hope the boomers who built this website are reading this. Everything is a trek and is super slow navigating the multiple clicks to get anywhere. Need to start all over again. The news section is a nightmare. Match centre a debacle. Give it to a 15 yo STEM or IT student, pay them $1000 and they’ll have it up and running in a week.

im not sure the boomers who built the afl site understand the internet enough to know that places like this exist

still wont load for me. spinning wheel of death

 

[WillHayward]

My biggest gripe is the video function.
Always resets itself it to the start and makes you watch the same ads over and over.
Does not work with android phone

 

[MCG-Unit]

Constantly need to refresh lately, especially for images

 

[Billy ray]

ok, ive given up trying to load that video link i posted

No mention of the passing of the immortal Scot Palmer, further showing their total ignorance of our great games history.

 

[BallaratBulldog]

2022 and it’s still dog shit

 

[PetterdHoisted]

Symbolic of the game under Gills stewardship.

 

[Jim Levenstein]

I use it to access the radio coverage in the car and sometimes to check stats for punting purposes. Truly horrible user experience for news and videos.

No practice match video on the AFL website , just wall to wall aflw as far as the eye can see.

the more important the info, the easier it should be to find. it appears the time and effort has been spent getting visitors to click on more traditionally low traffic content instead of a smooth user experience. it's the web equivalent of the afl's understanding of the public thirst for the game and what they will endure to watch football - people are gonna visit the site for scores and find them anyway, may as well see what other useless shit we can get them to look at!
it's a year-on-year story of people getting frustrated at not being able to find the most basic information. complete shit.

I'm feeling generous today, 2/10

 

[Warwick]

Is there honestly a more user-unfriendly, slow, poorly designed website / app for a major sporting code?

Impossible to find the simplest content, overloaded with useless rubbish, takes an age to load, and the match day section just resigns itself now to not updating.

A billion dollar industry and this is the best they can offer?

 

[Atavistic]

I like how they have the scores up the top again, at least.

 

[EagleMan87]

I like how they have the scores up the top again, at least.

Except when the game blanks out and you can't even select it.

 

[BM123]

It is a mystery how the site is so much worse now than it was 10 years ago. I'm 95% sure that it was intentionally designed to be garbage.

 

[The Prosecutor]

The match centre is beyond cooked.
