Brisbane and Richmond also do not have any injuries.  This is exceptional given they played in the Prelim and Grand Final respectively.  Other Finalists with minimal injuries are Giants (4) and Eagles (2). 

Here is a summary of all clubs (excl those listed as 'Test' on AFL website.

Carlton (3), Sydney (2) and Port(3) are also in good shape from an injury perspective.

While we are rightly proud of our improved injury list and pre-season I'm wary of how much of an advantage it is for us as many other teams have improved and lists are healthy.

    Brisbane have been very lucky and had a charmed run with injury last year.

    However after having an extremely good run with injury in the run to the finals, they lost one of their key pieces in Mitch Robinson for the semi final and proceeded to lose to GWS, a game they really should've won. Brisbane strike me as the sort of side that would collapse in two if they copped a moderate to bad run with injuries.

    According to the nil reference in the OP, he's clearly in a different role to what he had with us.

    Is McCartin on their list anymore? Poor bastard.

    no, he was delisted ahead of maybe, possibly, trying to come back in 2021

    Brett Ratten will be a gun Coach 2nd time around. 
    I was hoping he might still be available this year, if Goodwin is still struggling 

    But it was not to be. 
    he will be a formidable opponent for years to come. 
    And a hell of a nice guy...

    I think he plays round 1.

    Looked OK in the forward line in Marsh 1. Always seems to be on the move to make an option inside 50.

    Would still like him at the Dees.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
