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...

 

still in the team this week. will be watching on tele this week though. 857

Go Jack....

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?

You're excused.

But it still isn't irony.

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.


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

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.

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

nice call.

She probably wouldnt have argued the point as hard either.

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

We agree on something B)


I love...... lamp..

I almost choked. Thank your for expressing everything I couldn't. I need a few deep breaths..... You da man Steve

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.

Back on topic...

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.

 

Something different:

melbourne et watts optimus sunt

lets hope:

watts to the press "Veni Vidi Vici"

  • CASEY: UWS Giants

    The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

  • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?
