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!

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
