Collingwood have put a line through Darcy Moore’s season after the premiership captain suffered a fresh hamstring injury on Tuesday.
The 30-year-old has had a stop-start campaign with multiple soft-tissue injuries and a concussion.
He will now head in for surgery on his right leg with the hope of attacking a full pre-season later this year.

“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,” Moore said in a club statement.
“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.”
Pies football boss Charlie Gardiner confirmed Moore would play a role off the field.
“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.”
