Kerr ruled out

[iceman]

According to the West he's still having trouble training. Although Cousins and Wirra seem likely to play....

Ive also got a feeling that Wilson may get another shot this week (i hope)

Well obviousley Kerrs injury is worse than expected!
Seems like we should get wirra and cuzz back and maybe Porno. All in all not to bad, How long will Kerr miss do you think?

I say Kerr will have just this week out and should be back next week. If the ankle was any worse, he would have been gone 4-6 weeks.

Our midfield looks alot weaker without Duncan in it. I hope he gets back soon!

Is it really any weaker though? Cousins, Judd, Fletcher, Embley, Chick, Read, Wirrpunda and Jones have all been in great form this year. With so much depth some of these guys end up playing in the forward/backline line, and when a Kerr or Cousins goes down we don't lose much midfield power with the replacements

2 out of 3 aint bad. Wirrpunda is back and Cousins wont miss a game. That is good news but no Kerr is a bummer. He is a great player and whilst we can cover him, we cant actually replace him, he is too good to simply be replaced. However our midfield is strong enough to continue on in his absense.

Kerr was never going to play - he was walking laps for the majority of the week. I think it would be better to have him ready to go against Collingwood next week anyway.

Wilson is also on the outer yet again. It seems he needs to keep impressing the selectors with good WAFL form before he gets a recall.
