PC madness at it's best, God we all go on bloody tours of nazi gas chambers and killing fields whist in Germany, yet someone dresses as Hitler for a fancy dress party and the pitch forks come out. Far out, he was a real person, a f**k head and crazy campaigner, but it happened, move on.

People dress up as Mario and Luigi and those campaigners jump on animals heads and shit. Absolute scum of the highest order

Mario kart is surely encouraging kids to speed, should be banned.

It's absurd isn't it, such an obscene game. Such violence as well, deliberately causing crashes. Ridiculous.

And what about those poor farmers who grow the bananas, they just get thrown on the track like dirt! Atrocious.

What's crazy to me is that some of the same people who are brushing this off as nothing were the same ones who disdained him on the basis of his haircut of all things.

he does deserve to be ridiculed for his haircut though

Not really the same. I was one of them, and to me the thing that pissed me off was he just seemed to lack any enthusiasm on field, yet obviously took his appearance off field pretty seriously. Priorities of the modern footballer ay.

Its a bit like wearing brightly coloured footy boots - if you're going to draw attention to yourself best you perform or you just end up looking like a dick

Guys I dont think you understand it wasn't just a Nazi uniform, it was a really bad Nazi Uniform. Dude went to zero effort, we should expect more from professional footballers.

Haha i've been saying that for years. You're not allowed to wear flash footy boots when you play like a turnip Sharrod.

Now go put on a pair like the ones Glass and Emac wear and see how you go in 2015

These days you are a rebel if you just wear the plain black ones!

The only two groups that aren't able to appropriate the Nazi German uniform are actual Germans, actual Nazi's and those that didn't fight German or Fascist aggression.

Dom Barry quits AFL. Tough luck for Melbourne, he was highly rated.

Jurrah, Wonna, Frank, Barry - I wonder if it'll weigh on anyone's mind WRT Cockatoo?

Phil Walsh goes hard on his players in first training session at Adelaide.

Hartigan: “Turnovers did hurt us, so anything we can do to improve, such as making us do push-ups if you stuff up a kick or something like that will make you think about what you are doing and executing under pressure’’

Doubt it. By all accounts Cockatoo has a great attitude and is from a strong, supportive family.

On another topic, I'm putting all my money on the Bombers players getting a very, very light sentence, now that the AFL is in charge this whole thing for now.

I've been thinking about the whole situation. The AFL would never let basically an entire team get rubbed out for 2 years. They signed a billion dollar TV rights deal, which would have had very strict guidelines about how many games per week/year, if 1 team is gone for a chunk of a season, or a whole 1, imagine how much revenue the TV networks would lose by having 1 less game a week. They would likely sue the AFL for breach of contract. Plus all the money the AFL themselves would lose each week/season.

We all know none of that will ever happen, and they will come out with some weak excuse as to why the players are only getting a 2 month ban, missing some pre season training and the nab challenge games, and all will be rosy by round 1. I'm guessing the AFL were hoping this would all go away after they suspended the bombers from the finals in 2013, and hoped the court case against ASADA would mean the whole thing was null & void and we would all move on.

I'm glad ASADA have been so strong in the whole thing and haven't let the AFL walk all over them, and I hope if the AFL go soft, ASADA appeal and wipe them out for the maximum 2 years.

Rant over.

I don't know who is ultimately culpable, or how history is going to view this whole ordeal, but I'm just glad that the Eagles saga that broke in 2007 is no longer footy's biggest ever story.
