While it will be a big loss at least it will force us to change a few things and try a few things and that could create something special.

We did play well without him and Cox.
I think it's not as big a loss as seems. I would like the youngsters to grab hold that midfield like they did last year. Kerr will always be a spark and star so to put him into a good young midfield when he is fit. To put him in when the team was going well wouldve been dynamite at the end of last year. He leads by example with the hard ball but overall don't think he is a great teacher of the youngsters.
Always a huge loss losing one of your most talented players. Imo he was only getting better as the season went on.

Some terrible calls in this thread. Even if Kerrs not playing well he ALWAYS takes the number 1 tag which is a huge advantage to the second, third and fouth next best mids in our side. Also the call to bring Hurn into the midfield is rubbish as well. Clearly he is a born backmen who steadies the ship coming out of defense. Even though he would do well I think his massive kick and great decision making would be waste in the midfield.
I'll definately take it but its a huge loss.
Ah, so it was similar to the one he did back in the 2008 intra-club match..took him 5 weeks to get over it, IIRC.

tend to agree with most others here..
its a tangible loss,esp. as woosha reckoned he was close to 'turning it on'..
so who gets the number 1 tag now - priddis? (if so how does he handle a top tag,and if he's taken out of the equation,how much will that impact the results)
looking at the big picture..i guess in a way,theres an upside..we get to see other players come in (stevens?)..in kerrs absence, they will have gelled more as a midfield and team;he can get refreshed(again) for mid season..(the upsides are getting thin..)

If we put Kerr on the long term injury list, when would he be available for selection again?
Actually he has if you botherb watching closely.
Just after mid way through lastb season he stopped hacking the ball blindly by foot out of packs and handballed more.
Did it a couple of times this year but has stopped doing at as much.
Priddis was great last night.i thought Pridda was really good last night.
When U say Gazza do you mean Ablett jr? Maybe he doesnt kick it blindly because he has guys like Bartel, Corey, Selwood and Ling in there with to hlep - ever thought of that?
But part of that was sheer luck that his no-look kicks actually went to our teammates most times.
masto /shuey to midfield and put stevenson on a HFF and hams in a pocket. that makes me want a pizza pocket. i really could go one of those pizza pockets. maaaaaaaa the pizza pockets! we want them now!

Huge loss. Will really notice he's not there. As well as coming back into a bit of damaging form(always makes something happen when he has it), he always takes the number one tagger which free's up other guys like priddis to get a bit more space, now with him out, the others will feel the affect. You guys who chose the middle option obvoiusly know nothing bout football

Nine news 'understands' that he'll be out for around 6-10 weeks.

John Ralph from the Herald says Kerr has "dodged a bullet" and should be out for "just 4-6 weeks", a month less than I expected. Round 10 or there abouts return according to them at this time.
