    So Wheatley would have contributed 13 of that 36. Green a few from his injured jaw and so on.

    Bit of an odd list though.

    10 of Essendon's come from one player (Hille) whilst 14 of ours come from one player (Wonaeamirri).

    No offence to Aussie, but I know who the greater loss is.

    Wheatley wasn't injured though.

    I wouldnt have thought it a bad year for injuries.... god knows weve had some shockers

    Essendons probably isnt all that accurate as they probably had more injuries last year making there top 10 in the best fairest an inaccurate indicator of there top 10 players. They are definately improving though.

    Sydney are always amazing with there lack of injurys must be something in the water up there.

    Furthermore, Andrew Welsh adds 11 weeks to the Bombers tally.

    That's 21 from 2 players.

    Of Freo's 31 - Palmer's 14 accounts for almost half.

    I found this table of players' consecutive games.

    Bruce on 38, Cale Morton on 22 then Moloney, Davey and Mclean on 14.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
