Congratulations Collingwood Captain Darcy Moore has officially been announced as the highest paid player in the AFL.
In a historic moment for Australian Rules Football, Collingwood captain Darcy Moore has officially been announced as the highest paid player in the AFL. The announcement was made earlier today, sending shockwaves through the footy world and cementing Moore’s legacy as one of the game’s modern greats.
Sources close to the club have confirmed that Moore’s new deal, reportedly valued at over \$1.5 million per season, reflects not only his elite on-field performance but also his exceptional leadership and off-field influence. The 28-year-old key defender has been a cornerstone of the Magpies’ success in recent seasons, including their triumphant 2023 premiership win. His calm composure under pressure, elite intercept marking, and strategic nous have made him one of the most respected players in the competition.
Fans and players alike have taken to social media to celebrate the announcement, with many praising Moore’s professionalism and unwavering commitment to the club. “He deserves every cent,” one supporter wrote. “A true leader and a champion both on and off the field.”
Moore, the son of Collingwood legend Peter Moore, continues to uphold his family’s legacy with grace and humility. In a brief statement, he expressed his gratitude: “It’s an incredible honour. I love this club and everything it stands for. I’m grateful to be part of something bigger than myself.”
With Moore locked in as the AFL’s top earner, the focus now shifts to how Collingwood will manage their salary cap in the coming seasons. But one thing is certain: Darcy Moore’s star continues to rise, and his impact on the game will be felt for years to come.
