R1 22 2022 - Bring it on

I disagree, Meg with respect. Just check out the player profile info for example. Some have not been updated for 2-3 years. And that is on the Swans. I have contacted Swans on numerous occasions directly to CEOs requesting the player profiles be reviewed each season and was advised they would commit to doing so. I feel this is disrespectful to the players. The player pics at the beginning of the season are done centrally by AFL I agree and player info is done by stats company whose name escapes me. Many clubs are proactive more than the Swans. So there is player content that the Swans can do themselves but they don't. And it's worse now because clubs are down staff including online / digital staff. So the Swans can do better

Oh I quite agree that the Swans player profiles are badly out of date. My point was that I have found in the past that other clubs’ sites share the same problem and a quick check on the Crows site today identified a similar issue.

From that I had concluded updates were done centrally, something Wolftones seemed to confirm.

If however you are correct that the club can update this section of their digital presence, then I will happily return to criticising them for not doing so!

There must be a heap of fans with digital skills; the Swans should perhaps call for some volunteer assistance.

Volunteer, would be great to be involved in the club doing this type of stuff. Stick your hand up Meg :-)
