Docker Shocker? Post by: Mix 94.5 21 April, 2009 - 4:15 PM
We've received the official press release from the Fremantle Dockers, a club surrounded by negative speculation about some off-field antics.Fremantle chief executive officer Steve Rosich today addressed the media regarding comments recently made by player development coach Stephen Malaxos on community radio.
"Stephen is an experienced and well-respected employee of this football club but the comments he made were wrong," Rosich said.
"We regret the speculation that has occurred about our players and the football club because of those comments.
"The facts are that two of our younger players have played a private, non-discriminatory, harmless practical joke on four of their team mates.
"They have egged, and in one case, glad wrapped their team mates' cars and taken photos of themselves while each was wearing a disguise that included a cut-off sheet, mask, hat, sunglasses and scarf.
"On viewing the photo, I am sure you will agree that Stephen's description was not accurate."
What do you think? Is the media kicking the Dockers whilst they're down?
