Useless Demons Stats


Demonland

Recommended Posts

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.

I didn't even think of that. Unintentional click bait title.

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.

Him and about half the list Chook!

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.

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm
