Bio
A highly rated junior leader who captained Western Australia at U18 level, Luke Webster was drafted by Fremantle via the 2001 Rookie Draft but became one of the league's most unfortunate tales of injury. His career was defined by immense resilience rather than continuity, as he battled through four separate anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstructions that severely restricted his output. When fit, Webster was a hard-at-it utility who could operate in defence or the midfield, showing enough quality to play in Fremantle's maiden finals series in 2003 and win a Simpson Medal for the WAFL state side. Despite undergoing radical LARS surgery in a final bid to save his career, his body ultimately forced him into retirement in 2008, leaving him as a widely respected "what could have been" figure who seamlessly transitioned into coaching.
