Surprised to read in this article that Steele has signed for a further 2 years. Good for him and based on his form this year it’s probably a good move. Hopefully he’s not more than $400,000 per season to help ease our salary cap problems?
Has easily earned himself another year’s contract. Playing like a 20 year old. Has reinvented the old fashioned wingman, who just stays out in the space on the outer side and when it comes out there he is there. Such a smart footballer, whose smarts compensate for the drop off of pace and reaction time, which claims every footballer his age. 300 games for Steele Sidebottom next year will be well deserved. If he was taking the spot of a young guy I’d be the first to call him out but he’s had his best season for several years. A Collingwood legend in the making.

He already has a 3-year deal to 2025. Don’t worry about it. He remains our second-best player and since he’s always been as slow as a coach, he’s not going to drop off as he loses pace, like most do. With a bit of luck, given his extraordinary fitness and, as tonight’s final quarter showed, mental strength, he’s a fair chance of being the first AFL player to reach 500 games. He could yet be the first 45 year old wingman in the AFL.
There have been so many brilliant memories from this season, but one of them will be the resurrection of Steele Sidebottom after he looked almost cooked in the last few. He was huge today and did a lot of keep us alight when the flame was burning low.

Totally, he was old school hardcore today. Shattered for him and SP.
His second half of 2022 was instrumental in our general resurgence.
