Collingwood wingman Chris Mayne wants to play beyond the length of his current contract and continue one of the great modern football comeback stories into the next decade.

As he gears up for his second consecutive preliminary final after another consistent season for the Magpies, Mayne, who turns 31 in November, says he has plenty in the tank and wants to keep playing as long as possible before beginning a coaching career.

Currently contracted for 2020, he has played 20 games this season to follow on from 21 in 2018, when he was one of Collingwood's better players throughout September and the grand final.

It was a remarkable career revival given he played just three games in his first season with the club after crossing from the Dockers on a four-year deal. Mayne had been languishing in the VFL, his future in the game uncertain.
