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 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

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.

Is that the best our website can come up with

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

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.

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the
