Don't like the bloke as a player, this has furthered my dislike.
No room for this at footy whichever side of the race debate it comes from, this is where our AFL players should take the lead and be role models.

Yeah, no room for that.
Interestingly the article said an unnamed player......I'm pretty sure there was only one dark-skinned brother playing for Gold Coast.

Article says Wilkinson.
If Sherman didn't tell us he was a moron by the way he carries himself after kicking a goal or two, or his haircut in general, he has just proved it. Had him in the same category as Kyle Reimers from Essendon but he has surpassed that level. Absolute tosser.

Find it amazing he can still play for Williamstown in VFL while he serves his suspension at AFL level. WTF???

He isnt actually suspended, just not available for selection

Left field call here, and I know I'll cop it...
Drug use is an addiction, it is not a good thing, but it isn't necessarily something you can stop.
Travis Tuck is done with AFL because of drugs... Ben Cousins will be thought of differently forever because of drugs... Those are two recent examples.
Tuck got 12 games (IIRC) for drugs.
Racism is something stupid. Something very ignorant people use to make themselves feel better and it is very preventable. You simply don't say it.
This peanut should have got more games than Tuck did.
End of rant. Now shoot me!

Should be made to sit out the rest of the season like the spectator who racially abused Majak Daw.

I thought the exact same thing of the guy, misses a set shot against the crows two weeks back when the pressure was on. Then gets two gimmies in the square and celebrates like he has won them the game.
I thought I had heard somewhere that he was doing it all day aswell? He looks and sounds like he is an absolute knob!

How brain dead would you have to be to even think it's a good idea and something you'll get away with?

What do his indigenous team mates at the Bulldogs think of him now?
As Barto has said, did he think that no action would be taken?
What it shows is the peanut thinks the first gamer would not have the courage to speak up.The look on the young blokes face when Sherman comes up to him after the game is of pure wonder. Wondering WTF are you coming over to talk to me for?

What a douche. Winmar lifted his jumper way back in 1993 and yet some people on and off the field still haven't twigged.
