Brisbane: Short List, Creeping Up
Brisbane sit 8th of 18 on the medicare ladder after Round 18 — an estimated 125 games lost and 1 season-ender, unmoved on last week. Every figure is a modelled estimate, not an official club count.
Just one ended — Payne's knee — and only three names active, yet +5 this week nudges the Lions up the count. Gardiner's hamstring, four to six weeks, is the longest of a short list. A clean sheet by comparison: the toll is banked, not building.
On the full medicare ladder, Brisbane rank 8th of 18 — unmoved on last week. The graphic ranks every club by estimated games lost this season; it is a modelled estimate offered as context, never an official count or an excuse.
That is what each club has lost to injury, estimated — offered as context, never an excuse. How much slack you cut a side for its casualty list is yours to weigh.
