Does carrying injuries track with where a club sits? This compares each club's value-weighted injury burden against its premiership points for the latest completed round — the "depth over headlines" view of whether squad health is showing up on the ladder.

Injury Burden vs Ladder Position — 2026

Value-weighted burden ↔ premiership points: moderate association (Spearman ρ −0.35 · 18 clubs · 95% CI −0.70 to +0.14 · Round 24)

Association, not causation. Injury burden is one of several factors related to where a club sits — squad depth, fixture congestion, and finances all matter too. Research across 20 AFL seasons (Hoffman et al., 2020) finds value-weighted injury burden is associated with final ladder position, explaining a minority of the variation.

Injuries are OSIICS-classified. Ladder is the official AFL ladder (via Squiggle).

Forward-looking injury-risk projection per club — a heuristic placeholder, separate from the descriptive Health Index.

Projection — forward-looking injury-risk outlook from a heuristic model (placeholder; ML pending, heuristic-1.5). This is NOT the descriptive Health Index above — it estimates which squads carry the most injury risk entering coming rounds, weighting injury history, recency, and recurrence. Players currently injured are scored on history, not re-counted as new risk.

Forward-looking heuristic injury-risk projection per AFL club — a placeholder model, not the descriptive Health Index. Columns show the count of players at each risk level and the team's average risk score out of 100.

Rotation churn across the season — cumulative unique players fielded and ever-presents per club. Rank is by value-weighted players used (1st = most churn of key players, 18th = most settled) — the same squad-stability rank shown on game pages. Raw players-used keeps its own #/18 annotation in the Total column.
