Coach Ben Price said Hare sustained the injury in a tackle.
The Cats mentor said the versatile player also broke his collarbone during pre-season.
Price said it was devastating because it was in the final quarter of the final match of the season.
Hare only played six matches this season after recovering from the original break.
Price said Hare was an integral part of the Cats' senior team.
The Cats coach said while it was disappointing to miss finals there was plenty to celebrate about the season.
"We have achieved some good goals within it," he said.
The Cats finished sixth after finishing seventh in 2018.
