Now now pringle, no need to shout. I think you might need a little lie down. The JW hysteria is starting to get to you.

Please forgive me for not looking at all 23 pages to see whether anyone else had made note of the 'broken record' thread that this is.

Sorry Artie. I do need a lie down. Just seen the same post so many times it was getting old. Fair enough though. If you hadn't read it (and lord knows it would be hard to do so), you wouldn't know.

but my point remains. People should be able to post what they want. This is an open forum. And as Guns n' Roses once said, to all those who oppose... well...

That isn't irony...

Verbal.

Verbal irony is a trope in which the intended meaning of a statement differs from the meaning that the words appear to express.

Situational.

Situational irony involves an incongruity between what is expected or intended and what actually occurs.

Literature.

a technique of indicating, as through character or plot development, an intention or attitude opposite to that which is actually or ostensibly stated.

b.

(esp. in contemporary writing) a manner of organizing a work so as to give full expression to contradictory or complementary impulses, attitudes, etc., esp. as a means of indicating detachment from a subject, theme, or emotion.

Excuse me?

I'll forgive your confusion of irony as it is a very common problem.

Then by all means, dumb it down for us. Your quote out of the dictionary didn't help any.

I'm with rpfc, that ain't irony.

OK Reims I'll spell it out for you - posting to say there are too many posts relates directly the first defintion of irony as previously posted. Oh but that's right, your argument is somehow above the most accepted source of defintion for terms of the english language, being the dictionary.

Might have been listening to Alanis Morrisette, she doesn't know what it is either

And you gh obviously have no understanding of poetic licence...

Oh boy. Now you are going to make e look like some kind of 'elitist who uses language as a weapon' to paraphrase a previous topic. Which I'm not in this case, irony is an extremely 'tricky' (pun intended) thing. People make mistakes with it on a daily basis including myself. Just ask my brother who delights in pointing out my foibles.

But correct me if i'm wrong Arthur Dent, I'm fairly certain he intended his post to have the meaning his words expressed. "Haven't we all said enough already?" It's a subtle thing I know but also not ironic.

But anyway, boring, move on.......

Jack Watts is gonna be like super great I reckon

I too found it rather ironic that while AD was complaining about the size of the thread and stating in large font the number of posts, he was actually contributing one more to that number.

Anyway, I am looking forward to seeing how Jack can perform tonight with Miller there to hopefully take some of the heat off him. Regardless of what we think of him, I think there is a general perception in the footballing world that Miller can be a dangerous forward, so Port will have the dilemna of who to man up on, Miller or Watts. Hopefully he can boot a few this time.

Yes Hardtack, the irony was not lost on me as I posted it. Oh and look, I've just done it again... B)

Well AD, if you are going to survive this thread, I hope you know where your towel is ;) Thanks for all the fish.

Any idea how young Jack goes in the wet?

I'm excited to see how he goes in the humidity when the pill is like a bar of soap.

I reckon he'll go out and handle it like he's in the prison showers.

Not sure if this may help, but the day I watched him at Casey the ground was wet & muddy (sunny day)... He ended up with 4-2.

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
