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.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
