AFL injury ladder: Who has been hit the hardest in 2023​

Injuries play a huge part in determining which clubs have a chance to contend for the flag. Check out which clubs have been on the lucky side of the injury curse from Champion Data.

Port Adelaide premiership player Dean Brogan says injuries are hitting the Power at the worst time of year and in the positions that hurt the most.
The Power’s injury list grew on Tuesday when it was confirmed Trent McKenzie had suffered a partial tear of his right PCL and would be out for four to five weeks.
While there was mystery around his latest foot injury, Charlie Dixon will be assessed as the week progresses as to whether he takes on GWS on Sunday.
They add to Scott Lycett having surgery to clean out some of his cartilage in his knee on Friday.
Despite the late hits, Champion Data numbers reveal that the Power have had one of the best runs with injury in 2023.
SCROLL DOWN FOR THE FULL INJURY LADDER
Fierce rival Adelaide has also had a good run with injuries this year, ranked 17th for games lost for all injuries (84) and 18th for games missed by best 22 players.
West Coast leads both stats, with 263 games lost to injuries and 195 to best 22 players. Richmond have lost 178 games (second) and the fifth-most to members of their best 22.
Essendon have lost the third-most games to best 22 players and is ranked fifth overall for games lost to injury, while Carlton has made a late charge despite losing the fourth-most games to best 22 players. Adam Cerra, Harry McKay, Sam Walsh and Zac Williams are among the stars unavailable for Michael Voss.

The Power is ranked 16th when it comes to games lost to injuries this season.
But Brogan said the injuries were coming at the wrong time of the year.
“I think the injuries are to key-position players, too, which hurts, they aren’t to wingers or half-backmen or anything like that,” he told this masthead.
“They are losing ruckmen Lycett, a key forward Dixon, a key back McKenzie and Aliir Aliir to concussion.
“It is the key-position players, if they go down they are really hard to fill.”

18. Adelaide42

Port Adelaide has lost its past four games to drop out of the top two.
Brogan said the Power needed to focus on getting its list healthy before finals.
“It is a bit concerning I think for them now. I think they will finish somewhere in the top four but I think if you said to Port, ‘You are going to finish fourth, but you are going to come into the finals series with a healthy list,’ I think that is a good place to be,” he said.
“You don’t want to scrape into the four and have four or five out of your best 22 carrying serious injuries.
“So, if they can get healthy over the next month, whatever Lycett needs, whatever Charlie needs, what ever McKenzie needs, I think you give them that extra week or two and just get them to finals.
“Going into finals with a relatively healthy list is paramount.
“Normally the healthiest team has a good finals campaign or wins it.”

The Power are also carrying some sore players, with forwards coach Chad Cornes revealing on Monday that Todd Marshall was struggling to get through set shots from 45m and longer, which was why he was passing when he had the opportunity to take a set-shot against Geelong.
Brogan said this needed to be a key consideration by the Power as well.
“This time of year 90 per cent of players are carrying something,” he said.
“So maybe if you can have an opportunity for a Marshall to miss a week or have a lighter couple of weeks, now is the time to do it.
“You are only one or two injuries away from it all capitulating.
“As long as their midfield is healthy they are always a chance.”

Richmond star Tom Lynch set for delayed start to pre-season after foot injury​

Tom Lynch’s recovery from a foot injury has ‘taken a lot longer’ than expected. He’s finally out of the moon boot – but has a long way to go. Here’s the latest.

October 3, 2023 - News Corp Australia Sports Newsroom

Richmond star Tom Lynch won’t start pre-season at full tilt as he continues his recovery from a foot injury that derailed his 2023 campaign.
Lynch, 30, underwent surgery in April and despite hopes he would play again this year, didn’t feature again as he managed the delicate injury.

He faces another scan and a meeting with his surgeon before he can return to running in coming weeks, but he is adamant it won’t curtail his plans to play in Round 1 next year.

“I won’t be with the main group for pre-season day one, but I’ll build throughout pre-Christmas.
Then post-Christmas I’d imagine I’ll be in the main group,” Lynch said at TAB’s Spring Fling event on Tuesday.
“It’s a very long way off, but all things going well I’ll be no worries for Round 1.”

The dual premiership Tiger said that once the decision that he wouldn’t play again this season, he had further surgery to remove the plate that had been inserted and was on Tuesday finally out of his long-worn moon boot.
“With feet, they can just take a long time to heal. It just didn’t recover, and then we decided when I was going to get back this year, we decided to take the plate out,” he said.
“So that’s why I’ve been in the moon boot since. “The plate’s come out and we had to look after it, so it has taken a lot longer than we thought but it’s all on track now.”

Lynch said a previous knee injury had sidelined him for a similar time frame, but “this one was more challenging” to deal with given the incremental gains.
“Because I was still in the boot and I was improving but I wasn’t ticking off many goals,” he said.
“It’s one of those things - you’ve got to be grateful that you’re going to work every day and getting better.
“But we want to play and we want to help the team and it’s frustrating not being able to do that.”
Lynch met with new coach Adem Yze for the first time just days ago after confirmation he would take the reins last month.
“He seems like a great person and a really great coach, so I’m looking forward to him being our mentor,” he said.

Lynch backed the Tigers’ current forward stocks in the likes of Samson Ryan and Ivan Soldo to provide scoreboard support in the absence of retired goalkicker Jack Riewoldt as the trade period looms large.

“If potentially we can bring someone in, that’d be great but I think there’s plenty there,” he said.
Lynch along with five fellow Tigers are part-owners in Soulcombe, a Chris Waller-trained stayer that is currently second-favourite for the Melbourne Cup.

With his wedding also scheduled within weeks, Lynch could well give Collingwood coach Craig McRae a run for his money for the biggest few weeks of his life.

“Hopefully it has a nice couple of runs coming up - the Turnbull (Stakes) on the weekend, and then I think we’ll go to the Caulfield Cup and then the Melbourne Cup,” the premiership Tiger said.
“Hopefully the horse gets through well and it’s in good form.
“We’re very lucky to be involved in a horse like Soulcombe and we can’t wait.”
