hmmm thats interesting, wonder if there actually is anything in it

Who cares if they are running around with sheets on their head, who didn't do that when they were kids. Notice it's the "young kids" too, at least they are bonding.

Interesting. Obviously there is substanially more to the audio than the bit Simon played, because from what I heard there was absolutely no story there.

Where would you get KKK clothing from these days? Does anybody else get the feeling that this is going to be linked with the Ronnie Burns story about racism in the club?

Probably, the only people who would likely care about this shit are the people who don't like AFL. Anyone who likes violence is hard enough to handle some joke about running around in sheets. It's the people who give "wearing a sheet" so much value that actually help spread the racism. Joking about it removes the negativity I feel.

Malaxos, what a dunce.

Klans West, Calvin Klan and FCUKlan all do a good range, I find.
Hopefully the (Grand) Wizard wasn't involved.

Biggest beat up of a story I've ever heard - you think Simon Beaumont would find out if it even happened first before he makes an enormous issue of it - wonder if it would even be a story if it wasn't Freo. I'm sure we will soon hear all the derogatory emails and sms's.

 

[Ripper]

The club is getting smarter. Sat Nights dismal performance and the "sack Harves shit"will not get much of a run now.

This thing is gaining legs

http://www.news.com.au/perthnow/sport/afl/story/0,26633,25364535-5014938,00.html

FREMANTLE has become embroiled in a fresh controversy after it was revealed players are dressing up as members of the Ku Klux Klan.

Just as the AFL recovers from North Melbourne's 'chickengate' affair, explosive comments were made by Fremantle player development manager Steve Malaxos while speaking on local Perth radio station SportFM.

Malaxos was originally asked about a prank that involved a player altering the club's training schedule to include a 3km time trial, which even conned some of the assistant coaches to set up the markers for the drill before they realised it was a joke.

Malaxos then revealed the prank about players dressing in Ku Klux Klan-like gear and raiding each others houses.

However, although his original comments made it to air, the Ku Klux Klan bit was edited out of t he podcast on the SportFM website.

The Ku Klux Klan, also known as the KKK, is a white supremacist organisation which has a record of violence towards African Americans, Jews and other minorities.

The controversy is the last thing Fremantle needed after their 0-4 start to the season, which has heaped pressure on coach Mark Harvey.

Kangaroos pair Daniel Pratt and Adam Simpson were fined $5000 each over the chicken sex video scandal that made its way onto video sharing website YouTube earlier this month.

Is malaxos some kind of ****ing idiot? Seriously... is he like ******ed or something? Sack him. He is useless anyway, he is supposed to be incharge of development - he seems to be an expert in players going backwards, which ironically was about the same level of pace he displayed on the field.

 

[Lach72]

Yes my first thought was: What a knob.
Then, well this will kick us in the nuts, really over nothing

 

[Stronzo]

Culture?

 

[bluey1314]

Its a shame you guys have idiots running the club. Malaxos is an absolute d**khead. What was he thinking?? and Harvs is useless as a coach.

Went through the Freo list and there is genuine talent and depth.In my opinion, anything less than a top 8 finish would be dissapointing...Unfortunately i dont think they will ever get there under Harvey.

Dockers deny Ku Klux Klan prank

Tim Clarke, WA Today | April 21, 2009 - 12:43PM

The Fremantle Dockers deny their players have been impersonating Ku Klux Klan members during night-time pranks - despite a senior coach making the claim on a local radio station

Speaking on SportFM over the weekend about practical jokes among players, Dockers player development coach Steve Malaxos claimed some members of the squad had been dressing up in similar garb to the American white supremacist group to prank other players.

After the controversial comments emerged, it was then discovered the radio station in question had posted the section of the "Talking Dockers" program on their website - minus the portion in which Malaxos made the statement.

A spokesman for the Dockers refused to comment immediately, but WAtoday.com.au understands the club's position is that while pranks may have been going on, Malaxos' description of them may have been inaccurate.

 

[RoJo Junior]

Hahahahaha hilarious!

 

[Quinz]

Oh man Malaxos is going to get so pranked!

Interesting comments. You are either Wallsy, or you live in a glass house.

 

[Cameron_K]

Seriously how stupid is Malaxos?

Will be interesting to see the fall out from this, personally I don't see the problem but I couldn't with the chicken incident either.

 

[Stronzo]

I just can't believe they're playing up like this when we're getting absolutley reamed in every facet of the game.

And read the article attached to it, and draw your own conclusions...

Makes me laugh that it took 4 days to come to light... good old 6PR...

I'll take odds that this will be the lead story in the 6pm news on Channel 7 tonight... C10 will mention it during their sports report as a matter of pointing out it's a nothing story... Thommo will ask Pav about it on the C9 news, and he'll make light of it...

All fun and games on a typical Tuesday...

Malaxos is another in the line of intellectually challenged people down at the club. They are pretty much all ******ed meatheads. My IQ level would probably be the total sum of the 372 coaches they have down there. We need some people with brains and creative minds to start running the place.

Not sure what happened to them, but remember the WAFL reports Malaxos used to write? They could have been written by an 8 year old.
"He was good."
"He was good."
"He got a few kicks. His kicking was good."
"He tried hard. He was OK."
"He played a good game."
"He was quiet but did some good things."

I agree times 1 million.

Malaxos is a moron.

Barich was on and likened Malaxos's use of the english language as similar to Jackovich - and we all know how he can butcher it.
