Not sure if it's been mentioned elsewhere, but according to the Carlton Show podcast, Kerr had been ill for a few weeks leading up to the first of the practice matches and has been eased into it. Not glandular fever, but something similar which obviously hasn't lasted as long but must have knocked him around a little.
Doc harbouring hope for returning this year..
not sure how i feel about this.

It sure is. All things being equal he would have played round 1 for sure.

If he's ready to go, would do wonders for him mentally, even if its only for a game or two.
I certainly appreciate and admire his determination. Even if he doesn’t play, he’ll be aiming to get a full, uninterrupted and not ‘modified’ preseason and come back ready to roll for round 1 next year. That last bit sounds pretty good to me.

My concern was if he were to shortcut the recovery to try to get a couple of games in this year. Seems like a risk not worth taking.
Take it easy Doc, we’ll need you in your prime from next year on

Disagree as i understand the standard rehab is 12 months or so. Just doesnt seem to be a risk worth taking to have him back for a couple of games this year. Not sure how this view qualifies as 'just a nanny state'.
Sam Rowe is looking at about just over 10 months with his knee.
Doc will likely just miss out this season but a goal to put his mind to.
AFLX ‘19 here he comes (or Hong Kong super series).

Back for the finals baby!
Doesn’t sound like it’s going away unfort. Not sure on the o/seas party time comp but pre-season I think we’ll see it again next season along with the 2 JLT’s. Coaches gave it the thumbs up apparently.

I found that so weird. Not glandular fever but it was but it wasn't cause it was something like glandular fever.... wtf...? Andy Maher also said he's getting no info from the club and their haziness in describing what was going on with Kerr made it look like a rumour. Not gonna put any stock into it, from the level of assuredness they spoke with he could've just sneezed a couple times at training and its been chinese whispered into a big deal.
Was a bit strange for them to bring up a particular sickness and then clarify that it's not that. I imagine they said it because Curnow (and someone else I think?) has had it recently and therefore sticks out in the mind of those listening, and as a descriptive way of saying he was knocked around a fair bit and unable to train etc. But you could just say that without bringing up an unrelated illness.

Could be Epstein Barr virus, similar but not the same as Glandular Fever
EBV..?
You might be thinking of CMV/cytomegalovirus, which causes a syndrome pretty similar to glandular fever, often milder.
EBV/Epstein Barr is the actual cause of glandular fever.
