Give the Useless AFL stats page a follow.

I'll post any useless Demon related stats here.

This is an interesting one. Since our loss to the Bulldogs by more than 2 points the other week we only hold a positive margin against 3 sides in St Kilda (+1077), Gold Coast (+383), and North Melbourne (+276).

Any chance we get beaten by 1,078 points by St. Kilda this week?

    I thought this thread was going to be about useless Demons rather than useless statistics. It's marginally more interesting than what I was expecting. Just.

    Is it a negative, or is it a positive - in that whilst we are performing poorly - , actually we are relatively so close score wise to our opponents throughout matches?

    ps: ripper thread....

    My own personal useless stat:

    Since choosing to follow Melbourne in 1965, I have experienced 

    471 wins

    5 draws

    743 losses

    This includes 31 finals in that period of which we won 18 and lost 13.

    If we lose by 100 points this weekend (very possible), we'll have experienced the largest year-on-year decrease in percentage (as a %, not a subtraction) this century.

    Current rate:

    Carlton 2001-2002 -43.13% 5th-16th
    West Coast 2007-2008 -41.04% 3rd-15th
    Melbourne 2018-2019 -40.72% 5th-17th
    Richmond 2015-2016 -35.42% 5th-13th
    Fremantle 2015-2016 -37.41 1st-16th

    Supports my theory that the leading reason we were awful this year is that Angus Brayshaw was awful. Get him right and we go a long way to fixing our problems.

    Brayshaw's third place is the most overrated stat around. We mock Brownlow votes for being ridiculously slanted to midfielders and know full well he wasn't in the top 30 players in the league last year let alone top three but still get caught up in comparing his seasons like there's something new to be learnt. We all know he was ordinary this year, don't need umpires to tell me.

    Umpires should give 1, 2, 3... 42, 43, 44 votes.

    Would help identify the regulars who shouldn't be playing.

    • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

    • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.

    • NON-MFC: Round 15

      As the Demons head into their Bye Round, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches being played. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons if we can manage to turn our season around? Follow all the non-Melbourne games here and join the conversation as the ladder continues to take shape.
