    I'm tempted to write down all 18 teams.

    Actually it would be GWS. Cause you aren't counting any of the rookies as they haven't played a game yet.

    I call shenanigans.

    I'd also wager this.

    GWS.

    Cornes 239

    Brogan 174

    Power 282

    Palmer 53

    Junior 251

    Setanta 80

    Ward 60

    Scully 31

    Reid 10

    Davis 18

    Average 119.8 games.

    Bingo.

    That said, assuming all 10 of those play against Sydney, along with 12 kids, the average after that game then drops to 55.45. And drops further as more kids play (and the uncontracted players don't)

    GWS is right. Sorry I have been offline for a few hours.

    A good example of how stats can lie! STriker is the man. Well done

    Cheers

    good example of statistical anomaly

    you have 4 essential washups worth 1000 odd games between them. This is not typical of any other list.

    And it will change pretty much as soon as round 1 is over. because you will be dividing it by 23 obvisouly.

    And by the time Junior suffers from general soft tissue soreness and takes 8 weeks to get over it, that will really reduce the average.

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem   

      Salem proved to be a valuable contributor as a reliable and solid one-on-one medium-sized defender in what was undoubtedly his most impressive season since the premiership year. He remains a highly capable rebounding option for the Demons as he approaches his 200th game at the club.
