*Placed on the club's long-term injury list

Not a bad list at this time of the year.

I'm very worried about Josh, I think we're not being told the full extent of his injury. If it were just hamstring tightness as we were told, why is he still not training with the main group like Benny is?

Hope I'm wrong....

I heard he was training with the main group.
Only Bird was not.

Yes I agree, you'd think the only reason he didn't train yesterday would be if he's feeling continuing tightness in his hammy.

The way both Horse and Jack talked yesterday RE : returning players, was more optimistic hope than certainty.

Fingers Crossed. We need him to counter Mundy.

What I read was McGlynn trained with the main group. Bird and Kennedy did some light running away from the main group.

From an avid training watcher

Matthew G Moses
18 hrs ? Sydney
Training today: Ben McGlynn trained fully as did Buddy (the guy is a goal kicking freak I swear). Joey did a fair bit as did Pyke. Birdy did a light run. I think only Bird likely to miss from those guys from what I saw.

That sounds better than what I read, but still..."Joey did a fair bit" (but didn't train fully, like McGlynn did), is a bit of a worry for me...

The question is..Why didn't he train fully?

The following from AFL website;

Brownlow Medal contender Kennedy has missed the past two matches with a hamstring injury, ending a run of 127 consecutive games.
He was one of the last players onto the track on Tuesday and spent time running laps and doing agility work with fellow injured players Craig Bird (knee) and Brandon Jack (ankle), plus Ryan O'Keefe.
Kennedy didn't train with the main group, but had a couple of shots on goal and did some stoppage work alongside Mike Pyke before hitting Dan Hannebery with a spearing pass from about 35m.

Sounds like he can kick and thats the main issue with hamstrings. I think he will play.

[Ampersand]

They have another session tomorrow so they might have been easing Kennedy back with a lighter session before putting him through his paces on Thursday. If he doesn't get through that he won't play but I don't think there's too much cause for panic just yet.

[stellation]

If he's running, doing agility work and kicking then it's reasonable to think his hamstring is okay. If he's missed a couple of games and some training it would make sense that he would be on a slightly different program to everyone else.
