Websites Worse than the AFL's

Yeah I'm with you, not a fan at all. With the fixture being updated all the time now I made the choice to rely on the AFL site instead of just typing in Google as it may not have had the absolute latest info. Well even that simple command was like pulling teeth, pull up the fixture and expect to have to scroll down for eternity because the proportions are too darn big!

Then you got the video and media section, the part that they constantly ram down your throat when you don't even want it. Well try going on there to find a video you'd heard about and want to see, enough said.  

Slightly more minimal sites are the way to go these days, no need to make the menu bar 3 times bigger than it needs to be.

    The ladder and fixture sections work well.

    Obviously they are working on changing them for next season in order to improve the user experience ?

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

    Supercoach is shocking this year.  How bloody hard is it to find the leagues your in...  Not that fantasy team interface is any better.  

    Problem with lots of interfaces is they start of great but "features" get added to. "improve' our experience.  Simple is best.  Nice clean designs.

    Awful, although i'm pretty fickle these days. If i can't get what i want from a website in 5 seconds i hit the x button and rarely go back. 

    I use footy live app for scores stats and the information powerhouse 'Demonland' for all my footy news...

    Yeah they will be removing them completely.

    Heres their website from THIRTEEN YEARS AGO!

    Everything you need right here on the front page with one click.

    Confusing. They say the primary reason for Google’s success where Yahoo failed was and is the simplicity of the UI. Only one thing you can do: search.

    There is one?

    Having said that I am an avid motoring devotee.

    Some car company sites are next to impossible to navigate. I always get the feeling that the designers of some sites are  out of touch with 90% of the population, they have no idea how the average person thinks. The worst two car sites IMO are Volvo and Audi, perhaps my brain does not think well in German and Swedish.

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

    You're not going to like the incontinence hotline, either. Every time I call they say "Please hold".

    couldn't agree more QBD - just went on to see our INS and OUTS ... they are both blank.  Thankfully, I hold an MBA, so I was able to deduce that there are no changes - does this include the emergencies?  Who knows!

    BTW, the MBA was from a poorly rated joint in the remote parts of the world!!!

    it's a disgrace Hellish

    But Hell, it ain't a bad place to be - especially when the Demons are winning

    Can't think of any.

    and when you go into to look for a player's bio on the various clubs sites - half of them don't have any background info, nor up to date stats!

    larfable!

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
