In a stunning development in the Australian Football League (AFL), Collingwood Football Club has confirmed that Jamie Elliott and the club have officially parted ways. The move comes after a heartbreaking comment made by Elliott regarding teammate Darcy Moore, which has sent shockwaves throughout the Collingwood fanbase and the AFL community.
Elliott, one of the club’s most prominent and talented players in recent seasons, has been a fixture in the forward line for Collingwood, providing leadership and skill. However, in a recent interview, Elliott made a remark about Moore, the team’s star defender and captain, which was reportedly seen as deeply hurtful and disrespectful. While the specific details of the comment have not been publicly disclosed, sources close to the club have indicated that it was directed at Moore’s leadership and influence within the team.
The remark has caused significant tension in the Collingwood locker room, with players and coaching staff expressing disappointment at Elliott’s words. Collingwood’s management, including head coach Craig McRae and club president Jeff Browne, were quick to address the issue in a statement that confirmed Elliott’s departure from the club.
“We are deeply disappointed by the comments made by Jamie Elliott regarding Darcy Moore,” the statement read. “As a club, we hold our players to the highest standards of respect and professionalism, both on and off the field. After careful consideration, it was determined that parting ways with Jamie was in the best interest of the club, its players, and its future.”
The comment regarding Moore, who has been a key player for Collingwood and a standout leader on the field, struck a nerve with many within the club, especially with Moore himself. The star defender has been a central figure in Collingwood’s defense and leadership structure, and the public nature of the dispute has left both players and the fanbase in disbelief.
Elliott, who has been with Collingwood for over a decade, expressed regret over the incident but acknowledged the impact of his words. “I regret my comment and deeply apologize to Darcy and the Collingwood Football Club,” Elliott said in his own statement. “I made a mistake, and I understand the consequences of my actions.

The decision to part ways with Elliott comes just weeks before the AFL season is set to begin, leaving a significant void in Collingwood’s forward line. However, the club remains focused on moving forward and putting the incident behind them as they prepare for the 2025 season.
As for Elliott, speculation about his future remains high, with several AFL clubs rumored to be interested in securing his services. However, given the nature of the departure, it remains to be seen how other teams will approach his situation.
Meanwhile, Darcy Moore, despite the controversy, has continued to demonstrate his leadership and commitment to Collingwood, with his focus remaining firmly on the team’s goals for the upcoming season.
