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 dont think its worse... but www.conjunctivitis.com is a site for sore eyes.

 

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

Supercoach app is pretty bad. Although your right the AFL website is bad.

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.

all done by telstra........that explains a lot

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 REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
