AFL Website Goofs

Figured there should be a thread or this. Supposed to be the mot professional sporting body in Australia. Surely they could pay someone to proof the web site. Hell, I'd do it for not much.

Re: AFL Website Goofs

There's plenty of threads on this, and this'll probably be merged with one of them.

The site has layers of dumbness. On the weekend, the supposedly live scores near the top of the page didn't add up properly; e.g. 7 goals 13 behinds was 40 points.

In five years the site has improved (just) from appalling to laughable.

Please move mods, I should have searched. Dont get on the main board much, bit thought this was better suited to the main board than the Hawks board. Sorry.

A message to the afl.com.au programmers:

Please use the Ordinal Number Function:

Code: 
public static string GetOrdinal(int iNumber)
{
   string suf = "th";
   if (((iNumber % 100) / 10) != 1) //Handles 11, 12 & 13.  Only equals one if iNumber has a one in the ten digit.
   {
      switch (iNumber % 10) //Returns digit in the 1 column to evaluate.
      {
         case 1:
            suf = "st";
            break;
         case 2:
            suf = "nd";
            break;
         case 3:
            suf = "rd";
            break;
      }
   }
   return iNumber.ToString() + suf;
}

This would fix your 11st and 12nd bug!

Or they could just us the date() function that would automatically format the date.
 
No site has been so bad for so long. It seriously is beyond a joke.

What kind of monkeys make mistake after mistake after mistake? April 12nd? Really?

I would not expect such stupidity from an idiot, that is, someone with an IQ below 20.

You would have to look far and wide to find idiots of the calibre that put together afl.com.au.

How does anyone in a senior position look at the end result and say "Good job"?

Are these idiots they keep employing getting fired?

Say you won't be drinking Carlton again until it has been replaced with something that quickly and reliably works.

And while your at it tell them you won't purchase their product while the advertise on Ch.7's delayed and overall appalling coverage of our game
 
Sitting here in Dubai and surprise, surprise the AFL website Match Centre for the Gold Coast v Port game isn't working.
Five rounds into the season and have not seen a weekend where it works properly.
The AFL are continually on about profits etc. maybe one day they could spend a little on their website.........

Gold Coast's website has fallen over moments after their maiden win. Can servers die of surprise?

This and Essendon's website are the best in the league. Love how the Bombers took a stand a few years ago and went their own way with their website. The AFL tried to save face with their "BombersFC" official website but it had absolutely no content and sucked. Now unfortunately they have caved and the Bigpond header and footer is on the EssendonFC website. Still love it though, their Bomber TV service is excellent for anyone who is a Dons supporter.

"It means Richmond might sit inside the top eight at the conclusion of round seven."

Sunday 12:26AM

http://www.afl.com.au/ladder/tabid/74/default.aspx

Richmond v Fremantle game has still not been added to the ladder. Typical incompetence as expected. And there has been a flow on effect. The two main AFL apps for iPhone (Footy Live and Footy Lite), have also not updated the ladder for this game.

However, the AFL site, and the AFL apps have updated their ladder for the Gold Coast v Brisbane match.

Seems like incompetence is contagious.
