St Kilda in peril yet again - but are their problems due to Lyon's coaching or the quality of the cattle?
For too long, St Kilda have alternated between minnow and mid-table - and it’s hard to see when it’s going to get better.
All the talk on the injury front this season has been about Richmond’s incredulous run of ailments to superstars.
From Round 2, the Tigers have had been unable to field their best 22 after Alex Rance suffered an ACL injury in the season’s first match. Incredibly, however, the club has continued to find ways to win matches.
Trent Cotchin, Jack Riewoldt, Dustin Martin, Jayden Short, Bachar Houli and Toby Nankervis have also all spent – or are spending – unwanted time on the sidelines this season, but are the Tigers really the biggest victims of 2019’s injury curse?
Is there another club out there having a worse run in the medical room?
We got Roar AFL expert Ryan Buckland on Game of Codes – our podcast – to look at the full injury list and see just which club is hurting the most.
Listen to the discussion:

But is there an outside contender? Give the excerpt a listen above to see what our experts think.

If the Lions are clever they can use this season as a passing of the guard season and send off some very talented players whilst also trying to be competitive.
