Kerr suffers setback: Woosha says "He'll be back by 2024"

Daniel Kerr continues to struggle with his hamstring, feeling tightness around the most discussed muscle in the AFL.
I assume this doesn't come as much of a surprise to any of you. It certainly didn't come as a surprise to me, about as much surprise as when the Dockers didn't win a premiership again for the 15th consecutive season.
It really is a shame too. Regardless of my feelings that he should've been traded two seasons ago, at his best Kerr is a marvel, one of the best in the game. A highly skilled, once in a generation kind of player.




 Although we did have 3 once in a generation type of players a few years ago...ahhh the memories....Unfortunately, we have only seen glimpses of his sublimity (yes, a word) in the post-Juddas era.

Plagued by injuries and disciplinary problems, the best player on our team has barely been on the field. Reportedly, according to Woosha it could be a while yet until his return:

We're not in a rush to force him into getting ready for round one. I want people to see Daniel Kerr play at his best again and if that's round 10, then we'll wait until then.


He went on to say:

He's fitter than he was at this time last year.
...Huh? Round 10? I think we should just pretend that he won't play this season. We can't keep hoping he rekindles the consistent form he possessed now years ago. If he plays any significant role this season, Great. If he doesn't so be it. It's time for Masten, Ebert, S. Selwood and others to assume some control of the midfield. It's time to step up.
