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 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.

    • GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road for their 3rd interstate game in 4 weeks as they face a fit and firing Crows at Adelaide Oval. With finals now out of our grasps what are you hoping from the Dees today?

    • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

      What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.
