Collingwood star Jordan De Goey has emphatically shut down growing rumours linking him with a possible move away from the Magpies, insisting he remains fully committed to the black and white. Amid swirling media speculation and off-season chatter suggesting rival clubs were circling, De Goey’s message was crystal clear: he’s not going anywhere.
Speaking earlier today, the explosive midfielder-forward addressed the speculation head-on, labeling it “complete nonsense.” “I love this club, I love the boys, and I’m proud of what we’ve built here,” De Goey said. “Every year people want to talk trades and moves, but I’ve made it clear — my heart’s at Collingwood.”
The comments come as a major relief to Magpies fans, many of whom feared another high-profile departure following a turbulent few years of contract negotiations and player turnover. De Goey, one of the AFL’s most dynamic and polarizing figures, enjoyed one of his most consistent seasons in 2025, reaffirming his status as a game-changer in big moments.
Club insiders confirm that Collingwood never entertained trade discussions involving the 29-year-old, describing him as “untouchable.” Sources close to the leadership group added that De Goey has matured both on and off the field, taking a larger role in mentoring younger teammates and driving standards within the club’s culture.
His statement also serves as a defiant reminder of the unity within Craig McRae’s side. After back-to-back finals campaigns and a growing sense of unfinished business, Collingwood appears laser-focused on returning to premiership contention — with De Goey right at the heart of that mission.
Rival clubs, including St Kilda and Sydney, were rumoured to have shown interest, but any hopes of prying the midfielder away have now been crushed. “He’s a Magpie through and through,” one teammate said. “The noise never stops around Jordy, but he just keeps fronting up and performing.”
As trade week continues to produce shocks across the AFL landscape, De Goey’s firm declaration provides stability and confidence for Collingwood’s faithful. In an era when player movement dominates headlines, his loyalty stands out as a powerful statement.
For the Magpies, that’s not just good news — it’s a declaration of intent.
Jordan De Goey isn’t leaving.
Not this year.
Not happening.
