Will use this new app little.

Too "overdone" 

Has no one ever learnt KISS  ffs

Agreed there was nothing wrong with the old one, ease of use, believe it or not I work for a company who uses software first built in the 80's  it does what it is supposef to so they just update the user front end each Windows   their attitude it ain't broke

I love the general look and feel of the new app, but it is all a bit too busy. I would rather less volume and better content than to be flooded with half-arsed articles that say nothing, interviews with players who say nothing, and a sea of almost identical red and blue images. The old app was clearer and a better communication tool. The worst part is it is constantly crashing on my tablet, saying "MelbourneFC app needs to close".

I agree with the KISS comments above - effective simplicity always wins the day.

As for the younger person who said old people are so cute... if you get to your 50's you are going to feel an absolute dick for even thinking that.

As I said early the best info comes from Demonland IMO it does not have the same level of political speak/ censorship  as the MFC site.

But it may sell the information to agencies for a profit (a last we'll be in the black!)

If you're using the internet on your home connection, which has your name, address and details connected to the IP, if someone wants it, they can get it. Complaining about an app from a licensed professional sports team is just silly.

That may be, but the sad fact is that I doubt you and I are in their target demographic ...

Quite possible ....probable  !!

For mine if nothing else the app doesn't scale well on the phone. It's clumsy..  I'm reasonably able on a phone,for an old phart , the app is poor.

If clubs lose sight of the value of paid up members they have lost the plot.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
