Collingwood defender Darcy Moore trained strongly on Friday night as he pushed to convince selectors he was free of the hamstring problem that forced him from the ground in round 23 against Essendon.

Although scans showed no sign of an issue, Moore's soft-tissue problems ensured he was watched closely in training as he prepared for the qualifying final against Geelong next Friday night.

Moore, 23, was the last player to appear on the track during the session conducted under lights at the Holden Centre but he participated in all drills at high intensity under the watchful eye of Magpies coach Nathan Buckley.

Moore did not play in last year's finals after having hamstring problems in round 20 but he shapes as a key component of Collingwood's premiership tilt with Geelong, Richmond and West Coast having two tall key forwards.
