    I don't like to bag the Burger since he means well and has a tough job at times but surely PJ can afford an editor for the website.

    I know what he's trying to say, and I welcome the message but "progressing positivity"?

    http://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/2014-02-05/clark-progressing-positivity-misson

    This was discussed in the Mitch Clark's Foot topic... and I am not so sure it is actually a grammatical error.

    Edit: I take that back. Just checked the article and noticed the heading says "positively" and the body text says "positivity"... perhaps it was written on an iPad and he is a victim of the dreaded Apple spell-checker.

    However, the term "progressing positivity" can be also correct and could be applied in this case. For example, Clark's progress with his foot could be progressing positivity at the club.

    It is not grammatically incorrect, it just doesn't make sense.

    Yeah.... I edited my post - obviously while you were posting :-)

    A language in which it's possible to "progress positivity" is just waiting to be flushed away.

    I agree

    I also think MB does a good job considering

    - It must be extremely difficult to do his job when the subject matter has been worse than Crap for two years

    - Political limitations on Club sites.

    News Limited and Fairfax need editors, I see so many grammatical errrors in the major newspapers its just embarrassing

    And another point to this ludicrous topic - this is the new PJ era as CEO, football is our core business not promotional videos and articles because no matter how well they are written and produced they wont sell as many memberships or get people to games like wins will. I'd love us to have the biggest and best media and communications team in the AFL but first we need the best coaches and fitness staff.

    Can I please add 'the best players"?

    Why do people get so offended when others point out spelling and grammatical errors?

    It's just a bit of fun pointing it out. There's no need to add malice to our intentions, Burgan does a great job, I found it odd and funny and related to the Demons. Hence...

    Should that be "and"?

    I am not bitching about spelling or grammar. It just makes no sense.

    I'll put it another way: We've been enough of a laughing stock these past two years. Can't we at least get something right?

    I think we have got a lot of things right over the last three months.

    Just take a deep breath no one is perfect.

    It's a spelling mistake. Seriously. Close thread.

    Just walk away....

    Careful Burgan.. There is a young bloke known as Tas breathing down your neck.

    Don't know about that.

    His training reports are great to read to get a supporter's point of view, but not at all suitable for the role Burgan fills.

    Clubs tend to not look for frothing fanboys in any case.

    ...as long as Jones N, Cross, Tyson, et al know how to spell "win the clearances' we will be fine........I am positivity astounded that this warranted a thread...........pity you never got the opportunity to read "the Guardian" newspapers in the 70's you would have had a field day

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
