The Collingwood captain is a man of many parts, but for the next month, he’s the figurehead of the biggest club in the land at the peak of the AFL season.
Recently, Collingwood captain and newly re-anointed All-Australian Darcy Moore found himself speaking Indonesian again.
His favourite, he says, is reading. He has just finished a biography of Alexander McQueen, the maverick British fashion designer who died by suicide at 40, and, aptly, a book calledby David Epstein. Over many years, his reading list has been, to say the least, eclectic. He says he has three or four books on the go at any one time. “I’m always trying to learn more. I’m a bit of a sponge in that sense,” he said.
Moore said his mother’s father had fought in Papua New Guinea during World War II and she, Jane, still wore his medals on Anzac Day. He had read widely about its meaning in the week before the match and meditated on Collingwood’s visit to the Shrine of Remembrance, and then on match morning was struck by headlines from the royal commission on veteran suicides. “I just felt that in the position I had, I had something to say, to speak to those people and make them feel seen,” he said.
