JOSH KENNEDY did not take the midday flight from Perth to Adelaide but seems likely to take the latest possible plane to join teammates in the South Australian capital tonight.
But should his wife go into labour for the birth of their first child, the Coleman Medallist will return to Perth on Saturday, according to some reports.
Perth media originally reported Kennedy missed the midday Virgin flight to Adelaide, and was a long shot to make an appearance for the Eagles.
Josh Kennedy fails to fly out at midday for tomorrow's @WestCoastEagles game - unlikely to play.

But FOX Sports News' Drew Jones says Kennedy is still expected to fly over.
Josh Kennedy will fly to Adelaide & on track to play for the Eagles. If his partner goes into labour tomorrow, he'll fly home #afl

Earlier, the Eagles named an unchanged line-up to the one that defeated the Saints by 103 points last week.
Port Adelaide has made one change, with Robbie Gray replacing Brendon Ah Chee following the Power's loss to Carlton last weekend.
