They've redone the website, but god is it bad. Do these people know anything about web design? It's difficult to navigate through, especially if you're not familiar with the internet and in parts it looks like a home-made website. What the hell?

    I would have said from absolutely-terrible to even worse. Painfully slow to load then with so much Flash to cope with won't execute scripts. It should have been re-built from scratch as a source of information rather than something which is committed to squeezing dollars out of people.

    If you had told me this time last year that the site would be less user-friendly in 2008 than 2007, i wouldn't have believed you.

    On first inspection it looks like a 'work experience kid' designed site, but there is not a chance in hell that a 15 year old kid could design something that poor. It's a shame really that something we love is insulted like this.

    It's the AFL's own site... You would think that other leagues and codes would be secondary, but nooo.... The NRL one works better.

    Shameful.

    I get the same thing. Sometimes it finished on that, sometimes it takes a few seconds to load. Believe me, that first appearence is better then what you're subjected to when it fully loads. How embarrassing.

    I'm having the same problems! Can ANYONE tell me how I can get live scores. It was very straight forward last season. Thanks ANYONE.

    You may bypass the Flash bottleneck with the following direct link to Game Day Live.

    It's a terrible, terrible site and strangely enough it's built on an open source platform Dot Net Nuke which explains the 15 yo work experience comment earlier in this thread. Just forget about it and go to the herald sun's footy site.

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.
