A shattered Sharp phoned Murray hours after suffering a suspected torn anterior cruciate ligament in Victoria Country’s under-19 win over VAFA in Melbourne on Sunday.

He is waiting for scans but fears the worst.

“It’s pretty disappointing,” Sharp said.

“I was talking to Muzz (Brad Murray) on Sunday night and that was one of the things that hurt the most.

“We have worked so hard.

“I won’t be a part of it but I’m sure the boys will be fine.

“I’ll back them in.

“They will be alright.”

Sharp and his brother Ryley have been strong contributors in Myrtleford’s resurgence in the Ovens and Murray this season.

Their other brother, Jake, has also recently been ruled out for the season with VFL club Werribee.

Jake had only just returned from a serious knee injury when he tore his lateral ligament and fractured a tibia.

“Jake’s season is gone too,” he said.

“We are both lying at home at the moment sharing the ice machine with each other.”

Sharp went down in the third quarter of Sunday’s 44-point win over VAFA and immediately feared the worst.

“I have had a second opinion and she thought it was the ACL as well,” he said.

“I’ve organised scans and will just wait and see.

”I was brought down in a tackle, it got caught in the ground and someone came across me.

“The rest is history.”

It was a weekend of high drama for Victoria Country’s under-19s with North Albury youngster Dom Brew being involved in a car accident in Melbourne on Saturday.

He escaped uninjured and went on to star in the victory the following day.

Myrtleford is fifth on the ladder and can virtually guarantee itself finals action by defeating Lavington at Lavington Oval on Saturday.
