The black eagle of the Republic of Germany was reinstated by the German Republic following the fall of the Nazi's and re-establishment of autonomous Government in 1950. Just to reiterate, the arms of Boumann's breast have absolutely nothing to do with the Nazi's, in fact it is the very symbol they abolished during their Third Reich.
    And the Nazis appropriated the Indian swastika and turned it nasty and the Aryan race. Aryan is Iranian/Persian. How they figure Aryan is the blond master race is beyond me. They trace it to blondie Alexander the still Great and claim Greek Cleopatra was blonde!

    Not shocking, Carlton supporters were even more vicious towards him than we were.

    Career effectively ended by a 2 week suspension that Carlton couldn't be bothered challenging, but Cripps got off...

    Dahlhaus joins Higgins in retirement.

    Hopefully he will return for the premiership reunions if he can get motivated enough to attend.

    It would be interesting to hear him talk about the club in reflection.

    It ended sourly, but he was a big part of our fabric for more than a few years.

    The energy and excitement Dalhaus brought to our group was fantastic during dark times at our club. In his first few years we finished 10th, 15th, 15th and 14th. I loved watching him play and his attack on the ball. Bulldog immortal and played a key role in the 2016 Premiership. Unfortunately the game evolved faster than his key attributes.

    Was luckier enough to get a photo of him on the fence after the 2016 Prelim win which is one of the best nights of my life.

    Best wishes to Luke. Loved him at the Dogs. He was king of the kids during his time with us. Obviously some issues in his exit from the club but he was a big part of our premiership success.

    My son still talks about him so he left an impression.

    Wow Tommy Campbell gets another year at the Saints . He would have to be closest to the player with the most years in the system with the least games.

    Pretty handy signing for VAFA Premier club Old Xaverians, securing old boy and former AFL Bulldog Billy Gowers, who has spent the past two years with Southport in the VFL. His grandfather Trevor and father, Andy, both played at Xavs.
