Hey Tigers fans,
Thought I’d share something a bit different — a detailed numerology + Chinese astrology analysis of our 2024 draft class. I’ve looked at each player’s birthdate to forecast their injury risk, personal development trajectory, and energy alignment over the next 3 seasons (2025–2027). Also explored why injuries have piled up this year.

Quick Glossary- Life Path Number: Your “numerological identity” — how you move through life.
- Personal Year: What kind of energy surrounds you in a given year.
- Chinese Zodiac: Adds flavour to personality and resilience (all 2006 = Fire Dog, except Jonty who is a Wood Dog).
- Enemy Year: A mismatch between Life Path & current Personal Year = more stress, more risk.

Why the Injuries in 2025?- 6 of 8 are in Personal Year 4 → energy of restriction, grind, and structural discipline
- Fire Dog players are intense and proud — tend to push through early warning signs
- Several have numerology mismatches (e.g. Life Path 3 or 5 in Year 4) → mental friction = body stress
- Transition to AFL level always tough, but this group’s karmic year hit all at once.
