Kerr, who missed three games between rounds 17 and 19 with hip, glute and hamstring soreness, will miss his second straight match with a back injury.

The 28-year-old made a five-minute appearance at West Coast training on Monday afternoon.

"'Kerry' has not responded as well, he's still pretty stiff," coach John Worsfold told 6PR. "He'll up his running program this week and hopefully we'll have him feeling really good next week."

Wouldn't have been surprised if they rested him but still doesn't sound too good.

He'll be right, he's got 2 weeks rest before Collingwood

 

[Prem87]

If the game mattered this week he would play.

 

[vWestCoast]

Kerr is a gun. He's able to perform no matter what the preparation. Get him right for Collingwood.

 

[Shupe]

Yeah, no problem. He will have the week off and be fine for Collingwood.

If Collingwood was this week, im sure he'd play...

 

[rhinowce]

You can tell its been a long year for Kerr's body after basically having last year off.

 

[8732watitdo]

No problem, came back last time from a lay off and performed well.

 

[Reminiscence]

Considering Kerr probably has 100's of other minor niggles in his body (sore hamstring I bet), I'm not fussed at all that he's not playing at all, give him some rest to dominate finals.

 

[Tiff]

I really hope he's fit for the pies. He's the one guy that can tear them a new one if he's firing.

 

[sTeeL]

He didnt play last time did he?

 

[bigQstick]

He's feeling 'little' sore still. Just giving him bit more of a rest.

 

[Makka]

He'll be right, he's got 2 weeks rest before Collingwood

And then another week off after that!

He did actually.

Kerr did play against Collingwood.

Just a side note; our efficiency into the forward line was terrible that game, We had similar inside 50's for most of the game we just had no structure and didn't kick enough goals early. IIRC we had a good patch from the start and didn't capitalise.

Yep, Kerr played but our kicking was horrible going inside 50. Completely different team now too. I remember that patch where we dominated early, kicked consecutive behinds then collingwood kicked a couple quick goals and it was all over. Kerr seemed to play forward a bit that game, woosh was trying things maybe giving the younger guys a lesson in the middle once the game was lost.

 

[Tiff]

Yeah the pies supporters keep referring back to that game, but it's a completely different team now. We've improved a lot since then.

 

[WCErevival]

That game was also after our thumping of the Bulldogs. We probably went in a little complacent. The important thing is that hopefully Woosh learnt a bit from the game and knows what to do this time.

Any truth to the rumour that Kerr has two broken vertebrae?

 

[ShueytoGaff]

I hope not, i heard it on AFL Teams, someone tweeted BT.

Heard this too! Hopefully someone is just having a lend. Will be bullshit if Kerr cops another bad injury.


I say we kill Lovett Murray.

 

[groga]

So a random tweeted...hmmmm I wouldn't read to much into that.

 

[lynchy magic]

didn't woosha say in his presser yesterday that he would be training today and would be able to run at full speed

 

[groga]

Has anyone been to training lately?

 

[groga]

Guy is a bloody collingwood supporter. (relax its probably bull)

 

[The Magenius]

2 broken vertebrae and he is out there running about... I smell bull shit.
