Richmond’s wretched run of injuries in 2024 are highlighted through a couple of lists involving all 18 AFL clubs.
The first list relates to the number of players used by each club across the entirety of the home-and-away season.
The second list pertains to the number of players at each club that appeared in every game.
Richmond topped the table for the most players used with 42, which was two more than its nearest rival, West Coast.
In comparison, ladder leader Sydney used only 31 players in its 23 games.
And, in terms of the number of players who appeared in every game, the Tigers had only one – Daniel Rioli.
That is three less than Carlton and Gold Coast with four apiece.
Brisbane was No. 1 on this list with 11 players who participated in every game of the 2024 home-and-away season.
