    Here's the Western Bulldogs statement.

    For those who were always the underdogs and wore it as a badge of honour.

    Re: Sherman banned for vilification

    Well you can't defend the indefensivable behaviour/comments.

    It's really disappointing. And nobody will be more disappointed in him, than himself.

    The agreed punishment between the parties reflects how serious an issue it is.

    I agree 100%, I hope what was said justifies the penalty. Have some concern if there could of been a over reaction.

    He is an idiot and deserves to be punished but 4 weeks is excessive would have been better off clocking him.

    The bulldogs suggested the 4 weeks and fine and GC accepted it.

    It was always going to be him, you could see the way some players were roughing him up, obviously Sherman doesn't know the difference.

    There is no over reaction when it comes to racial vilification. He is lucky to get only 4 weeks.

    Re: Sherman gets 4 weeks

    I strongly disagree with any suggestion that this is an over reaction. Racism is a blight. I am so disappointed that our club is involved. The penalty is more than justified. Congrats if it is correct that we suggested and initiated the penalty instead of hiding behind weasel words and protecting someone has done wrong.

    Look around our heartland where every race lives side by side. I am proud when I see young Sudanese kids walking around with our jumpers & scarves. We should be, and have been, role models for anti racism with our community focus and programs. This is a sad day for our club and I hope it doesn't undo the respect we have earned as a socially progressive organization.

    Get off your high horses those calling for the rest of the year etc. Admit you've never made a mistake. It was wrong by him.

    I think hes been something we've really needed, apart from whats just happened obviously.
    He's been more good than bad (football wise).

    Harsh penalty prob decided by the AFL's PR dept.

    Still, stupid thing for Sherm to do so hopefully he learns.

    Our recruits from up nth aren't making our PR team's job any easier!

    No, the penalty was put forward by the Club and GC accepted.

    Why would it.

    An individual within our organisation has done the wrong thing. Our club has shown how much it abhors this by punishing the player and stating that it is totally unacceptable.
