Should that be "and"?

The heading's been changed from the original grammatically incorrect heading and I say that with some positivity.

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.

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.

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...

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

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
