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: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
