    It's lightning fast for me at the moment, but was bad before. Scratching my head at the moment to be honest.

    Has been lightning fast all day (even at the height of the Sylvia announcement). Last 1/2 hour has been terrible. Having said that this page opened up a lot faster now than it did 10 minutes ago.

    Are you finding that it has short periods of being really bad, then long periods of being okay?

    During a period where you're consistently finding it's okay, what happens if you close your browser and open it again - is it bad again?

    Weird line of questioning probably, but it does lead somewhere.

    The problems definitely happen when the site is busy - no doubt about that, but it's not the normal "server under heavy load" things you see like memory/CPU/hard drive being hammered; the server never seems to be under any great stress. I can reproduce the problem with a tool I've got that hits the site with 500 connections at once; the first 300 load the site in 1-2 seconds and the last 200 often have to wait 20+ seconds; it agrees with the symptoms of it being fine for others and dog slow for others. I suspect by closing your browser you will join the end of the queue to get a connection again and you'll see a big performance crash.

    It's a good lead, anyway.

    Ok so what we're going to have to do is turn this into an elite cadre of 300 members and take the this is sparta boot to everyone else. My idea so I'm first member, everyone else send me your 300 line applications including preferred posting style and favourite article of clothing.

    Will speaking/emailing their tech support help?

    when the afl site opens in a flash & even bigfooty opens 3 x quicker than ours there's something not right.

    do others with telstra products/ISP's have the same problems with slow speeds?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
