The Injury Ladder

Interesting.

Adelaide and Carlton on one end. Brisbane and Richmond on the other. 

Richmond is becoming increasingly suss. Can't think of a better run.

    Makes me think of Nassim Taleb (of the 'black swan' effect).  Randomness suggests that the good run is just a coincidence series.  When they crash, they can crash hard and if this is one of the key reasons they have been successful, then the 'crash' can be a wipeout for them.  Consider long term injuries to Rance, Martin, Cotchin and Reiwoldt in one weekend.  It is as possible as their good run continuing.

    Perhaps we are better being near the mean - which we may be approaching after our good run - and being able to cope by having functional depth.

    Also, games lost does not reflect the quality of the games lost.  Would you prefer a game lost to Viney or to Maynard?  To Gawn or to King?

    Richmond’s charmed injury run continues, fair to say that Viney is our most important midfielder, I wonder how Richmond would be going if they lost the same amount of games from Dusty as we have with Jack.

    Richmond had no injuries last year either, while we were slaughtered.

    If that  was swapped over we would be 2017 premiers and they'd have finished 9th.

    this ladder is pointless unless you look at best 25 players

    40 games lost could kill you  or be no drama

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Brisbane

      Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.

    • AFLW REPORT: Geelong

      Melbourne wrapped up the AFLW home and away season with a hard-fought 14-point win over Geelong at Kardinia Park. The result secured second place on the ladder with a 9–3 record and a home qualifying final against the Brisbane Lions next week.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • 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.
