Early life

Celine is the daughter of Peter Moody,[1] who trained the racehorse Black Caviar.[2] She has a twin sister, Breann Moody, who plays in the AFLW for Carlton. Both attended St Margaret's School, where they played football together. Throughout her junior career Moody usually played as a defender.[1] She trained as an information systems technician for the Australian Army[1] and took a four-year break from football.[3] On her return in 2018, Moody joined Carlton's VFL Women's side. She played 12 games, mostly as a forward and ruckwoman,[3] wearing number 36.[4]
