Kennedy Out 6 weeks

Shocking news.

 

[Mr_Plow]

Unfortunate.

 

[skadoosh]

Ac joint

When and how did it happen?

 

[Opine]

Without wishing to appear insensitive, I think we will be ok in that position for a bit; given recent inclusions such as Setters and, oddly enough, the inclusion of Gibbo

Kennedy Out 6 weeks

Ac joint

Is this coming from a Facebook rumour that was posted on Talking Carlton?

 

[CJMB]

When and how did it happen?

I'm the VFL game I saw him make a decent bump toward the end of the match, seemed sore after. From memory the same quarter he also had someone step on his ankle and looked in a bit of pain after. Think he kept playing after both incidents.

Should’ve posted in the bluemour thread....got it in an email from a mate

Have some good news. Tom Williamson does not have Crohn's Disease. Back has been an issue but being cautiously managed.

 

[BluStreak]

Not kosher

more glutten free

 

[LanceRomance]

Ac joint

6 weeks is a long time for an ac joint

 

[ESKIE]

Guess we’ll find out sooner rather than later re Kennedy, so did it supposedly happen at training?

Can any of our track watchers enlighten...

If he doesn't that has to go down as one of the weirder rumors ever.

My info is that they actually thought he had it, mid last year. By Christmas 2018 they had realised what the thought was Chrohns was actually an infection from a trip to bali mixed with a bad reaction to some sort of supplements they were giving him to treat his back issue. The symptoms were very similar.

The recent rumours of Crohns were working off very old info.

Good news if correct

Ecstatic?

I'm far from ecstatic about our injury count and the quality of personnel not available.
Have seen it over the course of enough years now to understand that you start off with a poor injury count, the numbers just keep rolling over.

We bemoaned SPS not having pre-seasons and for the relatively poor form presented thereafter, yet we have Marchbank, Macreadie, Williamson and Lang in that basket along with Docherty & Pickett likely out for the year.

Me? ....... Not ecstatic.

Docherty - best 22
Marchbank - best 22 but we'd been playing too tall down back...
Williamson - developing player, highly rated
Pickett - coin flip, nice skill set to have on the park IF he can stay involved
Macreadie - developing young tall
Lang - depth

2 of our injured players are best 22, but one of them being out might actually help our structures.
2 are young players that we'd prefer to play in the senior side, but aren't critical players.
2 are depth options, both a fair way down the pecking order too, I'd have thought.

Add Kennedy to that now, supposedly. Not sure if he's considered Best 22, I suspect he would be, but from our collective musings it would appear we've got some options there.

It's not ideal, but it's also not diabolical.

 

[I bleed Blue]

Good news about Willow if true.

Bad news about Kennedy if true.


With Kennedy though I had him missing round 1, just being edged out by our other mids.

He can't take a bloody break though. Seems like we have a handful of cursed players.

Surely a 6 week AC joint injury to Kennedy would have hit the media by now if it was true.

Not sure about this one. I have a bit of a distant source who knows Kennedy and he has not heard anything about the injury.

 

[Eiffel 65]

he has been wering an ankle brace for years.

I know there was a point where Kreuzer, Kennedy and Marchbank were all wearing ankle braces last season.

Didn't notice it in prior seasons.

 

[Eiffel 65]

I guess no news on Matt Kennedy is good news

 

[IronMan29]

Kennedy not named in JLT2 hmmmm

On SM-G950F using BigFooty.com mobile app

 

[JustaBattler]

I am disliking this thread.

 

[HARKER]

I am disliking this thread.

Nah, I'm just ecstatic. Sorry Mr_Plow

This is just the line things follow and more so through the season proper. Start off on the wrong footing and things only get worse.
They just do and there are reasons for that historically and now with Mr. Russell on board they may not show up this year, but I wouldn't be banking on it.
Just some perverse law of nature it seems.
