Its back for Round 7! Zero Hangerโs weekly โfive useless statsโ.
Every week Aaron Delaporte fromย Useless AFL Statsย will take a look at the top five most useless, but captivating, statistics from the weekend.
Round 7 didnโt fail to deliver plenty of stats but here are the most useless ones that you never knew you needed.
5. The Showdown lowdown
Adelaide and Port Adelaide come into the showdown both coming off arguably their worst performances of the year. Adelaide kicked 4.15 in their loss to GWS whilst Port didnโt do much better kicking 5.14 against Brisbane. The combined 9.29 with a 23.7% accuracy is easily the worst ever of the two SA clubs in the same round, beating the 10.22 31.3% in Round 5 2020.
When the two clubs battle it out on Saturday night, they'll be doing so for the showdown edge, as they currently sit at 24 wins each it is worth noting that Port sit with a 6-2 advantage in the eight games played where both sides entered with a loss the previous round.
On a side note and something truly useless to finish with; should Charlie Dixon kick a goal in this match he will become the 257th player to kick 257 goals in V/AFL history - something to impress the family and friends with should it happen.
