract extension by playing against the Swans last Friday in his 250th game.Collingwood are also in negotiations over a 2025 contract for the versatile Will Hoskin-Elliott, 30, who has had one of his best seasons this year playing a mix of roles at both ends and on the wing.
Veterans Jack Crisp , Jamie Elliott , Mason Cox , Brody Mihocek and Tom Mitchell , all have contracts for 2025 and would play next year, barring any unexpected developments.
Collingwood have one of the largest contingent of 30-plus players in the competition. Geelong have 11 players who are 30 or older, while the Tigers have 10 on the list in that category. The Collingwood hierarchy has indicated that they will rely on a mix of drafting, free agency and trading over the next few years and will not be as pure in sticking to the national draft as some clubs.
