GWS veteran Adam Kennedy's season is over after scans revealed a torn ACL from Saturday's loss to Brisbane.

Kennedy suffered the injury following a collision with Brisbane's Keidean Coleman that resulted in the defender landing awkwardly on his knee.

The club confirmed on Sunday that Kennedy will miss the remainder of the season due to the knee injury.

โ€œIt's shattering news for Adam and the club but we'll wrap our arms around โ€˜Kenners' and give him all the support he needs,โ€ GWS football boss Jason McCartney said in a club statement.

โ€œHe's a much loved member of our footy club and we know he'll attack this setback with his trademark hard work and diligence.โ€

Fellow defender Sam Taylor will miss close to 10 weeks with a grade three hamstring injury sustained in the third term of the defeat to Brisbane.

McCartney said it was a disappointing outcome for the All-Australian defender.

โ€œUnfortunately Sam will miss around 10 weeks with this hamstring injury,โ€ McCartney said.

โ€œIt's frustrating for Sam, who has been in exceptional form, but we look forward to welcoming him back after our mid-season bye.โ€
