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: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
