Find Matt Burgan an editor

OMG this is a tradgety, my days stuffed !

 

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"?

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 :-)

Clark's progress with his foot could be progressing positivity at the club.

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

 

Geeezzz......We need the footy to start if we're all bitching about spelling and grammar.....We all know what he meant.....some here need to lighten up....

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"?


reminds me of the krudster's better moments LOL

"detailed programmatic specificity…”

...surely PJ can afford an editor for the website.

Seems like he already has one...

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

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....

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

 

This is unacceptable! Sack the bored!

But more seriously, it is a bit of a newspeak clanger.

This is the worst thread i have ever seen

Even worse than some of the threads i have made
