    I'm against racially vilifying someone but thinks it's far to much of a penalty.

    Pretty poor behaviour from Sherman, it's not as if he's a kid. A player who's played over 100 games should know better.

    Re: Sherman banned for vilification

    I'm so disappointed, but at least he seems to have taken it on the chin and apologised at the first opportunity - you're right G-Mo77, living with being known to have done that is going to be very tough.

    I'm also with you guys in thinking that 4 weeks seems a little out of whack. Penalties for a range of indiscretions in the league seem a little out of whack though.

    The club should make a stance and stand him down for the rest of the year. There is just no need for these types of comments.

    If everyone seems to forget about Reiwoldt's naked bod all over the internet, I reckon they are gonna forget about this soon enough....

    According to Anderson, all parties agreed to suspension.

    If person vilified does not agree, it goes to the tribunal

    Idiot.

    What about the diversity just on our list alone? e.g. Stack. Hill. Liberatore. Skinner. Giansiracusa. Murhpy. Jones. Markovic.

    He is basically villifying his own squad. Disgace. A sad day for our club.

    Whilst I certainly don't condone what Justin has said and done, I certainly HOPE we don't fully hang him out to dry in this board. Suerly we have ALL said or done things that we aren't proud of & regret. 4 weeks suspension & $5000 fine is a just penalty IMHO

    I think we need pace & outside run.

    Serves him right though - no place for that stuff on or off the field
