Geelong Cats forward Tyson Stengle was recently involved in a concerning incident at a Geelong nightclub. In the early hours of Sunday morning, Stengle was found unresponsive and subsequently rushed to University Geelong Hospital in a serious condition. The incident occurred shortly after Stengle had returned from a match in Tasmania, where he had played a significant role in Geelong’s victory over North Melbourne, kicking three goals.
Stengle’s condition has since stabilized, and he has been seen participating in light training with the team. The club has issued a statement acknowledging the incident, emphasizing that Stengle’s well-being is their primary concern. It remains unclear whether Stengle will be available for the upcoming match against Adelaide.
This incident comes at a time when Stengle is in the spotlight for his on-field performances. He recently signed a five-year contract extension with Geelong, committing to the club until the end of 2029. Stengle has been a standout player this season, leading all small forwards in goals scored, and is a contender for the All-Australian team once again.
The club and fans are relieved that Stengle is recovering, and they are hopeful that he can return to full fitness soon​.
