Magpies ruckman Oscar Steene has suffered an ACL injury during a nasty landing in the third term of last night’s loss to Sydney.
Magpies football general manager Charlie Gardiner said Steene would throw himself into his recovery.

“Oscar has worked extremely hard over the past few years to overcome injuries and get his opportunity at AFL level, so we are all incredibly disappointed for him,” Gardiner said.
“Since debuting earlier this year, Oscar has been an exciting addition to the team with his athleticism and competitiveness, suggesting he has a bright future ahead.
“This is an unfortunate setback for Oscar which we’ll support him through but he is a resilient and determined young guy who we know will put everything into his recovery.”
