Collingwood’s Head Coach, Craig McRae, has confirmed a major boost for the Magpies as the club prepares for the upcoming AFL season. Speaking at a press conference earlier today, McRae proudly announced the return of key player Jordan De Goey, whose absence last year had left a significant gap in the team’s midfield and forward structure.
De Goey, known for his explosive pace, skillful ball-handling, and game-breaking ability, has been working tirelessly to overcome injury setbacks. McRae expressed his excitement about the 26-year-old’s return, describing it as a pivotal moment for both the club and the player himself.
“Jordan has worked incredibly hard during the off-season and has come back in great shape,” McRae said. “We’ve seen glimpses of his potential in training, and we’re confident he’s ready to make a huge impact this season. His return adds another layer of depth to our midfield and forward line, and we’re all excited to see what he can bring.”
De Goey’s presence on the field will certainly bolster Collingwood’s chances as they aim for a deep run in the finals. The dynamic midfielder’s ability to break the lines and impact games in crucial moments has been sorely missed, but with his fitness and form on track, he is expected to play a major role in the team’s success this year.
McRae, who has guided Collingwood to impressive performances since taking the reins, also noted that De Goey’s return is a testament to the club’s commitment to supporting players through both challenges and triumphs. With the 2024 AFL season fast approaching, De Goey’s comeback is one of the most eagerly anticipated storylines for the Magpies.
