I heard on the afl.com.au feed that it was a suspected ankle injury not AchillesApparently Kennedy (ours) may be a late out with an Achilles injury

Hawthorn whacked the Eagles 3 weeks ago with a big chunk of their best players on the sidelines, including Hodge, Hill, Shiels and Roughhead. Then Hawthorn go on to win 3 consecutive games by less than a goal thanks to favorable umpiring in the final minutes of the game. I feel bad for the Adelaide fans. The game was stolen from them.
Despite their record, I haven't been impressed by the WCE this year. They should be even stronger than last year, but something doesn't look right with them. They've beaten 3 very sad teams. They gave up 100 points To Brisbane.
Adelaide has shown that they are no fluke. We played a very good side last week and could have easily won. If we bring the same game against the Eagles, we should win comfortably, regardless if Kennedy plays or not.Comment

Yep. I read it the same way, despite being an eternal pessimist. Last week was much like our early 1996 game vs WCE and late 2012 game vs the Dawks - although we lost, we gave plenty of reasons to think we could match it with the best. But we need to follow through with a win tomorrow if we are to be serious contenders.My opinion is objective truth in its purest formComment

You reckon? I thought both teams kept going at a remarkable intensity right to the end of the game. If they tired a bit, it must have been mostly because of how fast the game was earlier. The second and fourth quarters I thought were played at a remarkable speed (at skill level, given how high pressured it was).
The wet conditions are going to turn our game into a completely different kind of slog.Comment
