Updating the MFC website?

Featured Replies

Nice to see an article on the Club website about Tom McDonald yet disappointing that the Club never updates player's statistics under drafting them. The article tells of Tom's endeavour to put on more weight over the pre-season and says how he is currently 96kg, yet if you go to the 'player profiles' the Club has him at 88kg. Surely, it is not too much to keep these periodically updated for members!

 

I remember asking Watts once how tall he was and had he grown since he was drafted. He said he didn't know. The Club only measures these things about once a year. Once they are recruited it is kind of irrelevant....

I think you'll find that once the list has been settled after the National draft and/or preseason draft you'll find these details will be updated prior to the start of next season.

I think the club have better things to do than letting supporters (and the opposition) that some players have put on a few kilo's here or there during the season.

Sometimes I think some of us are like a high maintenance girlfriend.

When all of the players are here, team photos are done and height / weight measurements are done....the list will be updated

Hard to get Dawes' height / weight / photo when he's not even at the club....

EDIT: lucky you're not an Essendon Supporter, you'd be going insane

They don't even have Goddard listed in their team listing, and still list all the delisted players

It is basically consistency that I was getting at, with Max Gawn listed as both 206cm and 208cm at different parts of the same website.

It has been my criticsm for many years now--& nothing has improved. A terrific resource that is being wasted.

They (The Sites) are run by the AFL to my knowledge...need I say more?

How about the MFC keeping their website up-to-date with the new draft picks and players numbers? It is five days since the draft and more since the trading period yet we have no information posted on the draft picks and only the bare minimum on the trades, let alone Grimes & Co's new numbers. Lift your game Melbourne!

You are at the source of all Demon knowledge right here.......

Have you had a good look at the website since the draft? There's video footage of all of them.,Br />

I dare say the players numbers haven't been officially announced yet?

After all, the new draftees arrived today for their first training.

One poster asked Todd Viney what number is Jack wearing and got the inside scoop of no.7. On another thread.

The club will update all heights, weights, players & numbers straight after all the guernsey numbers are finalised.

Cheers

It's all been there since draft night. Try connecting your computer to the internet.

They seem to lag a bit behind other clubs wrt updating the player list but their general website content is quite good and timely IMO.


As much as I hate to say this I like the look of the gws site (My mate Tim Mohr plays there) I despise the team .. IMO our site is a little dated in design in comparison to theirs

They seem to lag a bit behind other clubs wrt updating the player list but their general website content is quite good and timely IMO.

As far as Clubs websites go it is somewhere between Average and Good IMO.

All club web sites are basically very political, just pushing the club / league line.

Good for facts but don't expect too much that is insightful.

I do think though that it is slow in some areas compared to some other clubs.

May well be the result of low staff numbers or are we dependant on the AFL / Telstra to do some of the work.

Nett result, not the worst going around.

I realise that there have been videos posted however I cannot seem to open them for some reason (maybe gremlins in my computer?). The point I was only trying to make is why not put what information that you have on hand in the way of statistics up straight away even if you update it daily it shouldn't be a major hassle. The Players list is consolidated and it is easier to refer to that to find Jack Grimes is No. 31 (rather than have to trawl through news items).

Your initial remark about "How about the MFC website update us with info..." - it's not their fault they update it and you cannot open the links. So I wouldn't be sledging the club in this case.

They (The Sites) are run by the AFL to my knowledge...need I say more?

Are you suggesting that they have "other things" on their mind...like Gestapo or Starzi type "investigations"?

But seriously, even when the season is up and running, the sites are pretty ordinary in informing supporters and members about who is where doing what.


Every year the same question arises, so here is the answer:

With the exception of Essendon, every AFL club site is controlled and managed by Telstra.

Telstra provides a limited amout of upload to each club each day. If the club want to upload extra, then they have to pay exorbitant amounts to Telstra to do it.

Every other club is trying to get their uploads done at the same time. And being in a monopoly position, Telstra don't provide much in the way of resources to do it. We sit in the queue with everyone else, so we have to be smart about what we put up, and with what priority.

If things are happening as far as Club news is concerned ( like Trade week or the Draft ), then uploads of new players video is of higher importance than player weights and heights. Be assurred that when things quieten down later in the year, the information will get put up.

But don't blame the club. Just move your phone services to someone who cares......

What like vodafone!

At least my calls don't constantly fail and the internet works great.

Guys

I don't think it helpful to blame my computer because the Melbourne Football Club does not update their site with either player numbers, selections or statistics. All of us are aware of whom we have drafted etc but potential members may not be and it is amazing that people can blame Telstra charges for a reason that our Club is too inept to keep their website up-to-date. If we have enough data to keep posting 'News' updates then why cannot we keep our website current?

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
