As the AFL finals series approaches, Collingwood fans have reason to celebrate with the announcement of return dates for several key players who have been sidelined due to injury. This timely update provides a significant boost to the Magpies, who are gearing up for an exciting and potentially triumphant end to the season.
The club has confirmed that a number of vital players will be back in action just in time for the finals, offering a much-needed reinforcement to Collingwood’s lineup.

De Goey’s dynamic playmaking ability and goal-scoring prowess will be invaluable as the Magpies look to make a strong push in the finals.
In addition to De Goey, key defender Darcy Moore is also expected to return. Moore, who has been dealing with a groin injury, is a crucial part of Collingwood’s defensive unit. His return will bring added strength and leadership to the backline, enhancing the team’s ability to contain their opponents’ attacking threats.
The return of these players has been eagerly anticipated by both the team and its supporters. The Collingwood medical and coaching staff have been working tirelessly to ensure that the players are fully fit and ready for the rigors of finals football. Intensive rehabilitation and careful monitoring have ensured that these players are poised to make a significant impact as they rejoin the team.
With the regular season having concluded on a high note, the Magpies are well-positioned to make a serious bid for the premiership. The return of De Goey and Moore comes at a perfect time, as Collingwood looks to capitalize on their strong form and advance deep into the finals.
For Collingwood fans, this news is a cause for celebration and renewed optimism. The prospect of having key players back in the lineup enhances the team’s chances and adds to the excitement surrounding the finals series. As the Magpies prepare to face off against the league’s best, the addition of these returning stars will provide a significant boost in both performance and morale.
As the finals draw near, the Collingwood faithful can look forward to seeing their team at near full strength. The combination of a strong finish to the season and the return of key players sets the stage for an exhilarating and hopeful finals campaign.
