Is it just me or is this guy just a bit of amateur hour.

Jordie's sister did so well the other night and deserves the mantle.

Thoughts.....

 

What mantle?

Tad harsh, we're critisising club journos now?

The Mantle of being the club journo! :wacko:

 

Is she a journo?

I actually think he is painful to listen too. Cringeworthy for a professional organisation.

Does it matter that much?....Anyone can write a story...but being a articulate communicator is another thing, one which Matt is not.

Feel free to be constructive to the topic.

There's a bit of Andy Maher about him. But he asks the questions you expect of an inside reporter and writes well. I don't think he's in any danger. If we need to trim back on staff in our communications department then we might be an issue, but otherwise I'm still a Matty B fan.

LOL. So because I have a differing opinion to you I am not being constructive?

Present a constructive thread and I'll try to present you with some constructive feedback..

Till then, stay jolly Golly.

Where was your differing opinion?

You were being condesending but you get that here these days.

Why even bother posting if the thread is not to your liking :wacko: whatever :wacko:

have we seriously run out of Melbourne affiliates to "pay out on" on here?

It wasn't mean't to be a "payout" I think there are better people for the job.

But then again it is amateur hour.

We are currently going though change through all depts.

Give me one good reason why we shouldn't look to better ourselves and why it shouldn't be on the agenda.

That Bootstudder,,, Whats his name, Oh, they don't have studs U say?

Oh well, maybe we can take down the property steward instead?

"I only want to argue with people who agree with me."

Pretty boring.

I didn't agree with you, clearly this is a differing opinion. I was not being condescending at all actually.

And I'll have you know I post in threads that I like, and threads that I think are total horse manure. It's my right to choose.

Delete thread....This joints a joke

Ohhh don't get me started on the boot studder.... he is a real stick in the mud.....

Now that's a witty put down, Rhino Richards!

Your first post never offered a opinion.

It wasn't mean't to be a "payout" I think there are better people for the job.

I understand your point, and i agree with you in the sense that his interview skills leave a lot to be desired but the other media work he does is excellent and we usually have a constant flow of news coming out of the club. Perhaps he and the infamous 'Trumpeter' are related? :)

My opinion was it was a tad harsh, hence didn't really agree with you. Then you threw your rattle on the ground and started stamping your feet.

Get his words mixed up....has brain fades......how many times can a guy say ummmm and hang on to it in one interveiw.

The line of questioning is questionable and without emotion and basic elocution.

Interesting.

I thought Matt's line of questions for interviews including Neeld, all the B&F place getters were ok. He may have had a sherbet or two before the end of the B&F count, who knows ?

Personally, I think the club is lucky to have him. He's no Mal Walden, Peter Hitchener or Tony Jones for that matter. But he's a darn sight better than a Hutchy, better looking than Barrett and delivers better than Aami Parks from Aami Park !

:)

 

I like him. He's not a flashy media performer but he seems genuine to me.

He's not that comfortable infront of the camera yet, but he's light years ahead of Moloney and Green!

But he excels at being the club's beat writer, which is what he pretty much is.

Burgatron is alright by me.

I think we're lucky to have him.

    Melbourne’s early surge of optimism came crashing back to reality in its clash with Fremantle at Optus Stadium on Saturday night. Just six days after unveiling its fun-filled, attack-minded style against the Saints, the Demons were met by a Dockers outfit determined to shut it down with a blend of speed, pressure, and physicality.
