Useless AFL Stats

Has your team scored 140+ in a game over the last 5 years?

Most first names starting with the same letter Geelong had 4 players with "O" names the other night. North Melbourne (6 C's) and Essendon (3 Z's) following suit. Here's a list the most players in a side whose first name starts with each letter, and the last time it happened.

The last brother to be beaten in back to back matches by two brothers was Troy Selwood at Brisbane who lost to Joel (GEE) in R22 2007 before also losing to his twin Adam (WCE) in R1 2008. Troy also managed to lose to his other brother Scott Selwood but in a different round.

Zane Duursma can join an exclusive club if North Melbourne lose to Essendon tonight. Last round Zane was beaten by his brother Willem (WCE) and should Essendon complete a miracle after two massive losses and beat North then Xavier will join him in beating his brother.

@APH1991 So it is, our mistake!

@UselessStatsAFL That's not Beau Addinsall. That's Max Knobel.

Yesterday we published the "Done a Hammy in 2026 All Stars". Apart from the fact they are all injured, how would this team go in a normal AFL game? Was there anyone we missed?

Tomorrow night Geelong will become the first team in V/AFL to play with three different players named Oliver in the side on three different occasions. The Cats played the trio of Dempsey, Henry, and Wiltshire twice last year (R7 v Carlton and R8 v Collingwood).

Weird #AFLGF match fact: when you sort team mascot names in alphabetical order, the first and last teams have alternated wins in the past 4 years @UselessStatsAFL

Jack Ziebell, Ben McKay & Bailey Scott played together 53 times for a win rate of 5.66%, -1970 cumulative margin

Jeremy Cameron Collects his 4th Pair of Bookends. He kicked the first and last goal of a game for the 4th time in his career. The top 6 are as follows (from 2001): Jack Riewoldt (7) Lance Franklin (6) Matthew Pavlich (6) Josh J. Kennedy (5) Luke Breust (4) Jeremy Cameron (4)

GEEL v WB: the first game in 2025 where the first goal of each quarter was kicked inside the first 2 minutes. Q1: J Cameron 1:41 Q2: J Cameron 1:40 Q3: B Khamis 1:01 Q4: E Richards 1:16 #AFLCatsDogs @AFL @7AFL @triplemfooty @UselessStatsAFL Photo: Morgan Hancock/Getty Images

@freocrood pay rise to the CD intern that's fed him this stat

IF You are 1st for I50 per goal THEN you are first for %Goals per I50. another pearl of wisdom from Damo

ht @onepercentas for the find

would you believe that the Bears have a higher win rate than the SUNS? (Bears 72 wins @ 32%, SUNS 94 wins @ 30%)

This is the 20th time the bombers have scored 9.11, but this is only their 5th win, and 2nd since 9/11

Thinking about the career of Paul Johnson. 1 game 1 win for WCE in 2003 -> 23% win% over 68 games for Melbourne up to 2010 -> 1 game 1 win for Hawthorn in 2011 Incredible

@CapitalCityCody @EmlynBreese @JamesIves17 @JoeyFortune @HPNfooty This was my favourite ❤️

It's been over 25 years since AFL Premiership Points have been played for at Victoria Park. Last game: Brisbane Lions def Collingwood 94 - 52, 1999 R22 on the 8th of August. Collingwood now have less than 10 years to get their relocation in order.
