AFL & Swans Websites

[Triple B]

This morning it was completely dead.

That would make it just a little slower than normal then.

Pretty much. But showed a lot less content.

Pretty much. But showed a lot less content.

Less ads...cool.

Is it working for anybody else? It isn't for me at the moment. Can't they get this pathetic site right for once?

I've been having trouble getting Game Day to load with this year's version of the website. It's very frustrating.

I love it when you click on the game details you wish to look at and you get another game.

Keep up the excellent work AFL/Telstra!!!

Telstra as a whole is frustrating. I got a phone call from a Telstra representative yesterday, and believe me, I should have said no thanks, and hung up from the start.

She was an annoying woman.

Ditto everything said above. Is there a Brownlow for "Worst Web Site Ever"????

I've just ponied up a subscription to the AFL site and after two weeks I've seen zippo.

If there is a just God, Andy D will spent eternity in the company of Sol Trujillo and the AFL video site.

I will preface this by saying I don't use afl.com.au for any audio/video content, so can't comment on performance issues related to that.

What I have realised is that the front page sucks due to soooo many flash (or whatever they are) sections. Thus I avoid this and work through the links in the navbar where the pages load much quicker and at least make the site bearable.

What really is terrible about the site is that the front page is sooooo bandwidth intensive and yet there is no option for a slower connection speed view of the same page which would cut out the need for all that crap to load all the time.

Is the AFL website working for anybody else right now?

[Glenn]

Seems to be ok (as ok as the site can be)

[Bob Neil]

It's a magnificent site
Actually just loaded at 0.6 MB. I'm sure it's sometimes 2-3 MB (maybe GameDay crap?).
I love conspiricies so think the AFL had it designed to make it cause sizable downloads, to BigPondscums' satisfaction.

I have been really disillusioned with the official AFL sites, especially now they have been filled up with more Flash and ads. It seems their main purpose is an advertising campaign for Bigpond and a way of getting customers by monopolising the video clips. I wish the Swans would have an independent site. Thanks for RWO.

Anyone else having trouble with these today... or has my work corrupted them on me... ??

[Seagoon]

I hate the afl websites - they are slow and overloaded with ads. The game replays should be free to anyone, not just the pour sods who are unfortunate enough to have a bigpond connection...
