I would be surprised if Reece ever played AFL senior footy again.

Is the injury that severe ?

If he needs surgery, it indicates it is severe. Any surgery on the midfoot for a Lisfranc injury in a game called football is bad news. The only thing on his side is that he is still relatively young but he'll need a lot of rehab. It is an injury that has ended a few players careers.
OER. Calling it as it is since 2004.

I already mentioned a few players careers it ended when the injury came to light, said the initial 3(?) weeks was most likely a lie
