Injury Kennedy

[MWPP]

Any news on the type of injury he sustained?
Seems like he returned at the end of the game for a few minutes, so hopefully means that he's a chance to play this week

 

[new breed]

He came back on the field , so I would imagine it is ( hopefully !!) only a strain but will probably be too sore to play the final next week !

 

[SpaceClef]

Woosha saying it won't keep him out. They'll probably give it a jab and he'll completely **** his ankle up during the game. Bit worried about his durability.

Looked to me like a simple roll of the ankle...

"Kennedy 'will be fine'"

fingers crossed

 

[ep2018]

He played the game out against Richmond too and missed 14 weeks!! FFS

 

[Ghossein]

watching the footage, it looked painful, but no breakage or structural damage. probably just heavy bruising.

will probably miss recovery sending the media into meltdown...

 

[ep2018]

Play him next week regardless and just park him in the goal square,

i haven't seen a forward never leave the 50 let alone the goal square for some time now

This is Charlotte Dawson all over again.

Hows he gone since coming back. Do you guys see him with enough confidence yet to do something in the finals?

 

[Nuke Fremantle]

Obviously I hope any injury Kennedy has is only minor but to be honest if he can't play next week it may be a blessing in disguise. He's done next to nothing (understandably) in his 2 games back and even an out of form Lynch could hardly be doing any worse.

massive call Kennedy was presenting all day took a few grabs through the centre square. The stuff you dont see him do on the screen. He smashes packs even when he doesnt take the grabs. It was only his 2nd game. Keep him there

 

[Wettoast11]

He should be back for next week.

 

[The Passenger]

He was lucky. that had disaster written all over it as gibson (?) came across.

 

[new breed]

Has a tear in the scar tissue from the Ankle surgery Kennedy had early in the year , according to DR Larkins anyway , has pulled up sore and would have to be doubtful .

When your team mates aren't hitting targets like yesterday there's not a lot you can do.

Granted he was a bit rusty against pies, but Did we expect much more? I expect him to be a lot better in the finals if our midfield can deliver .

That's just typical Doc Larkins BS. Rioli will be back by week 2 of he finals according to him 2 weeks ago.

Anyone who has scar tissue understands it can be irritated by a knock or a twist. Your initial reaction is always "**** I've done it again" but once it settles down and you realize it's nothing structural it's usually easily overcome. I guess we'll see.

 

[ep2018]

Cant we inject him with painkillers? We neeeed him, he takes the best defender

WEST COAST is confident Josh Kennedy will be fit for selection in the club's final next week, saying the key forward had only "jarred" his left ankle.

And in other news today, North Korea says its not developing nuclear weapons ..
North Korea could learn a lot from WCE publicity department ..

 

[TassieEagle]

Well if Woosha says he is fine we will see him in 2014, probably. I am so jaded on the injury fron this year.

Wow awesome work from dr larkins, X-ray vision! Scans tomorrow.

 

[Tiff]

Sorry but what exactly did JD do? Is he ok? My heart stopped when he went down. Didn't look too serious as he was good for the rest of the match.
