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.

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.

Blown out of proportion I think. Nothing wrong here.

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? :rolleyes:

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!

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.

true.

Poor Pavlich.

Ummm... ok :unsure:

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?? :o:wacko::unsure::lol:

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?

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.

True.

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

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out
