Overview
- Collingwood confirmed that Moore re‑injured his right hamstring in training on Tuesday and will miss the remainder of the 2026 AFL season.
- The 30-year-old will undergo surgery on the injured hamstring and begin a staged rehabilitation program designed to have him ready for the start of next pre-season.
- Moore has played just four matches this year and had earlier hamstring trouble on May 23 plus treatment for an inflamed knee bursa and consultations with specialists in the United States.
- Club football boss Charlie Gardiner said Moore will keep contributing to team performance in a leadership capacity while other senior players such as Jamie Elliott, Reef McInnes and Oscar Steene also remain sidelined for the season.
- The immediate squad impact includes Brayden Maynard returning to selection for the Gold Coast match and Isaac Quaynor unavailable this week, leaving Collingwood to adjust defensive depth as finals hopes are tested.
