Breaking News: Jordan De Goey Bids Farewell to Collingwood Fans, Teammates, and Coaches
In a stunning announcement, Jordan De Goey has officially confirmed he is parting ways with the Collingwood Football Club, bringing an end to an era of excitement, controversy, and unforgettable moments. The 27-year-old midfielder-forward posted an emotional message on social media this morning, expressing his gratitude and bidding farewell to the club, his teammates, and the passionate Magpies supporters.
De Goey’s departure marks the end of a highly decorated yet turbulent chapter in his career. Having made his debut for Collingwood in 2015, the talented and often enigmatic player quickly became one of the most talked-about figures in the AFL. Known for his explosive speed, powerful kicking, and uncanny ability to change the course of a game, De Goey’s talent was never in question. However, his time at Collingwood was often overshadowed by off-field controversies and moments of tension that sometimes placed him at odds with the club’s leadership and supporters.
In his statement, De Goey took time to thank the Collingwood family, acknowledging the highs and lows of his career. “I want to thank every one of my teammates, coaches, and staff who have supported me through my journey at Collingwood. It’s been an unforgettable experience, and I will forever be grateful for the friendships I’ve built and the opportunities I’ve had to represent such an iconic club,” De Goey wrote.
He also expressed his gratitude to the Collingwood fans, recognizing the intense passion and unwavering loyalty they have shown him, even during his most challenging moments. “The fans have been incredible, and while we’ve had our ups and downs, I’ve always felt their love and energy on and off the field. You’ve made me feel like I belong, and I’ll never forget that.”
De Goey’s departure is sure to leave a hole in the Collingwood midfield and forward lines. A dynamic and at times electrifying presence, De Goey was crucial to Collingwood’s success in recent years, including their run to the 2018 AFL Grand Final. His ability to impact games with his raw talent and athleticism made him a fan favorite, even as his career was marred by off-field distractions, including legal issues and a reputation for being difficult to manage at times.
Despite the challenges, Collingwood’s leadership group, including President Mark Korda and senior coach Craig McRae, have always spoken highly of De Goey’s commitment on the field, even if his behavior off it has raised eyebrows at times. McRae, in particular, had worked closely with De Goey to guide him through some of his most difficult moments, helping the talented midfielder focus on his football and return to form after each setback.
Although De Goey’s time at Collingwood has been filled with mixed emotions, there is no doubt that his departure will mark the end of a fascinating chapter in the club’s history. His ability to turn a game on its head with a single piece of brilliance means his legacy at the club will be remembered with admiration, even by those who may have questioned his discipline at times.
As for what’s next for De Goey, speculation is already swirling around where the talented midfielder may continue his AFL career. With his skills, experience, and undeniable talent, several clubs will likely be interested in acquiring him. However, the nature of his departure has left fans and pundits wondering what this means for his future in the AFL.
For now, De Goey’s farewell marks the end of his time at Collingwood but not the end of his football journey. Collingwood fans will no doubt reflect on his contributions to the team with a sense of nostalgia, mixed with a tinge of regret about what might have been, had things turned out differently.
