Monday 14 May 2018 saw QR909 (A380 A7-API), the 2100 SYD to DOH not taking off until 2206, so Tuesday 15 arrival should be at 0604, 64 late.
 
On Friday 15 June 2018, QR904 (2105 hours mid evening DOH down to MEL, A380 A7-APE) took off at 2148, about 20 minutes late, but on Saturday 16 arrival is suggested as 34 late at 1824 hours.
 
On Saturday 23 June 2018, QR906, the short SYD - CBR hop at 0800 hours took off at 0823 but fog appears to be preventing its landing. As at 0927, it was still doing circuits. A7-BEG is the B773ER.

QF2461 was in the same boat.

UPDATE: QR906 managed to land at about 0937 hours, 40 minutes late.

Just updating from personal experience. On 15th May the flight Adelaide to Doha was cancelled at 10.30pm; 45 minutes after expected departure.
 
Monday 9 July 2018 sees QR904 from DOH to MEL (A380 A7-APF) likely to arrive at 1849 hours, 59 minutes late.
 
QR908 (2020 hours Wednesday 18 July DOH - SYD, A380 A7-APE) took off only a couple of minutes late if that at 2043 hours but on Thursday 19 should arrive at 1806 hours, 31 late.
 
On Friday 10 August 2018, QR904 from DOH down to MEL (A380 A7-APD) is arriving at 1901 hours, 71 late. It had a rather brief holding pattern above Bendigo.
 
QR904 (2105 hours Wednesday 29 August from DOH down to MEL that took off at 2147, about 20 late) should arrive on Thursday 30 at 1826, 36 minutes tardy. Aircraft is A380 A7-APH.
 
It is impossible for one person to monitor all flights but from the selection observed, QR is not often late.

Thursday 27 September 2018 is an exception with QR908 from DOH down to SYD (A380 A7-APD) suggested as arriving at 1955 hours, 140 minutes behind time.
 
QR908 is again delayed, though not badly, on Sunday 30 September with A380 A7-APB likely to arrive (ex DOH) in SYD at 1810 hours early this evening, 35 minutes late.
 
QR904, the 2045 hours Friday 16 November DOH down to MEL did not take off until 2333. Accordingly on Saturday 17, A380 A7-API is expected to arrive at 2129 hours, 164 minutes behind schedule.

Tonight's 2230 hours QR905 is predicted to depart at 2300 but this may be just a little optimistic.
 
Today Sat 24th of November, QR904 DOH-MEL is delayed, departed at 1 38am (393min tardy), scheduled to land at 10 16pm (211 min late). A7-APG rego. This will afect QR905 that was scheduled for 10 30pm, now tentative departure for 12 25am.
 
QR904 DOH-MEL delayed again today.
Departed DOH at 2254 (129 minutes late)
Expected to arrive at 2005 (80 minutes late)
 
On its SYD - CBR short hop leg on the morning of Sunday 2 December, QR908 (B773ER A7-BEN) was on time. Unusually, QR907 returning is not, with this 1355 hours ex CBR having become airborne at 1511. Arrival in SYD is estimated at 1554 hours, 59 late.

UPDATE: The next flight for this aircraft, the second sector for QR907 is the 1625 hours SYD - DOH. The aircraft was off blocks a little prior to 1745 hours but had yet to take off by 1747.

Apologies for not noticing this last night, but the Wednesday 5 December QR909 (2130 hours mid evening SYD - DOH) was cancelled. On Thursday 6, QR909D is operating with A380 A7-APE, having taken off at 1343 this afternoon. Lots of missed connections...

It appears that QR908D arrived in SYD this morning at 0634 hours with the same aircraft, so the problem must have been in DOH.
