Teenage ruckman wins Collingwood’s final list spot

2023-02-06T12:05+11:00

Collingwood has filled its final list spot with ruckman Oscar Steene joining the club as a pre-season supplemental selection.

Steene, 19, has been training at the AIA Centre since November and joins the rookie list after impressing across the pre-season.

The 201cm prospect received the news from coach Craig McRae on Monday morning and GM of football Graham Wright says Steene could play a key role as soon as this year.

“Oscar filled a position of need and has fitted into our environment seamlessly,” Wright said via a statement.

“He has shown a good ability to learn and improve his craft, and his self-development is getting better day-by-day.

“We believe Oscar could play a key role in our AFL program this year and into the future.”

The big man beat out the likes of former Richmond and Gold Coast defender Oleg Markov and Calder Cannons product Rye Penny to the final list position.
