I simply cannot believe that the Fremantle players have nothing better to do than resort to these antics - Dockers deny Ku Klux Klan controversy . The club is denying that the offending outfits are Klan uniforms ("Malaxos had simply got his description of the costume wrong") but please give us all a break!

If the Dockers players are focussing on this sort of behaviour, they're in big trouble.

Who cares, any team that wears purple and has an anchor as a mascot deserves to be laughed at!

Blown out of proportion I think. Nothing wrong here.

Boy will be boys, but then again Prudes will be prudes

Tell that to the Press and NM and asked them about the implications of such stupidity.

You miss the point if you are blind sided by the issue of being "blown out of proportion".

Mind you if there is even a small prank involving the KKK or such imagery, it just shows a huge hole in the maturity and thinking within the Club.

Happy to wait on the facts but it does no one involved any favours when this sort of stuff hits the press. As usual, the Press will dine out on this one as they do all of them.

Are you serious?

These morons are 0-4, and instead of concentrating on their football, they are pulling stupid stunts? It doesn't matter what they were dresses as, the point is, they are idiots to have embroiled their club in controversy... or perhaps it's a diversion tactic from their terrible on-field performances?

If I was a Docker supporter I would throw my membership, and several sharp objects, at the club and walk away. Fremantle are just lucky that they have loyal fans and a good financial base. Imagine if they were a Victorian team, they'd be out on their arse in no time.

That club is an embarrassment to our great game!

Stupid is as stupid does.......

Fremantle Dockers players disprove Ku Klux Klan claims with photo evidence

There is no malice in this, just poor taste.

Bock dishing out the Irish sunglasses ought to be of much greater concern, but even then I think these things should be matters for the courts, not for the AFL.

No doubt, what Bock did is criminal.

However, Bock's behaviour does not reflect on the AFC, just as Sylvia's stupidity is not a reflection on our club.

Given that this Freo thing involves a large number of players just speaks volumes about the state of that club.

Ummm... ok

I'm sorry but is Des Headland really in Freo's leadership group? Oh my!

And if you know your players are idiots, why go and make it publicly known on radio??

That's what you call "damage control".

*yawn

Just saw a story about it on the news, along with the picture. Pretty stupid thing for a struggling club to get involved in.

I care about this about as much as I do for the rest of that organisation

Double yawn.

Fremantle & Port Adelaide should never have been given a license to join the AFL. It is a disgrace. Both will become "Basket Cases" within 10 years particularly Port.

I will put my house on the fact that we WONT be getting the priority pick this year.

Freo will completely bottom out. (in more ways than one)

What happens if we finish with 4 wins but freo is last?

what pics do we get then?

They looked more like a cross between caspar the ghost and Lawrence of Arabia than the KKK

Another non-issue blown out of proportion by the embarassment that is the Australian media.

It's not a non-issue Y_M, it's massive news.

Two twenty year olds dressed up in white sheets and white masks and knocked on their friends' doors.

Massive

True.

I rate this up there with the Boxing day tsunami, 9/11, the capture of Saddam Hussein and Chicken-gate.
