That would be just magnificent - what a record to have if it happens.
This is quite mind boggling... Particularly when " No change" is seen several times a season and in finals series particularly.
Seems the season end breaks the continuity, players retire, recruits come in, displace the old, infirm and marginal.
But to not happen in 125 seasons....
Even then there are still 269,128,937,220 different combinations (21 from 41).
The exact numbers are irrelevant. With respect to the fact that it's never happened before, it's not possible to work out the exact figures. In the history of the league, there has been anything from 18 to 23 players on a team and who knows how many on a list.
But simply by taking the most common recent numbers, you can get an idea of how many different teams you can pick. I'll bet if you asked the average person how many different teams of 22 can you pick from 42 players, I'll bet they would think it was lot less than half a trillion.

That's the formula. But just go to google and type 42 choose 22 and it gives you the answer.
The only team of any description that has ever taken the field in a later year is the Bulldogs R10 2005 team, which repeated in R1 & 2 2006.
Last week was Prestia's 50th MCG game
Lynch needs 2 goals for 100 at Richmond
Edwards needs 4 goals for 100 at the MCG
Richmond needs 16 behinds for 10,000 at the MCG

This was quite difficult to calculate. I make it that our streak is 31, beginning with the 2019 R19 defeat of Collingwood (prior to that we'd lost two in a row against them). I can see how your method works - start with a clean slate after the 2019 R2 loss to Collingwood. However the following game we lost to GWS which made it consecutive losses to them, so using this method we're on 33, and will be on 39 after the next six "gimmes".
Using my method, if we beat GWS and Brisbane in Round 9 & 10, the streak will continue up to (at least) the start of the finals where it will be at 51.
Club record is 42 from 1931-33, followed by 32 in 1972-73. Losing to Carlton in the 1973 Qualifying Final cost us a streak of 47.
Best for each club:
81 Carlton 1906-10
70 Collingwood 1927-30
58 Essendon 1949-52
49 Port Adelaide 2003-05
42 Richmond 1931-33
41 Geelong 1951-53
40 Hawthorn 1975-76
36 Melbourne 1955-57, Fitzroy 1898-1900
34 Sydney 1935-36
27 West Coast 1992-93
23 St Kilda 2010-11
22 Brisbane 2002-03
21 North Melbourne 1977
18 Adelaide (first 18 games)
15 Fremantle (first 15 games)
14 Western Bulldogs 1955
12 GWS (first 12 games)
11 Gold Coast (first 11 games)
9 University (first 9 games)
Awesome. Thanks for that Lee. Great work. Yes, I wasn’t quite sure how to calculate it.
Another question if I may. As noted, Pendlebury will soon overtake KB on the all time list of games played at the G. How can I find out for example, the top 5 or 10 of who’s played the most at the ground ?
200 Kevin Bartlett, Scott Pendlebury*
186 Dustin Fletcher
169 David Neitz
166 Nathan Jones*
164 Wayne Campbell
163 Dane Swan
160 Travis Cloke, Jack Riewoldt*
155 Shane Edwards*, Sam Mitchell
153 Matthew Knights
152 Luke Hodge, Matthew Richardson, Adaem Yze
150 Scott Burns, Mick Martyn

Hey LtRtR, can you tell me when Cotchin last kicked a goal from a set shot?

Hahaha, I don't have data on that! You'd have to pay the big money to Champion Data.
