AFL website - from bad to absolutely terrible

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.

in all honesty i didnt realise they still had a website. whe i type www.afl.com.au into my browser i get a page that has listed the 16 clubs and their websites and another link to 'www.afl.com.au' and a link to toyota aurion. i cant find any other info!

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.


the sites r shite !! diabolically slow .. obviously done by wanky tossers with no idea of the meanings of words like

'access" and "delivery speed"
