There used to be a site “AFLinjuryupdate” which used to cover a number of sports but it covered the AFL on a single page with each team’s injuries (and even suspensions) as well as the expected date of return. That was updated each week. I don’t think it exists now.
Here we are just 4 days away from our opening game and the last injury update on the CFC was on 17 Jan. No doubt there are little snippets of injury news revealed in various videos but there’s no central resource provided. I’m sure that all AFL clubs are happy to shroud their injuries in as much secrecy as possible but it sure flies in the face of the AFL’s desire to dominate sports media coverage.
If there is a running list of injuries somewhere, please let me know.
Edit: this site might be the current version of the one above - https://www.sportingnews.com/au/afl/news/afl-injury-list-2023/ogkroxcfvgxpghsax5kf9pq7
Remember the good bad old days when Andy McKay would take us through the injuries each week?
The link you posted is the most up to date injury list. Hopefully, our club website will provide regular updates during the season ... but I'm not holding my breath. The website seems to focus on clickbait without provide much information. It's not an AFL thing as other club websites have significantly more information such as VFL, WVFL and even wheelchair team lists as well as up to date injury lists. It's probably worth an email to Brian Cook.
