Player Watch Oscar Steene

[Ctracks]

Oscar is 202cm?
His leaping ability at ruck or deep forward means he is 2 phase player.
He can create goals from his centre ruck work and from the goal square.
May be a a slow burn, but I can see him rapidly passing players from other teams that do the same. Does Ben King

All he needs is the first 10 minutes in centre ball ups at the start of each quarter, then a chop out from DC.

It will come down to match ups when DC covers for Moore or Frampton.

Ben King has essentially never rucked. He did occasionally in 2021 and has probably done so twice this season.

If Oscar develops his tank and core strength he should be a good player for a long while.

Oscar’s form has thrown a spanner in the works. Or whatever the reverse of that is. Because he helps us win clearances. For that reason alone he’s a unicorn. Or almost.

It seems like forever since we were winning the centre clearances. Felt like a dream in the last quarter against Carlton. And the goals came.

Anyway, what I’m trying to say, is that the rest of our season is hard to predict if Oscar keeps this up.

In a good way.

Thanks for clearing that up VP

"He's unbelievable...there's been the shift in ruck rules which suits Oscar Steene's game. An underrated side of his game is his aerial game, he went forward and kicked two goals and took bug clunks," Nick Daicos said on AFL 360.


On multiple occasions across his early games, Steene has been used at centre ball-ups to utilise his natural athleticism, with the youngster having the best vertical leap at the Magpies.


He then rotates forward with Darcy Cameron, allowing his more seasoned teammate to utilise his combativeness at stoppages around the ground and drop back to provide an extra man in defence.


"I feel like him and Darcy Cameron are really complementing each other really well. Darcy is really good around the ground so they're doing some deals and it's been really effective for us," Daicos added.

"Unbelievable": Underrated Magpie gains praise

The four-gamer has changed the Pies’ look at centre stoppage since coming into the team.

Love the kid for his athleticism and resilience to date but as I've tried to say before, he's only played the handful of games and several of those have been against the dinosaur rucks that couldn't jump against him, he should be ok against the Bombers but then Reeves and Meek pose a real "physical threat" to such an immature body. Lets not put all our hopes on this lad just yet, DC won a B+F last year and still has a protective role to play against the "dangerous" ruck combo's across the league.

Not sure about Reeves so much but Meek is an animal I do not want Meek getting a chance to hobble Oscar that worries me .
