Finger
August 17, 2021
Kennedy suffered a fractured finger and will have to wear a glove if he's able to play in Round 23 against Brisbane, according to Nathan Schmook of AFL.com.
ANALYSIS
Kennedy has scored 39 goals in 18 games this season but could otherwise use a break in what has been an inconsistent year for the Eagles. Should he choose to play, Kennedy's chances of making the finals are more based off the results of other teams than that of his own.

Calf
July 20, 2021
Kennedy is listed as a test to play in Round 19 if he can over come a calf injury, according to club physiotherapist Mark Finucane. "(Kennedy) has settled well after the weekend off and just has a normal week of training to be available for this weekend, so see how he goes through training this week."
ANALYSIS
Kennedy has scored 32 goals in 14 games this season and would be a big help to an inconsistent Eagles club.
Kicks winner against Tigers
FWest Coast Eagles
June 13, 2021
Kennedy scored four goals to go with 15 disposals (12 kicks, three handballs) and made seven marks during Sunday's 85-81 win over Richmond.
ANALYSIS
Kennedy has scored seven times in two weeks, though his final goal was the biggest as he scored the winner in the final minute to complete a big comeback. As he hadn't scored more than 55 points in three games before Round 13, Kennedy doesn't hold much fantasy value unless this performance becomes the norm instead of the exception.
