    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.

    • GAMEDAY: Brisbane

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG after a dismal performance in Gather Round to face the reigning dual Premiers Brisbane. What do expect to see from the Dees today?

    • PREVIEW: Brisbane

      They really had me fooled when I picked them with great confidence to beat the Bombers at Gather Round last week. I should have recognised that nothing is more quintessentially Melbourne than defeating the undefeated early premiership favourite one week and losing to a winless cellar dweller on its way to establishing a record losing streak the next.

      The Demons return to Melbourne and the hallowed turf of the MCG where they face dual reigning Premiers Brisbane on Sunday. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      Melbourne’s much vaunted finishing power evaporated at Adelaide Oval on Saturday afternoon, exposed for the third time in four years by its Essendon Gather Round hoodoo.
