COLLINGWOOD have turned to their own with a couple of key appointments of favourite sons this week in the lead-up to the 2023 AFL Season.
Firstly they appointed renowned player-manager and former premiership player Craig Kelly to the position of CEO.
Then on Wednesday Darcy Moore, son of a former Magpie star in Peter Moore, was made captain of the most famous club in the land.
The 27-year-old Moore replaces Scott Pendlebury who decided to hand over the reins after a club-record 206 games in that position.
“The Collingwood captaincy is significant in its own right but it also holds another layer of significance for my family and I,” Moore said.
“To follow my father’s journey as captain of the Collingwood football club at almost the same stage in his football journey is very special.”
