Injury concerns won't stop Magpies taking risks: coach
Collingwood faces a defensive reshuffle after skipper Darcy Moore's hamstring strain and knee inflammation sidelines him for 3-4 weeks during critical April matches.
- On Sunday, Collingwood confirmed Captain Darcy Moore will miss three to four weeks after scans revealed a low-grade hamstring strain and an inflamed bursa behind his knee.
- Playing his first game of the year following a pre-season calf injury, Moore was injured while kicking in the first quarter of Friday's win over GWS and played out the match.
- Coach Craig McRae admitted Moore was "not right" during the match, noting the defender's return had been cautiously managed after staff monitored him for "hamstring awareness" about 10 to 12 days prior.
- Collingwood football boss Charlie Gardiner stated the club is "obviously disappointed for Darcy" as the Magpies face a string of April blockbusters with Billy Frampton as the only established key defender available.
- Moore will miss the Thursday-night clash against Brisbane at the Gabba, plus games versus Fremantle and Carlton, while facing a race against time to return for the Anzac Day match against Essendon.
