One thing that annoys me about the Bulldogs website is the lack of information we sometimes get and how often the info that is supplied is incorrect or out of date. Websites are one of the best forms of communications these days and reaches a very wide potential audience as you all know.
One of the great attractions of following a footy club is catching up on the latest info on players. Whether it be statistical or just general info we can't seem to get enough of it. Finding out information on new recruits and draftees especially can sometimes be very difficult. But our club seems to make it impossible.
Check out the player profile on premier club Brisbane's site on their 1st draft pick Jared Brennan;
http://lions.com.au/default.asp?pg=players&spg=playerprofile&personid=125259
now compare that with the profile on Tim Walsh on our site;
http://westernbulldogs.com.au/default.asp?pg=players&spg=playerprofile&personid=125273
The comparisons are the same for all the other draft picks. The Lions provide plenty of useful and insightful information while ours gives practically nothing. Also the Lions recruits are already photographed in their club jumpers, ours are not. We have already begun playing footy this year yet we still have profiles of Bartlett, Rusca et al on the site.
This sort of thing makes an impression on people and my impression on the Lions are they are incredibly professional in just about everything. Surely we should be trying to follow suit.
I don't like to bag the club normally but I think this is a pretty poor effort as it surely wouldn't take too much to get some half decent info and some pics cobbled together. I reckon it would take less than 1/2 a day for someone to write up some interesting profiles and get an old box browny out for the snaps.
Someone said on here recently the club should at least be getting the simple things right. They were right.
