Darcy Moore out for the rest of the regular season after injuring hamstring

Collingwood has confirmed Darcy Moore will miss the rest of the home-and-away season after being subbed out of Friday night’s eight-point win over Geelong.

Moore left the field with hamstring tightness early in the Magpies’ 16.13 (109) to 15.11(101) triumph over the defending premiers at the MCG.

The club on Saturday confirmed Moore had a low-grade hamstring strain and would aim to return for the first week of the finals, which start September 7.

“It’s not major,” coach Craig McRae said of Moore’s injury after the match.

“My understanding is that he’s tight … we have to wait until the scans show what the damage is.”

Moore joins Nick Daicos on the Magpies’ injury list.

Daicos is out for up to six weeks with a knee injury after the Magpies’ shock defeat to Hawthorn last weekend.

Jack Ginnivan (10 disposals, three goal assists) injected much-needed energy into Friday night’s match as Moore’s sub.

It was Ginnivan’s first appearance since being dropped because of poor form ahead of the Magpies’ clash with the Sydney Swans in round 12.

“Tonight, he [Ginnivan] certainly showed everyone that at his best he is well and truly in our team,” McRae said.
