Port Adelaide sit 1st of 18 on the medicare ladder after Round 18 — an estimated 224 games lost and 7 season-enders, unmoved on last week. Every figure is a modelled estimate, not an official club count.


Seven players are gone for the year — Liddy, Lord, Mackinlay, Powell-Pepper, Ratugolea, Rozee and Sinn — with Powell-Pepper the newest name on the list. No other club has more than four. Rozee and Ratugolea alone reshape the spine, and the +22 charged this week keeps Port alone at the top. The gap back to second is the size of a whole other club's season.
On the full medicare ladder, Port Adelaide rank 1st 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.
