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.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

    Had to shoulder more responsibility as the club’s injury concerns deepened but needs to step up more as he closes in on 100 games. Date of Birth: 31 May 2000 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 21 Career Total: 95 Goals MFC 2024: 6 Career Total: 34 Games CDFC: 1 Goals CDFL: 0

    2024 Player Reviews: #35 Harry Petty

    Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.

    2024 Player Reviews: #40 Taj Woewodin

    The son of former Demon Brownlow Medalist Shane, Taj added a further 16 games to his overall tally of games but a number were as substitute. He is slowly fitting into the team structure but without doing anything spectacular and needs to take further steps forward in 2025 for his career to progress.

    The clever small was unable to cement a place in the Melbourne midfield and spent most of his time this year with the Casey Demons where he finished equal fourth in its best & fairest.

    Bowey’s season was curtailed early when he sustained a shoulder injury that required surgery in the opening game against Sydney. As a consequence, he was never able to perform consistently or at anywhere near his previous levels.  Date of Birth: 12 September 2002 Height: 175cm Games MFC 2024: 14 Career Total: 61 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total: 6
