Breaking: Curtis Taylor Set to Leave the Magpies After Just Two Months at the Club
In a surprising turn of events, Curtis Taylor is set to leave the Collingwood Magpies after just two months at the club. The former North Melbourne forward joined Collingwood in December 2024 for the 2025 VFL season, but his time at the Magpies has been marred by unexpected circumstances.
Taylor, who played 76 AFL games with North Melbourne, was brought in to bolster the club’s VFL squad and provide depth for the senior AFL team. However, sources close to the club reveal that Taylor has encountered personal and professional challenges that have made it difficult for him to settle into his new role. Despite being a key signing for Collingwood, his departure is set to shake the VFL setup and leave many wondering about the future direction of the team.
The 24-year-old’s initial excitement about joining the Magpies has quickly turned into disappointment. Early reports suggested that he struggled to adjust to the club’s playing style and culture, and there were concerns about his fitness and readiness for the upcoming season. Despite these setbacks, the Magpies had expressed optimism about Taylor’s potential contributions, particularly given his experience at the AFL level.
The reasons for his departure remain unclear, but insiders suggest that Taylor’s personal goals and ambitions may no longer align with Collingwood’s vision for the future. With the AFL season fast approaching, the Magpies will now have to reassess their VFL plans and potentially search for a replacement for the talented forward.
Curtis Taylor’s brief time at Collingwood serves as a reminder of the unpredictability of professional football, with players often facing challenges both on and off the field. His departure leaves a significant hole in the VFL squad, and fans are left wondering about what comes next for both the player and the club.
