Our first real hitout was on Saturday night, and there is still no report on the Storm Official Website!!! This website has really, really dropped off
Storming our way to glory!

Doesn't take long to cut and paste a Herald - Sun report and credit it. :( 2 minutes absolute tops.
It'd only take 5 to write one from scratch and put it there.

A far cry from the days when it was rated the top sports website in Oz. :?

I sure hope they aren't paying tons of money for the site.

Karl deKroo writes for the Herald Sun, the Herald Sun is owned by News Ltd, Storm are owned by News Ltd. Why don't they put his articles up on the website?

While it seems odd that they can't even list the score, it isn't the only official club website with no account (not even a score!) of the trial match just played.

I am certain that most clubs employ the wrong people to run their websites ... being the Rugby Legaue forum addict that I am I am aware that fans who have a very good computer knowledge and are quite capable to running websites are on the net 24/7. As such they could offer up to the minute news on the club. I get the impression that some clubs rather hire professional website creators rather than highly computer literate fans. This means the news reports muct be given to ta third party to be updated and as a result the official sites lag behind the unoffical forums such as this.

I have to agree, I'm trying convice acouple of companies to stay corpoate members of the club and yet there is now update of the new players, and they can't evern get some of the companies names correct.

Now before people complain. Two of these organisations spend close two 200,000 with AFL club and would transfer some (if not all) of that money towards our club and sport.

Lets hope the website is update quickly

According to the Website the team is still on the end of season trip, and the poll is the same one from about 4 months ago about how we went last season! How shocking.

I just went to the 'membership page' http://www.melbournestorm.com.au/newmember.php & in the firefox browser it appears on my PC as white text on white background ie: invisible text :oops:
Just to check I tried the IE browser..........Purple background - white text..................No problem.

Anyone else find this with Firefox or other browsers ?
