Player Watch Oscar Steene

[anshell]

Just awful news for the the young man.And he was playing so well too,his form has been the good news story of the year,now it’s the bad news story of the year.

 

[TradeDraft]

Is there anyone else out there TD? We’re in a bit of a pickle.

Not Sure as need to find one in the next 10 Days

 

[danielnajdek]

Commiserations if the worst is confirmed, very fun player to watch.

Unfortunately we've had a few ACL's to our younger players the last couple of years.

 

[pablo disco bar]

Bloody hell

 

[TradeDraft]

Heartbreaking for the kid. Doesn't deserve it. Has been a revelation this year.
But he'll bounce back.

Well might not see him back at AFL Level until 2nd Half of 2027 or even 2028 Sadly

he isnt missing the entire 2027 season as long as his recovery goes well.
next april-may at the latest.

Well then still have to get Game Fitness Back and would need a Good Chunk of VFL Game Time to be AFL Ready

He could come in late in the Season but also trying to be Realistic

Gutted terrible news for the young guy. It is such a long and hard journey to overcome.
Fingers crossed for mid 2027

I hope he doesn't lose that leap.

 

[DWil6]

Bigger disappointment than losing the game was Steene’s potential ACL. We have very few young talented guys and he was shaping to be one. This will be a setback for us and him.
As a shorter ruckman, that leap is his one wood.

That looked like a real bad one. Not just a buckle but buckled sideways.

Shattering news for him after he spent so many years to get to this level... hope he gets back soon.

 

[PieBeast]

Looked bad straight away when it happened.
He has time on his side so he'll bounce back but why in the actual **** this has to happen to our brightest young prospect.
Gutted.

 

[satty]

Don't think we will see him until mid season next year. They will definitely take their time with him.

Will miss seeing his ruckwork in the middle.

Gutted.

Wish it wasn't so but maybe Oscar and Reef can work and help, motivate each other in rehab

 

[granniewolf]

Feel so bad for Oscar, just as he started living his dream.
Such rotten luck for him after already losing a year with injury
Can't even imagine how he must be feeling.
As NMBB said, he and Reef will be able to work and support each other throughout the recovery journey.

 

[jimmy35]

**** it. Gutted for the young bloke. One of our few emerging stars.

 

[gouki88]

Spewing for Steene.

Interesting play from Grundy to push him into a pack

What a weird post. Nothing interesting about it at all, happens at every single marking contest. Shit happens

[soreplums]

I take it the the ACL is confirmed?

 

[manicpie]

I take it the the ACL is confirmed?

Probably having scans as we speak

 

[ThePhantom777]

Did a big ruck load, in the wet against a more experienced and stronger Grundy contribute to it happening or just bad luck?

It was bad luck. Grundy pushed him off balance and his body went one way and his leg the other. Grundy didn't do anything wrong btw

Bloody sucks for him and the club. It was his first game playing majority ruck minutes, he looked fatigued at times. Yeah I didn't think Grundy did anything wrong either.

 

[Jen2310]

on the upside (as much as we can find one) in this time during recovery, he'll come back physically stronger.
