There is the worst by far.

Trained monkeys could build a better website

    Fails badly on the simple test - how many clicks does it take to get to what you want

    When I used it for the first time earlier in the year I couldn't believe how hard it was to find the match centre/results page. 

    They used to have a nice graphic at the top of the homepage that showed each game for the round. Now it's this annoying pop-up that is not user friendly at all.

    Can't think of any.

    The Foxtel website, particularly the Foxtel Go side of things is probably one of the worst sites in the world. On Demand takes forever to get updated, TV guide doesn't even work.

    Perhaps we are not seeing it the way they do.

    The simple match score is the centre of the maze. First they want to drive us sheep into all the blind alleys that get their clicks (revenue) up.

    Its the worst website.  Totally unusable.  Its  the year 2020 and thats the sort of tripe they dish up for their customers.  Insulting really.

    I get all my Live scores, news and Stats from the Foxfooty website.  Everything is easily accessible and all the scores are right there at the top of the page.

    I especially like how it is a completely different process to get the broadcast details and the game details, and you can't have them open at the same time or go from one to the other directly.

    Also, as someone who can't watch that many games directly and enjoys playing with the stats to get an idea of what is going on in a game, I love the non-smooth horizontal scrolling and lack of heading-field retention in the player statistics.

    I'm nitpicking, but hey, it's the only way we'll cover everything.

    Ooh,  ooh, and I love how every freak'n week there's a new ever-so-related video with the fearless leader telling us how much he has the feels for

    I actually think that's a mess too. It has the scores easily accessible, okay, but it's way too busy on the right hand side of screen.

    Appalling website. The ladder says it all on how bad.

    It has a message after 8 position saying top 8 teams make the finals. I mean  really?

    Yeah its a mess alright, but at least you can see the scores, stats and ladder on the front page.

    Their current website has none of that.

    Couldn't agree more. It wasn't always this bad, in fact even a few years ago the site was fairly serviceable and somewhat intuitive. 

    Nowadays the home page layout confuses me, menus have become more and more obfuscated and generally speaking its clunky and difficult to find what you're looking for. And don't get me started on the tabloid style, fake outrage inducing and virtue signalling "news" from AFL media. 

    Foxsports is good for checking scores; for everything else, theres Demonland.

    I love the gigantic links to other articles featuring an image and massive bold headline that are littered throughout the article you are reading. First few times I encountered these I thought what happened to the article I was reading?? Until I learned to just keep scrolling and eventually you'll get to the next paragraph ?. A truly terrible website.

    But it does convey a Demon win over The Filth. Can't  be too bad!

    It's [censored] atrocious. Worst site I regularly have to visit.

    It should have the live match info stuff plastered across the homepage. I shouldn't have to navigate through menus to find it. Noone gives a [censored] about the rubbish articles they shove down your throat, we just want to see live scores and stats.

    Try just about any govenment services website, but that's hardly a fair comparison as these days, they are pretty much designed to fail to dissuade people from actually accessing the services they are there to provide.

    My current employer's intranet is also an absolute dog.

    Not defending the current AFL site by any means though.  The current one has gone backwards from what it was.  Biggest gripes for me are the several changes they have made to the match centre:

    1.  Removing scores from the banner up the top;

    2.  Only displaying the current day's matches rather than the whole round (i.e. requiring another button click to load the whole round);

    3.  Removing all the ticketing info off the match centre/game details pages.

    LOL nah, just did an image search for 'AFL website'.   Didnt expect to find one from 2007 that puts the current one to shame, but thats the AFL for you.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
