Collingwood advises captain Darcy Moore sustained a hamstring injury at training on Tuesday which requires surgery and rules him out for the remainder of the 2026 AFL season.

Executive General Manager of Football Charlie Gardiner said:

"Darcy has unfortunately sustained a hamstring injury in the same right leg as his previous injury, which is incredibly disappointing for both Darcy and the Club.

"Darcy will undergo surgery before commencing his rehabilitation program, with the goal of being ready for the start of pre-season.

"Although Darcy has had a challenging year individually and won’t play again this season, he'll continue to play an important leadership role, driving performance and supporting our players and coaches over the coming weeks."

Darcy Moore said:

"I'm disappointed to be missing the remainder of the season after what's already been a challenging year for me personally, not being able to consistently get out on the field and contribute to the team.

"While I'm gutted that my 2026 season has come to an early end, I'll continue working closely with our high-performance team and put everything into my rehabilitation to ensure I'm ready for the start of pre-season."

“I also want to thank the fans in the Magpie Army for their support and well wishes over this time. Injuries are never easy but having the passionate support of so many of you makes the recovery and return much easier.”
