Does the same apply to Scharenberg Sinclair Reid Brown and maybe half the side ?

Only Kennedy because he is so small and not the best choice in the first place. In any case, all the other players listed have already had long periods on the sideline without needing to add GF to their list of ailments.
This is Ben's third year and he was meant to be AFL ready in his first year. If the rest of you are content to add him to a growing injury list and pass over it without comment, feel free to do so. (Who's next?) I thought he had little enough (no pun intended) to offer before this glandular fever story. If he actually has it, then it is bye bye Ben. Tough but realistic.
A bout of GF is hardly going to add to his tank!
Yeah.. extremely unlucky.
We seem to say this year after year. What players other than our's have contracted glandular fever the last 3 years? Whatever way you care to view it, we are down yet another player for most of the year.
I've had glandular and was back to 100% in 2 weeks but I've known other people it's knocked them around for 3 months. The kid really needs some fitness then a good run at AFL level and he will show everyone why he was the AA under 18 rover

Even if it was possible to Hawk a player around at this stage of the season what would be the point. You would be offering him up at a low point and start to negotiate from a point of weakness. "Early season special" right

Poor kid. Hope it's not a bad case. That s**t can knock you out for weeks or months...

LOL wtf did I just watch????
So your personal experience of this illness has determined your view of Ben K's illness! Normally I am sure you'd be riding with your lance held high into battle on the back of a BK barbed comment or a slight at someone else who is not on your short list of off limit players.
Did you even read my comment? I said it could be 2 weeks or months not exactly determining how long he will be out

Yeah it was pretty flattening to hear initially considering he's the fittest he's ever been and I'd had my fingers crossed because he was initially given the all clear, but it appears the genie's out of the bottle now.
I personally have question marks on where he fits long term, but there's no denying he deserves a clean run at it!

I think he'll surprise a few by what he brings once he's established, just needs a decent run at it.
