more In a stunning turn of events, Collingwood captain Darcy Moore has made a shock return to training, defying initial expectations that he would be sidelined for an extended period. The 27-year-old defender had been struggling with a lingering hamstring injury that had kept him out of action for several weeks.

Moore’s unexpected return to training has sent shockwaves throughout the AFL community, with many experts predicting that he would not be fit to play until well into the new season. However, the Collingwood captain has proven his doubters wrong, making a remarkable recovery that has allowed him to rejoin his teammates on the training track.

“I’m thrilled to be back out on the training track,” Moore said in a statement. “It’s been a tough few weeks, but I’ve worked hard with the medical team to get my body right. I’m feeling good, and I’m excited to start building towards the new season.”

Moore’s return to training is a massive boost for the Magpies, who are looking to bounce back from a disappointing 2023 season. The club has undergone significant changes during the off-season, with several key players departing and new recruits arriving.

“Darcy’s return to training is a huge positive for us,” said Collingwood coach, Craig McRae. “He’s a vital part of our team, and his leadership and experience will be invaluable as we build towards the new season. We’re excited to have him back out on the track, and we’re looking forward to seeing him back in action soon.”

Moore’s shock return to training has also sparked speculation about his potential return to the playing field. While the club has not put a definitive timeline on his return, many experts believe that he could be back in action as early as the pre-season.

“Darcy’s a professional, and he’ll do everything he can to get back on the field as soon as possible,” said AFL commentator, Matthew Lloyd. “If he can get through the pre-season without any setbacks, I wouldn’t be surprised to see him back in the starting lineup for the opening round of the season.”

As Moore continues to work his way back to full fitness, the AFL community will be watching with bated breath. Can the Collingwood captain make a successful return to the playing field, or will his injury woes continue to plague him? Only time will tell.
