I'm pleased to read that I'm not the only mere mortal who absolutely HATES that website!  An absolute abomination!

    It's a mess. One of the issues that annoys me is the 'round centre' pop-up, that I assume is what they think sufficiently replaces the need to have clickable fixture/results at the top of the page.

    When you click on that pop-up each day of the round is on a separate tab, so first of all if you don't know what day the game is on that you're looking for you need to click on each tab to find it. But even worse is the scrolling function. When there is more than 2 games on a day you need to scroll down to find the right game. To do this there's an unbelievably thin red bar that is counter intuitive to use. I've seen interfaces where a thin scroll bar becomes normal thickness when you hover the cursor near it. Nah, not here. Bloody hopeless

    So many user problems.

    Another is that to find stats you have to go to the match reports.

     The button for that is on right side, but for some reason I often click on the match video button, on the left side.

    Which is my issue i guess. The problem is you can't navigate back by clicking the back arrow, as is the case on 90% of Windows. 

    You have to close the video windows first, then click back. And the button is hidden in the top right corner of a black screen

    Yep, so many of the issues are due to not having the horizontal band at the top of the site which used to show every game of the round at once, be clickable to get to the match centre if the game was live, or be clickable afterwards to get to the match report that included stats. So literally one click for all these results.

    Followed the bulldogs game last night via the AFL app on my phone.

    Would usually do it on the website using my laptop.

    The app was much better in that comments are provided along with goalkickers etc compared to the web where you only have the timeline

    strange that they are so different

    • 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.

      The Demons come face to face with St. Kilda for the second time this season for their return clash at Marvel Stadium on Sunday. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • 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.
