Our game of AFL shows no mercy. Injuries are apart of our game and it can show a team's depth and their ability to replace their stars in order to be successful. It can also be cruel when the coach decides they are going to replace you with another teammate as he thinks its better for the team.
Richmond (32), due to unexpected injuries to many of their star players, are placed at the top of the list of total players used as they are joined by a Melbourne and North Melbourne (31) outfit who are trying to find the right combination on-field as their form is non-existent.
Ladder leader Geelong has been fortunate thus far having only used three players on top of their starting 22 in round one, as have Collingwood (25).
