Where was I ultra defensive, all I referred to was your misuse of the term irony. Your poor analogy proves you still don't get it.
I'll dumb it down for you.
If I made a comment such as "Willo Tree is an intelligent and thoughtful poster" when I really thought you were a clueless moron that would be me using irony.

Not really to me that's sarcasm. The difference is Irony has a critical element of humor. Sarcasm, and I use it a lot, is henerally more contemptuous.
The King!
Chosen One
must still be on the gear judging by our last game
I'm thoroughly disgusted by this.
Not the drug use but the fact that the result of the 2012 Grand Final is brought up again.

You don't think the OP was attempting irony? Either in your 'cut n paste' definition, or English usage? Fits both pretty well if you ask me. Anyway, you seem to be very upset, so I'll leave it here. I posted some humour which you obviously took serious offence at, so I apologise.

Win or lose we hit the loos
Did anyone see the pic of Hannebery on day 1 at the Saints. He looked Skinny.
And that's exactly the way it should work. Good on 'em

I said the same thing to a Sydney mate. Went down just about as well as when a drunk and high driver hit his parked car (which also got us onto another topic).
He's off the beers again and has gone vegan over the pre-season.
Collingwood won a flag in 2010 and swearing by the 'benefits' of going annually to Colorado for high altitude training. Then, despite their success, they suddenly halted that yearly pilgrimage where men came back muscled up (cue the famous Buckley photo). Daddy: " why did they stop if it was so successful?"
Dunno son, maybe they just ran out of money.

Otherwise known as Judas (not Iscariot). Son of James.
Now your demonstrating an example of hyperbole.
Well as I recall the whole recreational drug code was foisted on the AFL as part of Johnnie Howard's war on drugs, which he in turn had lumbered on him by the Americans. I mean what other occupation has mandatory drug testing imposed on them when their job doesn't impact on public safety? Journalists? Politicians? Talk back shock jocks? Not bloody likely.
Bullshit.....it may have improved but totally new is a fantasy.
Taking recreational drugs is the done thing for a large number of AFL players, particularly in the off-season.
They are young, fit, seemingly bulletproof & have high disposable income.
IE; the demographic that smash recreational drugs.
FACT - A number of Westcoast players were openly doing lines of coke whilst celebrating at The Emerson after this years Grand Final.
