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!!!

    This is what I see when I load the homepage without scrolling or clicking anywhere...

    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: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
