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

The Ides of May?

Beat this useless stat for 2019 (from 2 weeks ago).

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?

st It's the Melbourne way.

Someone in the Useless Stats Facebook comments said "You could simply reverse the ladder and somehow Gold Coast would still be one the bottom".

It’s a crying shame that we happen to be playing against the resurgent St Kilda just as they have managed to overcome a rotten patch of form with an upsurge in momentum resulting from the sacking of its coach and the appointment of a new one. The Saints had a purple patch at the start of the season winning four of their first five games (including the one against the sloppy and sluggish Demons in Round 5) before collapsing into the sink hole that led to them parting ways with coach Alan Richardson and his ultimate replacement by caretaker Brett Ratten. In accordance with the standard when that happens, the Saints suddenly came alive and comprehensively beat the Western Bulldogs at Marvel Stadium last week just as the Doggies were starting to make a play for the finals. Meanwhile, Melbourne’s nightmare season continued to roll along with another inaccuracy-marred performance that saw it roll over again in the final quarter of a very winnable game against the West Coast Eagles. Had it been able to win those matches this season, it might still have been within striking distance of the finals but instead, it sits behind Carlton which some weeks ago was languishing on the bottom before the sacking its coach. Once again, the season’s statistics are misleading and unhelpful because, while the Demons are streets ahead of the Saints in most of the game’s key performance indicators, they are so ineffective at converting such apparent advantages into wins on the scoreboard. The numbers don’t even bear repeating because, on a weekly basis, they favour the Demons against their opponents but when the players hit the ground, they spray their own set shots at goal and then watch the ball move the other way with efficiency that leads to easy goal scoring situations. The casual observer is left to opine that the club’s brains trust has miscalculated the ways to use the 6-6-6 system to the team’s advantage. The team that runs out onto Marvel Stadium on Saturday night will be well below the best that Melbourne can put on the field but let’s face it - there are others who have been badly hit by injuries and they manage to keep performing and win games. The Bombers are a case in point. Which means that the Demons have been exposed for a lack in depth players as well as the spirit and football nous required to win games. It ain’t happening at the moment and it won’t happen on Saturday night. Prediction St Kilda by 9 points.

All those under a goal wins haven't done our percentage any favours. Sack the coach.

There'd be some angry supporters with a 10 - 7 record but I'd take it in a heartbeat.

I don't believe that the clubs listed as circling have not been nominated by the player unless of course we've enquired and have been rebuked without offer.

I'm not sure why we're not one of the 3 clubs as we're screaming for a player like Tippa.

We’ve lost two games in a row on our home turf to this mob and, thanks to the sacking of their coach, we’re in danger of a third.

It is meta and let's be real means absolutely nothing. The 2nd stat is surely an anomaly.

It's the win loss record for each position on the ladder based on the team in that position at the beginning of each round.
