What do people think.

I reckon it looks like crap.

Also, still has that stupid BigPond method of watching game replays. So Mac unfriendly. Typical of a company like Telstra BigPond.

Thank god I can boot up my Mac in Windows for the occassions I need to watch something on it. Now my only concern is remaining virus free whilst booted up in Windows!!

Let me know if you want me to upload my iCal Melbourne fixture for any Mac users out there.

I can't see any more from all the bright flashing ads...seriously can they fit anymore onto what was already a busy page??

Man, I hated the old one, but sort of got used to it. Is it really that hard to create an attractive webpage for footy? I feel like I'm going to get a migraine just from looking at it.

I really would have thought more people would have an opinion on the website.

I never really liked the old one, but this one is now ruining my morning and afternoon browsing. I find it so ugly. Another step backwards for BigPond!!

The MFC website is, as of today, a "clone" of the new AFL web site. I don't think it's better or worse than the original, they are both rather obscure in some of their navigation. It does look better graphically though.

(Already though I have one minor problem. If you're a Firefox user, it doesn't interpret the "strong" tag properly. So instead of getting bold "strong" type (e.g. "This is a Heading"), you literally get "<strong>This is a heading</strong>". It will be the way they've used URL escape characters instead of simple <> brackets. Poor programming.)

PS How come all the players were born at midnight? :D

The website is absolutely disgusting!

It doesn't even look like the Melbourne homepage.

I absolutely hate it.

I really liked the photo of the Leadership Group on the old site.

It's a shame they didn't make another one for the new site.

Love the new banner, hate the site.

I can't believe the MFC have cloned that rubbish website.

Typically with BigPond, it doesn't function on the native Mac browser Safari and I now have to use Firefox.

Fantastic! Ruined my entire surfing routine!!!!!

The MFC is not alone. All clubs (apart from Essendon), have done the same.

Apperantly Telstra pays us to have a horrible home page, and we're not exactly swimming in money to turn it down.

Nope, even essendons is like that...

www.bombersfc.com.au is the "cloned generic" site that the AFL link takes you to.

www.essendonfc.com.au is still the "real" site maintained by them.

Well now I cant see all at work 'cos they still have the older Flashmedia player or whetever its called and becuase its Defence, it porbably wont' be upgraded for some time.

Coaches keep on truckin'

I wonder if this attracted any interest from anybody because as far as I'm concerned, it has to be an early candidate for worthless article of the year.

yay that did nothing for me either

Is that the best our website can come up with

I reckon a year 10 student on work experience wrote that little gem.

I think the disappointment reflected in that article is consistent with the concerns about the new MFC website owned by Telstra. I have merged the topics.

Sadly, the MFC doesn't get to prepare or review all materials published on the site. Matt Burgan is not an MFC employee. The AFL main website contracts writers from groups like Sportal and then manages the upload of the content to the individual club sites. The MFC does not hold the quality control influence it could, if it was independent of the AFL's content contract.

Went to read the NAB and Challenge Cup squads and this is what I got "A critical error has occurred.

Transaction (Process ID 87) was deadlocked on lock resources with another process and has been chosen as the deadlock victim. Rerun the transaction."

Well done Telstra BigPond. In 2007 you can't even get a website to work. What a crap company.

hate on player!
