DARCY Moore's season is finished after he injured his right hamstring in the second quarter of Collingwood's Saturday night match against Gold Coast.
Moore hurt himself while attempting a mark and was seen wearing ice on his hamstring in the rooms at half-time, and did not return to the interchange bench to start the second half. He eventually appeared in a tracksuit top on the sidelines in the final quarter.
Pies coach Nathan Buckley said after the game that Moore had proven himself fit to face the Suns after he had hurt the same muscle in round 19, but that he wouldn't play against Hawthorn in round 23.
"He's nicked his hammy again, so he won't play next week," Buckley said.
"He was a little bit sore when he came off against West Coast and he missed the second half, and he missed the next game against Richmond.
"He did everything right, ticked all the boxes, and we got him back up. There's a bit of strengthening to be done there and we wanted to win as many games as we could."
The injury opens the door for Travis Cloke to prove himself in the senior team, after the 29-year-old booted four goals in the VFL.
That effort came on the back of five goals in the reserves last week for Cloke.
