Stats
Bio
Recruited from the Geelong High School Old Boys, Ron Sceney was a local forward who made a brief but promising cameo for the Cats during the tumultuous 1940 season. He wasted little time impacting the scoreboard at VFL level, booting three goals across his two senior appearances to suggest he had the makings of a dangerous attacking option. However, Sceney’s burgeoning career was effectively ended by the Second World War, as he enlisted in the Australian Army and did not return to league football following his service. His short stint stands as a poignant example of the sporting potential sacrificed by the generation of the 1940s, leaving him with an impressive strike rate but an unfulfilled legacy at Kardinia Park.
