Even if Kennedy isn't fit I hope to God that they pick another tall to give Darling some support.

Even with both of them in the side, I'm not that bullish anymore about our chances to get to a GF,
let alone win one. Coaches and teams have worked us out, and our midfield looks brittle.
Not to say it can't be done, just hanging on for a bumpy ride where anything can and probably will happen?

I actually thought he was ok but some insider info suggests otherwise. I take back my cited optimism. He's a 3% chance to play this week apparently...
Same!
Simmo has ruled JK out this week already in his weekly spot on 7... making me very nervous about his recovery. Club is being super cagey on his injury and when he will be back which makes me think it is a lot worse than previously reported. Plus he is not even training at all yet is he?
I don't think there is a huge concern about him coming straight back in - has shown a few times he can have a fair break (no pun intended), come back, have an immediate impact and kick a bag.

Seriously sack the ****ing doctor. Naitanui does ACL again (yes different knee but still should have been lighter) and Kennedy can't get back on the park. Look at Goldsack at Collingwood. Playing again in same season after an ACL
Agree wholeheartedly with this post but it probably comes back to the strength & conditioning guys rather than the medicos. Still insist that he was way too big when he first did it in 2016 and came back just as big. Should have shed 5-10kg this pre-season.
I know he’s probably not an endurance athlete per se but bloody hell he’s at a professional sporting set up, surely they can get him lean and build up his tank? Still seemed to have his leap coming back from the first reco. If coupled with a better ability to cover the ground it would have been an exciting prospect.

Well but yes I don’t think it takes 6 weeks for general soreness

Yep if Josh Kennedy is not there we are done
. If he and darling both Fire we are a chance
A Sydney supporter who works along side me says he was chatting to a bloke who has a lot to do with the publication of the "Record" mag - He's heard that JK won't be back this year 
I'd like to believe my mate is just winding me up, but it's what he heard, and I guess his mate would probably rub shoulders with people who might be privy to that sort of info.
This is the last thing I want to hear, I just want more than anything to see the big dog line up in the first week of finals...
luv ya JK, get back on the track and do what you do best mate!

Have heard this rumour but from zero credible sources. Interesting the media has not picked it up - Hackdorn in particular loves to write about season ending injuries that never eventuate... (elbow that was 'season ending' in 2015 anyone?
) but you'd think him and his useless mates would be all over this?Surely the club would outright say if it was season ending... right? RIGHT? RIGHTTTTT?
Which leg is it that Kennedy's injured? If it's his non-preferred, I say we just amputate it and get him one of the blade legs. Chicky would have done it in a heartbeat.

Is everyone here happy to make a GF only to be flogged ala 2015?

Haggers gets it wrong. So the fact he is silent means JK is on his death bed.
Vale JK.

The problem is that I don't know if the supply is there any more. No Gaff and I'm not shuey can reach the same lofty heights without Nic Nat being our number one ruck/rover combination.

Not having Nic or Gaff doesn't help our cause either.

Yep well gaff and Nic Nat we can’t do much about let’s get there first. Big game this week
10-0 with them both playing this year
Get them up for finals and we have a genuine chance imo
