The offer from the Demons, considered one of the largest in Australian sports history, included a record-breaking salary, significant endorsement opportunities, and prominent leadership roles. Despite the financial temptation, Moore remained committed to the Magpies, signaling his desire to finish his AFL career with the club that nurtured him.
“I’m not leaving Collingwood,” Moore said. “This club has given me everything, and I want to give everything I’ve got in return. The legacy we’re building here is something I want to be part of for the rest of my playing days.”
Collingwood’s leadership expressed pride in Moore’s decision, highlighting his influence both on and off the field. CEO Craig Kelly remarked, “Darcy embodies everything we want Collingwood to stand for—on-field excellence, off-field integrity, and a commitment to our values.”
With Moore’s future secured, Collingwood supporters can anticipate continued leadership and performance from their captain as the club builds toward sustained success in the coming seasons.
