I know he loves a wild hairstyle, but changing his face is next level

Before anyone says it that stuff is run by someone the AFL hires and it's not something the club controls.

Cool. It's on the CLUB WEBSITE.

Yep.. you would like to think someone at the club validates the information is correct and if it isn't, they get it rectified ASAP.

[Grantysghost]

It would all be pulled from the one data base.

Someone has made an error obviously, however the club would have little control.

Best we could do is feed back to the AFL webmasters and they'll fix it up.

Worth messaging the club with the info as it may not have been picked up. It wouldn't flag as an error automatically.

I mentioned it on twitter to club.

Funny thing is if you go to the West Coast site, they use a different picture of Bailey Williams

Well, when you give UP control then you lose control.

I get annoyed by stuff like this - particularly the whole "There is nothing they can do...". Well, how about taking control of your own website and taking responsibility for what's on it. Personally, I think having the 'right' images of our players on the site is important and whilst I get you might outsource the updates you shouldn't outsource the CONTENT.

They can do something, they have to notice it first (well done bad) then contact the service owner to get it rectified.
I actually prefer this setup as you have the one source of truth and you get consistency across the league.
It also kind of makes sense financially for the clubs.

I'll be interested to see how quickly it's fixed though. This is where the system is tested.

But the one source of truth is wrong.

This thread certainly points out who works in IT and who does not.

It's just a mistake and a more alert person ie a footy person would have realised that the jumper alone wasn't a Western Bulldogs one.
As GG mentioned the real test is now that the club is aware of it how long it takes to get rectified.

I know from experience working closely with a lot of IT staff over the years that from their perspective they were tasked with loading a image of Bailey Williams and that task was completed.

I don't work in IT, but I don't put the blame for this on the club at all. Many years ago now the AFL took control of all the club websites - it's poor, but an extremely inconsequential mistake that can hopefully be fixed quickly and easily.

I think the fact the draftees still don't have images is worse than this silly little booboo.

Hi Michael, thanks for that! We were made aware of the annoying change. Unfortunately Champion Data does the player headshot updates and not us so we're currently working with them to have that error rectified.
